Wake up at 6 AM, tiptoe downstairs for some alone time and coffee = check
Do some stretching so old 34 year old body doesn't seize up after challenging yoga class = check
Tear hair out when toddler wakes up 20 minutes after all this, and NO coffee has actually been drunk = check
When they come out, they're implanted with the homing device, of this I am sure. And the device is specifically designed to sniff out your lame attempts at being alone, without them.
Ugh. Now to get said screaming toddler and maybe have that coffee. After husband has cup. And toddler has milk. And preschooler has tantrum...
Or, my personal favorite... you are out for a night of dinner with a girlfriend or hubby. The babysitter or whoever is watching child hears NOTHING from them all evening... for hours. Nothing.
ReplyDeleteYou walk in the door. And within MINUTES, maybe even seconds, said child is crying for MOMMY!
It's soooo true!!!
Oh so true. They can SMELL you, my friend. It's very animal-like and earthy. :-) A survival technique no doubt. That said, I didn't get to finish my cup of coffee that morning. Sigh... BUT, we did get out the door for our road trip to Long Island in record time. Woohoo!
