Here is a typical exchange during the morning.
d: Mommy! Babies behind the couch! (screaming this across the house because I obviously couldn't hear otherwise)
me: Okay, I'm coming.
(10 seconds later)
d: Mommmmyyy!! Babies, behind the couch!!! (imagine the volume increasing here)
me: Okay, I'm coming.
(problem resolved)
(2 minutes later)
d: Mommy! e has the remote control.
me: Okay, I'm....
d: Mommy! m unplugged the lamp.
me: Okay, I...
(5 seconds later)
d: Mooommmmyyyy!!!!! I want a show!!
me: Oka....
d: Mommy! I WANT A SHOW!!! SHOW! NOW ! NOW !
(muttered under my breath)
me: Dear God, give me the strength to get through the first half hour of the day
(time: 7:45am)....why, oh why, can't they offer all day..or better yet 24/7....preschool??
I've muttered that same prayer. Over. And over. And over.
