I do not know if I was drinking, smoking, or having a mini stroke but I decided I wanted to take the kids on a trip up north to Flagstaff so they could see snow. "It is going to be great!", "The kids will love it", and "We will get major parent kudos" I tell my husband. All of it was true! Our kids loved it and had a blast! I did leave one thing out when telling my husband what will come from this 1 day vacation. I did not tell him we would want to kill all 3 children AND each other by the time we got home. I did not tell him that we will have probably curse at each other and call each other names because we cannot say it to the ones we want to, our children.

Annoying him is what I do best |
You know those moments you want to tell your 11 year old son that "Your acting like your damn vagina is bigger than mine and you need to man the fuck up!" but you say it to your husband because you do not want to traumatize your child. You know your husband is as fucked up as he's going to get so you don't care what you say to him.
Once you get to your destination is usually when things lighten up. This is NOT the case when the place you visit is 20 degrees colder than what you are use to. When you have to wear clothes like you are visiting Alaska, you are FUCKED!

We are smiling because the kids are off with Grandma and Papa for 2 minutes |

We were done in the snow and thought "YES! They ran and played like crazy when we get to the hotel they will pass the F out!" NOPE! They were hyped to be sleeping in an effing hotel room! WTF? As soon as I yell at one to stop doing something the other one does it. "Are you effing deaf?! What did I just tell your brother?" I said this like 5 times with in 20 minutes. This is all happening as my husband is passing out to the NyQuil he just took (asshole). Tava couldn't figure out where she wanted to sleep, with us? The floor? With us? The tub? I am now regretting not packing the damn Benadryl.
Finally the next morning comes so we can go home. Everyone is so excited. When I say everyone I mean us adults! We are all smiles and know we now have things to hold over our childrens heads when they decide to be little douche bags. "Oh you want to throw a fit because we are not going out to dinner? Do you remember when we took you to Flagstaff and let you do this and that and this? REMEMBER THAT? HUH? BECAUSE I REMEMBER!!!" Oh yes...we have about a good 3 months of throwing this in their faces.

Here are a few from the actual fun times :)
I think probably saying it in front of the kids is just as traumatizing as to them. Plus when you hear something just as horrible from one sibling to another later, you will probably be mortified and wonder where they got the idea it was okay to say that. Posting about drugging the baby on social networking is not in your best interest especially when you have "friends" that notify Facebook when you have a pic up of your tiny ones fanny!
ReplyDeleteShe didn't say she drugged her kid. It was a joke, like funny ha ha ha. A lot of parents think about it, doesn't mean they do it.. Let's be honest with ourselves. Lighten up, okay? Thanks.
