If you were at my house this morning you may have found yourself being put into "The Naughty Spot" for one or more of the following transgressions.
1. Sneaking leftover Valentine's chocolate.
2. Playing soccer with a Tupperware bin full of tiny beads and having it explode mid-air.
3. Playing with the grandmother clock.
4. Emptying an entire container of baby wipes to clean the boogies off your bedroom wall.
5. Experimenting with gravity by carefully dropping spoonfuls of applesauce onto the carpet.
If you were the mother at my house you may have found yourself coping by doing one of the following:
1. Drinking 2 (okay 3) cans of Diet Coke before noon.
2. Sneaking the rest of the Valentine's Day chocolate while children were in the naughty spot.
3. Ignoring children while buying random stuff on eBay.
4. Praying for a long nap so you can cope happily with the rest of the day after husband informs you he'll be working late, again.

Sometimes I'm glad I haven't been blessed with kids.
Sorry about your rough morning. Eat more chocolate.
oh, i love your blog, amy. it's like therapy. i can relate to your downing diet coke as a coping mechanism. my friends here end the day in a very effecive manner with a gin and tonic or a glass of red wine. diet coke, although helpful, just doesn't cut it quite like i suspect alcohol can.
during sofia's first nine months of life, when she and her brother were finally down for the night, i used to go into the kitchen and sit down to breathe deeply and mow thru an entire package of tim tams (the most divine chocolate cookie i've ever encountered). something about the combination of chocolate and crunching seemed to calm me...
did you enjoy hawaii?
Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure I'd be a good source of therapy, but if you want to vent, I'm your girl!
