Two visitors in one morning? WOW!

We have had the rare occurrence of having two moms come visit this morning. Of course it wouldn’t be morning without Mean Mom coming for a visit. Haha Emma has been a treat (more so than usual) to live with especially in the mornings lately. Poor Mean Mom has been having to work overtime with Emma lately. I think it has more to do with hormones than anything else. I just hope and pray I Mean Mom makes it with all my her hair intact until she moves out. Haha She seems to fight everything and everyone in her path. Sometimes it can be a bit much to deal with. This morning was no exception. Apparently Elaina looked at her wrong (yes, literally) and Emma started hitting her and screaming at her. Mean Mom nipped that really quick with a reminder of yesterday morning. Oh, did I forget to mention what happened? No worries. I’ll fill you in. :} I was using the squiggy to clean the dew off the windows so I could see out the windows while taking the kids to school. While doing the backseat window, I noticed Jacob and Emma hitting each other. I opened the door and told them to get out and start walking. They were quite stunned to say the least. Those two were lucky they were picked up at the corner! I’m just getting really tired of all the fighting in the morning. Most of it caused by my hormonal 10 year old egged on by my easily agitated 15 year old or over-stimulated 7 year old or trying to be funny, but not 13 year old. UGH!  This morning, Emma quickly sulked and adjusted herself so she didn’t have to look at Elaina. Ahh, the joys of the morning commute! Haha

I was also fortunate enough to have Silly Mom come visit. Believe it or not, I was actually in a good mood before and after Mean Mom visited. :} I was telling the boys about reading some of the fun stuff on http://mylifeisaverage.com/. I told them about a class that played with the whole “the floor is lava” thing. You know, where you melt if you touch the lava. Well, the boys said that was just not something they could do. They are too serious to disrupt a class like that. Haha Well, Silly Mom was inspired to try and have a little fun with Josh.  When Jake got out, Josh decided to move to the front seat. Silly Mom thought it would be fun to pretend to drive off while he was in the middle of moving. So, as he shut the back door, I she pushed the gas a little. He started jogging and grabbing the open front door. I she stopped and let him in. We both had a great laugh. We haven’t laughed like that in a long time. It was really nice. I think it also helped that Jake was running off like we were the plague while a small cluster of kids were sitting around the flag pole in front of the school gaping at us. The looks on their faces were priceless! I don’t know if they got a kick out of it like Josh and I did, but it gave them something to talk about for the rest of the day! I hope Silly Mom comes back more frequently.  She's a lot more fun to have around than Mean Mom!
