Bad mood.

For some reason, I came home from work in a bad mood. And everything is driving me crazy. I have no idea why.

Upstairs neighbor kids and their friends were making paper airplanes and throwing them all over the yard and having a fantastic time doing so. Are they hurting anything? No. So why did I want to scream and yell and strangle them? No idea. I just made my kids go inside so I didn't have to sit outside.

Then I feed all 3 kids a different meal. Easy ones. Without really even talking to them. A bowl of cereal, a bowl of ramen and whatever Tanion had. Did I feed Tanion? Hell, I don't even know...

And I talk to my sister on the phone - who is sick with a nasty cold. She called to make sure I didn't care that she had a cold when she comes to watch my kids so that I could go to Bon Jovi on Tuesday. SO what do I do? Do I ask how Kaylee is doing with her cold and double ear infection? Nope. I lecture her on why she shouldn't be moving so quickly with her new boyfriend because I think she likes him because he doesn't care that she's still obsessive over Sean. Awesome, Mandy. Real supportive.

And THEN I tell the kids that they really need to clean their room cuz I'm in a bad mood and I don't want to yell at them (fair warning, right?) So I decided to throw in the whole "If you do, I'll take you to McDonald's Playland to play" - not thinking that they actually WILL clean their room and I'll have to follow thru. So what do they do? They freaking clean their room! And am I happy about it? NO! Now I have to go sit at McDonald's Playland by myself for the next hour.

SO all of these things that aren't bad (and are even actually kind of good) are making me angry. For no apparent reason. Which makes me even more angry...

***sigh***

Time to buck up and be my normally happy self and get me some McDonald's for dinner and watch the kiddos have fun. Maybe it'll cheer me up.

I want, I Want, I WANT!!!

I was feeling quite crappy this morning and called in sick. Around 10:30am, I started feeling better and decided to catch up my blog-surfing (and maybe even writing!)... A blog I follow mentioned this wonderful site: www.perpetualkid.com/

Here are some of the ever so delightful items you can find there...

SNOOPY SNO-CONE MACHINE

My Grandma Bagley had one of these at her house when we lived with her (so 1987/1988?). I LOVED this thing. And I want one ($16.99 ). My birthday IS coming up... Just sayin...

MONSTER HAND TATTOOS
How cool are these tattoos?!
Can't you just see my boys running around "eating" each other with their hand monsters? Awesome. :)

NinjaBread Men
Yes, please!
How cool are these cookie cutters?
My boys would LOVE it!

Smiley face ice cube tray

YAY! :) I'm all about smiley faces!!

And last, but absolutely in NO WAY least....

Mario Room Decals

Basically a giant sticker that you can put on your walls to make it look like the Super Mario video game. Someday, I will have these. You mark my words! Too spendy for me now ($70.00 for three 26"*40" sheets) but I will. When I can live in my whole house, there's gonna be a game room. And this will be my decor.

SO, have you checked out their site yet?
It's addicting!
