If You Can't Do Gross, Don't Bother Having Children

This could be a post to deter teenage girls to become pregnant, but it's actually just one of my little rants. Anyway, here's how I spent my Sunday today (and the scary thing is that it's not over yet):

1- Got up early (too early for a Sunday morning anyway!) at 8.00 am so that I could bring my daughter to 10.00 am mass: I don't go to mass, but she wants to do her communion after her father used emotional blackmail on her, telling her that she will never see him again unless she does the blasted thing, which would make me pretty happy, but not her, so I obliged. I rebelled by not putting change in the basket.

2- Got home and made the beds: the same daughter that made me get up at all hours this morning had chicken pox last week and even though she's much better now, she is still shedding some crusts, so I vacuumed them (no point in changing her sheets yet when I know there will be the same amount tomorrow), gross but necessary.

3- We got a satellite dish installed yesterday, but I'm not allowed to watch it until the kids have gone to bed; the kids channels are blaring on all day. I was thinking of making apple muffins, but if the kids can't be arsed to let me watch a little TV, I can't be arsed to make them yummy muffins either.

4- Spent half my day wiping yucky green snot from my 5 year-old; I taught her how to clean her nose last year, but she must have forgotten during last summer. She'd rather lick her own snot than trying to blow her nose in a tissue. Gross no. 2.

5- My 7 year-old daughter has long, thick, wavy brown hair: the worst case scenario if she ever gets toothpaste in her hair like she did last night before going to bed. I only noticed this morning when brushing her hair; it's like some concrete has dried in her hair, only it's still sticky even after almost 24 hours (at least concrete dries!)

6- My 5 year-old (the snotty one) has knocked down the Christmas tree (again). She was hiding behind it and the blanket she had partly tucked down in the back of her trousers to make her look like she has a tail must have done it.

Well a pretty average day for any parent I guess. So you still wanna have kids? I'm putting mine up for adoption.
