The Mommies' Diaries…Parenting, One Blog at a Time.

Last week was the worst in a long time.  I had started getting sick the week before but I was sure it was just allergies.  Then on Tuesday, my normal posting day, I worked which I normally don’t do.  Before I had the chance to write, I had an allergic reaction to something.  Still not sure what, but it was horrid. The week just went further down hill after that. I wrapped up the week with bronchitis.

Being a stay at home mom, most of the time, I have no “sick days.”  Sadly, even though there are no sick days, there is a 5 year old in my house who doesn’t understand “mommy is sick.”  The show must go on!

We are in full kindergarten mode….

As I was writing the above post I got the best blog fodder anyone could hope for.  My first “I hate you!”  Yes, my 5 year old has told me she hates me.  What was it over you ask?  High heels.  Yes, she wants to wear her princess high heels to the mall. I kindly explained that high heels are not appropriate for 5 year old little girls to wear.  I showed her that I was wearing flip flops.  No go.

She has stomped off, told me that she hated me, and slammed her door.  I’m sorry, I thought she was 5 not 13!  When the teenage years hit I am so in for it. Good thing is that I don’t take it personally.  I am actually not upset at all.  In fact I am quite proud it took until she was 5 to get here.

Does anyone else feel like kids just grow up too fast these days?  I said “I hate you” to my mom plenty in my teen years, but at 5 years old?!  My five year old can roll her eyes with the best of them.  I already said she slams her door.  These are all things that I did growing up but I certainly don’t do them now.  Where is she learning this????

Sigh, looks like a new phase has begun.  Please enlighten me as to how you are all dealing with this – oh wise ones.
