Confessions of a Modern Mom

My kids have regular orders at Sonic. Seriously Landon is going through all the flavors you can mix with root beer. The first words out of his mouth when I pick him up from school are "can we go to Sonic?" Cotton repeats what he eats at the fast food restaurants, as we pass them. If we go out to a real restaurant, Cotton will repetitively say "McDonald's french fries and chicken nuggets," in protest to the inferior french fries of where ever we happen to be. Once, we went to Einstein Brothers for breakfast, and he did not stop saying "pancakes, McDonalds" until we left the restaurant. He also repeated this on his talker for emphasis.

For the record, we did the whole gfcf, sf and cf DAN! protocol for two years. I am not sure why, but I feel like I should mention that here.

The second thing that comes out of Landon's mouth when I pick him up is "can I play the Wii?" and then quickly follows with "with Cotton?" because he KNOWS I live to watch my kids play together. Especially because Rev likes to play along too, only he uses a hairbrush instead of a controller (really cute by the way).

They watch a lot of TV, but only because it is summer and like a million degrees outside. Usually I try to limit, but lately it has been a steady diet of TV, video games, and of course Sonic.

We make frozen pizzas, and chicken nuggets and don't judge, easy fries on a weekly (daily) basis (if you don't know what easy fries are, you are just plain better off). I use household cleaners with chemicals, because well, you should see the damage that three little boys can do to a bathroom.

I am really, really looking forward to school starting this week. I may do a happy dance or two, and I won't even weep as Cotton gleefully runs to his bus in the mornings (he is looking forward to it as well). In fact I will probably go back to sleep until the other boys wake up. That means I have no problem putting him on the bus in my pjs.

I also feel like I must mention that my kids do eat fruits and veggies ( with their french fries). Come up for air between video games from time to time, and do not ever have access to chemical cleaners (that's a joke). I also use cloth diapers, and reusable grocery bags so you know I am not a total heathen (not that there is anything wrong with heathens).

So there you have it, glad to get that off my chest... ahhh I feel better:P
