My Life Managed by a 4 year old

Yesterday, I took the kids to play at a play gym for the morning. They only take cash there so I had to stop at the bank. I also happened to have a check that needed deposting so I figured I could deposit the check and then get $20 out. I tell the kids we have to run by the ATM. I pull into the bank, put my card in, deposit the check, drive away. As I'm pulling away, Alexis pipes up from the back seat. "Mom, you didn't get any money". CRAP! I did not even accomplish my whole entire purpose of going to the ATM. I mean Alexis remembered that I needed money. Why the heck couldn't I? So we circle back around and pull up the ATM, again. As I put my card in, a little voice from the back says, "mom, don't forget the money this time". Thank you my darling.

Things You Should Never Have to Say

This whole 3rd trimester of pregnancy really has not been good for the blogging experience. Hopefully, once I have an infant, I'll be able to blog more often while I'm awake at 3am. Anyway....

I noticed while I was driving today that I have said so many things in the course of the morning that should never have to be said. But when you have a 4 year old and a 2 year old, for some reason, all of these things came out of my mouth this morning:

"Stop licking your feet"
"If you throw another shoe at my head while I'm driving, we will be pulling over"
"Can you stop letting Riley lick your pancake"
"Please get your hand out of there"
"Do not jump on his head"
"Stop playing tug-a-war with Riley" - picture Riley as the rope
"Riley is not a bicycle"
"No you cannot have another vitamin"
"I know that tastes gross, you just put hand sanitizer on your hands"
"You cannot do a flip right there"

I wonder if I should keep a diary of all the ridiculous things you say that you never imagined yourself saying prior to children. That could make a good book one day.
