this post totally explains about 75% of the reasoning behind my mom yelling at all of us throughout our childhood. we used to look at each other and say, “dang, what’s her problem?” — um, we were probably doing exactly what Seth was doing. only there were 5 of us.

crap. my mom really must love us a lot. considering none of us were victims of childhood stab wounds.

Same son (now 10) came into our bedroom this morning, whining about some minor detail, and waking up his youngest sister, who had been brought to bed at 5 am.

“Real Moms Occasionally Want to Kill Their Children,” I thought, drowsily.

May sleep heal you!<br/><br/>I remember being so sleep deprived when my kids were younger -- I actually eplained it to them that Mommy is a more FUN Mommy when you let her sleep a little more.... oh yeah!

Except... still pretty. Just tired pretty.<br/><br/>This truth holds for non-moms too. My boyfriend knows very very well to be extra nice to me when I haven't slept... OR PAY THE PRICE. I don't yell... I cry. Which is probably worse, from his perspective.<br/><br/>I can't help but laugh at the requests on the dog's behalf though. You have a little Doolittle on your hands.
