Refresh. Regrow. Renew.

The day started out weird. I overslept. Sleep deprivation has been my life since becoming a mom so I really don't know what to do now that I have had enough sleep. The kids were kind enough to help me though. They each took turns crying about everything; he won't play with me, sister won't share, he touched my fairy books, don't want to play with sister. I can't believe how unbelievably irritating they have been so far today. I feel like pulling out my hair, shoving it down my throat until I throw up because that might be less stressful then dealing with my kids.

I have also noticed lately that I tend to let them watch TV when ever they start to irritate me. That's a great lesson to teach them. Irritate mom and get a TV show. I decided that might not be a lesson that I want them to learn, so instead I sent them to their rooms to cool off. That created something new for me to deal with that I am not anywhere close to being ready for. After a bit, I decided to check on the boogers only to find my two year old son playing with his 'one-eyed snake' which was more like a Happy Tree at that moment. I quickly ran back to the safety of my room where I hide not knowing what to do. Scream. Laugh. Call 911. Thankfully, when I went back he was trying to put on his diaper back on and the crisis was temporally diverted. So much for the extra sleep, maybe I will curl up in bed and suck my thumb for awhile. Nope, I would rather go shopping and forget my day!

During all this I happen across this crude poem of sorts that brought me a great deal of laughter so I thought that I would share.

Tired of sissy friendship poems.......?

Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good,but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces in this message, just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got laid.
4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.
6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want to catch whatever you have .
8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
9. This is my oath..... I pledge it to the end.

"Why?" you may ask;"because you are my friend".

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.

Send this to "all 10" of your friends, then get depressed because you can only think of four!!! (And don't send it back to me....I don't want to hear it!!!)
