Yesterday morning I got up late, sick and not well rested from my night of slumber. More often than not I find Sunday night a night of unrest, I wake several times to look at the clock and make sure I don’t over sleep. Even though I’ve set my alarm, I get up and check it, during the night, to make sure I didn’t screw up. This Sunday night was no different.
Getting up late and not feeling well, yesterday, left me running around a bit hurried in the morning. We still had the ice chest, filled with melted ice, beer, water bottles and a few sodas, sitting on the washer in our kitchen from Sunday’s day of swimming and a BBQ at my brother-in-laws house. The Snitch asked me for a juice box, pointing at the red ice chest. I looked in, saw none, and told her there was only beer and soda. She asked for a soda, at 6:45 am, so I poured her half and moved on. Did I mention I was running late and wasn’t in my right mind feeling well?
So last night Mister and I were watching TV in our room when The Snitch comes in and says Mom, can I have the rest of my soda from this morning? Turning, slowly, he looks at me and says You let her have soda this morning? I replied What? There were no juice boxes and she was thirsty! Darn kid. Then I turn my attention to her and said Thanks, kid, you just got me in trouble with Daddy! Shoulders arched, funny little smile and an oops tone to her voice she said Sorry. But can I still have my soda?
Later last night Mister and I were in the kitchen making our lunches for today when I told him that yesterday morning I made the girls and I banana breakfast shakes with the ripe bananas on the counter. His response? I was wondering why the blender was out. I said OK, really, I made the kids and I some Monday morning Margarita’s to start the week on the right foot. Laughing he responded with I wouldn’t be surprise because a Margarita is only one step up from a SODA at 7am! Damn. Give a kid HALF a soda at 7am and the responsible parent doesn’t let you forget that shit. That’s like the year I forgot our wedding anniversary, the one and ONLY time I forgot, he still won’t let me forget that shit. I can’t help it if it was our FIRST anniversary. Sheesh! Cut a girl some slack! lol

My 14 year old son drinks whatever he wants. Caffiene has never bothered him…
My little girl? Please…a soda at 7 am = still bouncing off the walls at bedtime.
I’ve been thinking about giving her an energy drink right before I take her back to her Mom
Morning Ho!
I beat all them other Ho’s again???
Yep, they suck.
Except for Craze.

Bwahahaha! She got you busted!
I can laugh at yours, but when Sam got me busted with my mom (for leaving him alone for less than 1/2 hour at 8 p.m. back in May) and she gave me hell, oh, that boy paid and paid well. I didn’t leave him home alone at all for the next month. Not even 10 minutes during the afternoon. I made him go with me everywhere. Damn kid!

Busted!!!! LMAO! She threw you right under the bus with that one.
I don’t mind kids having a soda once in awhile, but I still remember the kid I had in kindergarten that had candy and a 12 ounce soda in his lunch EVERY DAY. You wonder why he couldn’t concentrate in school.

Slick, you are an evil man to do that to your ex. Funny as hell, but evil all the same.
Sue, that was so funny when he snitched you out to your mom! And nothing says pay back like being mom’s shadow for a month. Teach him to keep his yap shut! hehe
Chris, busted was the word of the day.
Heidi, my kids are in heaven when we let them have a soda, which we usually make them share. Its more of a weekend treat than a daily staple. I can’t believe parents would pack that crap for their lunch!

I’m still half asleep when I first get up and I probably would have poured a beer! I think he should be thrilled you didn’t give her 1/2 a beer!

Dude, you only live once, a little soda in the morning never hurt anyone. LOL

That’s pretty funny. And no, guys don’t forget. We have so little to tag you ladies that we remember every little misstep…its our only ammo!

I would have done the same thing. Yawn. You can’t be accountable for the first hour of being awake…can you?

Gwen, that’s what I thought too! Cut me some slack, Mister.
Trish, I should’ve had a beer while I asked her to pour me some coffee.
Craze, you should’ve seen her eyes light up when she heard I don’t care.
Flyin, I guess I understand. Considering we don’t mess up much.
Barb, so can I legally be unaccountable within the first 30 minutes of getting out of bed? Sweet!

The snitch did it on purpose – not nice to play Daddy and Mommy off against each-other…
I’d call her on passive-aggressive things like that fast – smiling while you pull that stuff doesn’t make it funny.
Of course, maybe she’s only 6 and truly innocent…

Next time you should pour that soda over a bowl of fruit loops. Or something. LOL
