American Idol: Live Blogging with Karen

So I'm not doing my own blog ... I'm participating in Karen's ...


Feels Like Home

Retroactive "You gotta love kids" moment...

So a few weeks ago I was sitting on the couch and Matthew made a comment that completely cracked both me and Chris up. At the time, I thought, "I should really write that down!" But I didn't. Oops.

So I've been racking my brain trying to remember what it was. Chris couldn't even remember. I had the first part of it, but the rest was just escaping me.

And then this weekend it came back to me as I was eating lunch with him on Saturday...

It was during the week that Chris had Matthew leading up to Christmas, so I'd gone to the grocery store to stock up on easy-to-fix lunch and dinner items. One of these was a box of individual Mac'n'Cheese packets from Sam's Club.

Now, this is helpful when it comes to fixing lunch/dinner for Matthew, or even me, but for some strange reason, Chris does not like mac'n'cheese! I know. It's strange. I still can't wrap my head around it!

So here's how the moment went...

Me: (to Chris) Are you sure you don't want me to make you some?
Chris: No
Me: (to Chris) It's just so unnatural to not like mac'n'cheese!
Matthew: (walks up with puppy dog eyes and stands directly in front of me as I sit on the couch ) Well, who's your sweet little boy who loooooves mac'n'cheese???

And my sweet little boy had mac'n'cheese with his dinner.

Beware world...

I'm in a foul mood. I'd elaborate, but the damn UPS guy that we've been waiting for just got here (at 11:20 for a 10:30 delivery) and now the rest of my pissy-ass day can continue.

I'll just leave with two things people have told me...

"Don't sweat the small stuff. It's all small stuff."

and

"You can't fix stupid."

You decide which one is keeping me from snapping.
