Mollysmom - I hear ya! I am so exhausted it's not even funny! I work with kids during the day, then come home to my three nephews (5, 7, & 15) and whoever invented this holiday needs to be shot! Lol! Between dealing with their sugar highs and crashes for the last few days, taking them trick or treating in the rain, dealing with last minute decorations, and attending two adults only parties in the same amount of days, staying up until four in the morning both nights (in four inch stiletto boots no less! My feet are never going to forgive me!) indulging WAY too much in both adult beverages and more calories and sugar then I think I had all freakin' year... Um... Yeah, I was a bit grouchy myself this morning after getting woken up by the boys only four hours after crashing into my bed. I mean, really... They were all up until like 2 in the morning last night so you would think they'd sleep in but NOOO! They went PING! bright and early. Still high on the sugar from last night, I guess.
After figuring out that I was indeed capable of the miracle that is called walking, I went to make coffee and the oldest was being silly and trying to be funny/sarcastic about something that would have been at my expense. I looked him dead in the eye, pointed my finger at him and told him he was seriously short on self-preservation if he dared to finish that sentence before I had even had my first cup of coffee!!
It's a mark of how well trained he is ( and how serious I was in that moment while he stood between me and my precious coffee maker) that he promptly hushed!
