Alert the committee! I have this year's award sewn up! Don't even think that you've got a shot at it. Puh-lease...I'm measuring my head for the MOTY tiara right now.
Earlier today, I got all over my 12 year old (in front of the neighbors) for flopping all over the couch and being dramatic in the way only a pre-teen boy can be.
"Are you sick?" I grilled him. "No? Then knock it off. What is wrong with you today?"
Imagine that at least 20 times interspersed with his protestations that he is fine followed by a heavy sigh. I finally sent him to his room because "You're starting to tick me off with the flopping and the sighing. Go to bed until you can figure out how to behave in front of people."
Don't you wish you'd had such a loving mother?

That was his temp. The kid has a crazy sky high fever and I'm all up in his chili about flopping around. Go to bed!!!!!!!! For all that is holy, you're sick! Go to bed!
I'm going to sit here and drown my guilt in fresh, warm tortillas and wait for the committee to call.

that anon. comment is me. Silly blogger!
Ugh! Triple silly! Anon comment disappeared. It just wasn't meant to be.
Hugs. No guilt. There.
Been there :)
Been there, too! I once got angry at #3 because he was out of bed at 1AM and wouldn't tell me why. Duh, sleep walking! Felt great about that one! Love ya!!
Join the ranks of the rest of us mortals. Hugs. Hope your young man feels better soon, AND doesn't give whatever it is to everyone else in the family.
It happens. I would have been all over the poor kid 'why didn't you tell me you have a fever?!?!?'.
I did something like this when I was first married, nagging Vin to fix a banister and do other home improvements when all he wanted to do was lay around, turns out he had Hodgkins Cancer... 'ummm, sorry honey, you go get chemo, I'll have my brother fix the banister'.

Thank you "The Mom" for some fresh perspective and a laugh. Last night was one of a long line of sleepless nights. Plus my husband couldn't do ANYTHING to soothe him. He just kept crying for me. That's my mother of the year entry.
