Merry and Bright

bad mom?

"There are some days when I have to choose between being a bad mom or an embarrassed mom. Today I chose bad mom...I gave in and bought her the candy. " ~Kathy

When my good friend said this I laughed hard.

First because she is just so darn funny.
Second because I mostly felt sorry for her inability to control her child.

Well....guess who chose bad today?!

That's right! Go ahead and judge

But when it came right down to it I had to give in.

My girls wouldn't stop screaming. I tried everything. I tried talking calmly. I walked away from the temptation. I hugged and loved. I even offered choices ya know, the whole love and logic thing. Well love and logic simply fly out the window when you're dealing with 2 kids under the age of three and baked goods are involved.

Lilly ate an entire cinnamon roll from Kneaders for lunch.

Sophia ate nothing but a chocolate chip cookie and rootbeer for lunch.

Me? well, I ate a delicious turkey ranch sandwich with chips and a large half coke/half diet coke.

Bad mom vs. Embarrassed mom.

hmmmmmm-the verdicts still out

But today's results were pleasant

AND

We all ate happily ever after!

eBay

eBay-ers I have 2 words for you:

Garage Sale

I love the eBay and have had several good experiences but one thing I would like to point out is that there are WAY too many tings being sold for WAY too much.

"Used", "Slightly Used", "Some Wear", "Used -but in Excellent Condition" are all nice ways of saying "not new, will never smell new, will never wear new, it's a crap shoot so good luck sucker and there is no such thing as a lemon law or buyers remorse- Or in the life lesson words of my uncle who sold me a car that gave up the ghost the next day "You sorry you bought the car? well, then there's your buyers remorse!"
