Conundrum

Oh, what to write about today, on a Friday afternoon when PJ keeps coming in and out of her room asking for a cup of tea in her fairy costume. I know it sounds cute…but it’s not.

Hmmm. I could write about our trip to the gym this morning. When I was trying to get the three of them out of the daycare and PJ wanted so badly to finish her art project and after the few moments I had given her to finish-up she threw a hissy fit, flopped to the ground undulating like a fish out of water and crying that she was now too tired to put her shoes on, her coat on, and for that matter just too tired to move (with the exception of the convulsions). As the day-care workers looked on in horror, I picked her up off the floor and now with two kids in my arms we made strides to leave. Then, on our way out, she hawked a big loogie all over the door jam. And then… AND THEN, I sent her back in to clean it up.

Or, I could write about the book I am trying to read, Sibling’s Without Rivalry, How to help your children live together so you can live too. You know, simple stuff, like how to teach a three and five year old how to resolve conflict. I just wish someone could shoot this shit straight into my brain. By the time I am done reading this book my kids will be done beating each other senseless and onto some other parenting book subject that I can’t quite find the time to read all the way through.

Or, maybe I should write about the subject of dinner…our friends are coming over tonight and there ain’t much going on in the fridge. We’ve got ground turkey? Thoughts? Maybe if we drink enough wine, it just won’t matter.

I think I’ll just skip writing today. None of this sounds remotely interesting.
