This Is A Test

It is only a Test.
This test is brought to you by the Emergency Mother Association (EMA)

There is no need to panic or head for the hills.
Your oldest daughter is running a low grade fever
She must abstain from attending school today.
Your son refuses to watch another DVD
His eyes are square
Aforementioned offspring get along like the Hatfield's and McCoy's
You still cannot locate a full time baby sitter
It is too cold and wet for them to play outside
Nor can you lock them out of the house
You have voluntarily chosen to give up sugar
in an attempt to lose the stress fat gained last year.

Dixie Dog is one big furry muddy mess
Husband person gets to go to work (creep)
Away from the house (i hate him)
He did offer to bring home dinner
We may forgive him.

This has just been a test.

If this had been an actual emergency, the EMA would have done an immediate air drop of Calgon, red wine, dark chocolate, a masseuse, Nanny McPhee, and a five- course home cooked meal.

This concludes this test of the Emergency Mother Network.

Retaining your humor when things are hellacious is the key to survival!

Here's to:
1. the husband coming home with a full meal that will feed the bellies of all offspring,
2. a babysitter who rivals Mary Poppins falling into your life asap
3. dark chocolate that doesn't have an gram of sugar in it
4. the ability to lose and gain weight by merely twitching your nose.

Girls - there are those times - we all know them - when if we don't laugh, we WILL cry.
laughter was the choice today.
with a hint of sarcasm thrown in for good measure.

*sigh*

If you weren't so far away, I'd hire on as your part-time nanny.

I'm sorta looking for something more to do than DNA testing the first week of the month and the salon 7 or 8 hours a week.

But the Alabama to Texas commute would be a bit much! :0

Hang in there, doll! :)

But she must be treated gently. Under that gruff, take no prisoners exterior beats the heart of a real softy.
