Trying to cut the cord, but it's just too hard.
Today Sarah and Nicholas went to Kennywood with the band. For the whole day. Not that I mind so much. It's just that it is really hot out and you know, I worry. So this morning I went through the whole spiel about making sure they drink water all day because dehydration is no laughing matter. I know I went over all of this last night so I probably deserved the eye rolling, but I can't help it.
I was about to start going over everything one last time when my children volunteered:
Yes, we charged our phones. Yes, we have money for food and water. Yes, we have hats. (There is a 67 percent chance of rain today at Kennywood and they refused to bring rain ponchos.)
Fine. I get it. I watched them drive out of the driveway feeling a pang of sadness. I decided I'd run out to wave goodbye. On my way to the garage door I saw they had forgotten something. "Wait," I yelled running after them.
More eye rolling as my daughter informed me that she had grabbed a different hat. "That's fine," I told her. "But you'll need your band shoes," I replied smugly as I handed them to her. Ahhh, it's nice to know my children still need me.

Of course, they probably forgot the shoes because you were blocking their view asking if they had hats.
Don't you love being a mom. I can't wait until they are parents then they'll finally see how hard and fun it is!
