As we've discussed on other rants, I have a couple of kids. GC#1 (Girl-child #1) is about 5 and she can be really good when she wants to be and so incredibly annoying, almost at the same time. GC#2 I'm pretty sure has ADD at the tender age of not quite 3.
It is physically impossible for them to be still, or quiet for longer than 10 seconds. Now that they are getting a little older, it seems their favorite thing to do is fight. I know it's normal, and I try to be patient but I have to admit that I have (on more than one occasion) dreamed of selling them on ebay. Or, if not selling them, at least sending them to their rooms for a week or so. #1 is also just now beginning to try and figure out "attitude" and I know damn well she is getting this crap from watching the idiot shows on the Disney channel. If I get hold of anyone from the Disney channel, I'm kicking them in the nuts or whatever the equivalent is for a woman.
For all of my whining (and it can be considerable) I love them dearly and try to make sure that I'm reading to them and helping #1 learn how to tell time and things like that. Really, I'm trying to be a good Dad and not just be mad all the time.
However, I have to say to all the women in my life......Would it kill you (all of you) to be in a good mood when Dad got home once in a while? And, to my honey, would it kill you to chase ME around the house for once? I can count on the fingers of one hand the # of times we've gotten naked because you wanted to this year.
Anyway, that's it for the ranting and/or whining today. Saints play tonight and maybe I'll chase my girl around the house and not worry about who is chasing who. Maybe she'll even let me catch her?
Later
