I had kids who thought I was the best thing in the world and wanted to hold and kiss me all day long. Now I have a child that has ultra sensitive ears and tells me how I hurt his feelings almost daily and another who thinks she owns the world...
Zane: "Mommy be sweet to me okay"
Me: "I am sweet to you, aren't I"
Zane: "No, you just yelled at me"
Me: "I didn't yell? What did I say?"
Zane: "You say ZANE DON'T TEAR THAT(in a loud scary voice). You yelled like that."
Me: Even though I totally didn't say it the way he reinacted it, he actually looked hurt...
They then wanted to go outside...and this is what I heard...
Me: Putting a hat on Avery
Avery: "No I don't
even like this one." While taking it off
Me: Putting it back on her. "it's the only one I can find right now."
Avery: "I'm already wearing one. I don't need two."
Me: "You can take the hood off but you have to leave this one on."
Avery: "Well I'm just going to take it off right when I get outside"
Me: "Then you'll come right back inside!"
Avery: "Uh...All i'm saying is you
are rude"
Me: "Avery I am not. You have to have your ears covered."
And all of that for 1.2 minutes of playing outside....

I decided going for a drive out in this weather sounded better than ever! I am finally with Wes who actually appreciates my company!! I haven't seen him for three days since I got the pukes. I'm all good now and glad to see him! He is doing okay. His throat hurts and he has gotten sores in his mouth (a common side effect from no white blood cells) but they are talking about him coming home tomorrow! So we'll see!!! Hopefully no one else in my family gets sick so we can have a clean house for him!
