One of those days

I'm moving slow today since we got back late last night from Alabama. I still need to take a shower and unpack. It is 10am, the boys are asking for anything but breakfast food...teddy grahams, ritz bitz, starburst, nutella bread (which Max decided he didn't want, Henry then ate it, and Max then wanted it, and wouldn't you know I had used the last for that one bread!), and gummy worms.

When I finally decided they couldn't want anything else, Henry started whinning for ice cold water. I said, "Henry, why are you being such a whiny whiny?" He then projected his voice, "Because I get what I want!"

I know that I should care that I am being manipulated by a 3 1/2 year old, and that I am the adult. Right now though, I just want some peace and quiet. I have crumbled snacks on the familyroom floor which I will need to vacuum, and I should drink some water because I am getting a headache. Instead, I am at the computer enjoying the relative quiet.

Now they are back to whining, that didn't last long!
