Mom hasn't felt well these past couple of days. Frankly she is a little hot and cold in the temper department. I have compiled this list of recent behaviors to demonstrate the demeanor of our subject, Sick Mom.
3:30 pm- Mom looks a little green but she is all smiles as she picks me up from school.
3:32 pm- Mom won't let me have ice cream from the ice cream truck. She is evil.
3:35 pm- Ask mom if we can decorate Easter Bonnet for the Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow at school. She says "Can you let me get in the door first?" Obvious hostility.
3:40pm- Mom lets me eat all the sweets I purchased today at the school fair. She is redeemed.
4:00pm- Mom on phone with Granny and keeps shoo'ing me out of the kitchen. Geez!
4:48pm- Mom offers to let us do crafts. Markers and crayons rock. She is awesome!
5:15pm- Hot dogs for dinner with BBQ chips. This woman is really trying to make me happy today.
5:56pm- Mom is yelling at me and KiKi to quit fighting. We aren't fighting. We are having a fundamental difference of opinion.
6:12pm- Mom just took away my markers for coloring on my self. That woman is a killjoy.
6:36pm- Mom says if we clean up the living room she will let us watch a movie. How is that fair?
6:54pm- Mom is a slave driver. Living room clean.
7:10pm- Mom put in Horton Hears a Who for us to watch. Score!
7:15pm- Mom even made popcorn (not the pre-popped stuff in the bag for once). Something has seriously be wrong with her.
7:50pm- KiKi and I are bored with the movie so we are running around the living room. Mom thinks this is not cool. She needs to chill.
8:24pm- Mom says we have to go to bed. Now. Gosh!
Apparently Sick Mom is a benevolent dictator. Nice enough to lull us kids into a false sense of security and then brings down the mighty hammer when we least suspect it.

I just can't believe you don't allow your children ice-cream at every whim. How evil.
Wait a second, I'm letting my inner 5-yr-old loose on the blogs again, sorry.
Benevolent dictators are a good thing. It's the succession that proves problematic.
This is funny! I like the "fundamental difference of opinion" part!
classic...........now here's a hot toddy for ya...
What fun would parenthood be if you didn't get to be a dictator every once and a while?
Hey!! Vodka Mom!!! I'm sick too!!! I could use one of those hot toddies and I live way closer to you than Kat does!
Get better soon, Kat. Your kids just might mutiny.
Its so funny, when sick, that youd let kids do shit they normally wouldnt JUST because you dont care! I love that, Id do the same thing! lol
'We are having a fundamental difference of opinion'
Brilliant.
god i hope you get to feeling much better soon!
(Sick) Mom's are amazingly deceiving like that! This list totally made me LOL
I really want to decorate Easter bonnets, color on myself and eat hotdogs now.
heehee. this made me giggle.
Never let them see you weak, even when you are ACTUALLY weak from sickness! You've done well to maintain power!
Great post! I was laughing out loud!
lol, I love it.
Hope you're feeling better :)
Fresh popped popcorn! You would be my hero!!!
Sweets, chips, a movie home-made popcorn AND a hilarious post all in one day!
What was the name of the medication the doctor (finally) gave you??
Hmm. My comment didn't take. What the heck did I say before? Whatever. Green painting tape sucks. Just thought you should know.
All those opinion changes made me a little dizzy.
I think you need your head examined. ;) Seriously, my arse would never leave the sofa. Fresh popcorn? Whatever.
I am amazed at how much sick mom is like hormonal mom. Not that I would know anything about that.
Sick Mom is probably a lot like Normal Mom, huh?
wow... sounds like a long day.. O_O
G'day from Australia, where my own kids just shake their heads and make twirling signs with their fingers when I intone gravely: ``I was SO born to be a rock star'' ....
LOL! Great stuff... I am (sadly) like this every day! Talk about inconsistent parenting.
Ice Cream Truck drivers are evil and why do they always seem to drive by just 'before' dinner time?
This is toooo funny!!! LOL...How perfectly you have captured the perspective of the innocents...Brilliantly funny! Congrats on your mention in POTD! Well-deserved!
Oh! the joys of parenthood!
Very funny and well done on Daid's POTD - congratulations.
This is hysterical. And not unlike how your employees treat you as a manager.
