You joke, but I think you’ve hit the nail on the head: The world will not be kind to a mollycoddled 21 year old who’s still expecting someone to sing to her when she’s cranky.

You take the Valium, of course – you give the kids vitamin drops and tell them it’s “sleepy medicine.”

Do you give the Valium to the kids or do you take it yourself? Do they still make Quaaludes?

And I think we’re on the same train of thought here, it seems like it’s almost doing your children a disservice to have them expect people will sing to them whenever they act like a fool.

I always wonder about those people who look at you like you’re crazy when you’re in the middle of one of those public muttering under your breath, dragging a child by one arm moments. Maybe it’s not the best way with a kid who wants to climb a cereal display, but it’s certainly not an unexpected way, is it?

Ever since my two youngest turned 3 and 2, I haven’t seen too many parents lose it in public, because I’m too busy chasing them. They are not only runners, they go in different directions.

It does seem like if you let it go too long, it’s harder to jump back in. You just don’t know where to start! I love blogging, but it can’t be my first priority right now. Except when I realize I haven’t posted for a week, then I have to make the time, lest I get dropped from BlogHer.

Hmmm, I wonder if I started drinking, if then booze could serve as a motivator for me to keep calm.
