This morning I had to be a single mother. Nick left early for a dentist appointment and I had to get two monkey's and myself ready for school/ work. Kellan finally stopped eating long enough for me to put Camden's high chair in the bedroom. Camden ate oyster crackers and oatmeal while watching The Mickey Mouse Clubouse. Kellan was fascinated with his monkey mobile and I took a shower with the relentless pain of a major ear infection. We sang and said every word we know on the way to school. Fish and Shoe sound a lot alike coming out of Camden's mouth. By the time I dropped them off I realized, once again, that it was 8am and I still had a full day of my daytime job ahead of me.
I picked up the boys after work and I brought Camden down to Kellan's room. Camden took one look at his old teacher Miss Susanna, batted his eyes and grinned at her with his dimple grin. She ran faster than I've ever seen anyone run and came back with a cracker for Camden. He snatched that cracker out of her hand and looked at me and giggled. He knew exactly what he was doing.
The teacher had to pull the bottle out of Kellan's mouth to hand him to me and he still smiled when he saw me. I think he's taking the Tilley 101 Basics of Charm School.
OMG....Junie B Jones doesn't hold a candle to your writings....I think you should start a series....could be....um.....something like...."You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" or maybe just....."You try taking care of 83 children in the morning"
