I was by my step-sisters Gracie's house the other day,and we we're talking about Kids. She has a 3yr old boy and I have an 8 yr old daughter. So anyways she's tellin me that when it comes time for bed he just won't go to sleep!She tells him and takes him back into his room about 50 times a night. She showed me in some parenting magazine where some Dr. Lady says that.."if your child gives you a problem about going to bed that you should calmly and politely take them back into their room,as many times as is needed".

um.......HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO (knockin on Dr. Ladies head)Hey lady,do you even have kids???Who writes this stuff anyways?? I mean really!!

Gracie looks at me and says.."Why can;t they give me some usefull advice,like how to tie them up without leaving a rope burn"!! LMFAO...I lost it!!(c'mon people she was only joking..sheesh lighten up) I know the exact feeling she's talking about though. Hell I still fight with my kid on a daily basis to get to bed...and my sisters kid,OMG!!! Fuhget aboud it! That girl at the age of 12 is a regular ol nightowl(just like her mother.....LOL). Well to make a long story short the girls

* Beth.....mine.......age 8

* Anna.....sis' oldest.....age 12

*Mandy....sis' middle kid.....age 10

Did not want to go to bed last night at all. I get up this morning and sis is sitting in the front room with this evilass grin on her face. Ok now...for sis to get this evil look that means ~~Oh man this is gonna be good!! Sis and I are BSn over coffee about the girls and how they just dont want to go to sleep. Must be the "gettin ready to go back to school flu". Sis says....."That's ok, I got a little somethin planned for them. They wanna stay up till all hours of the night,they have so much energy. Ooohhh they're not gonna like me much after today but I GUARANTEE their asses will go to bed early tonight!!"and with a devlish grin on her face we went back to finishing our coffee. The baby(Gino)got his bath and all was well.

12pm.....ahhhh it's afternoon,sis tells Mandy to go wake up the other two(still sleeping off their late night).Mandy comes back down but there's no movement coming from the other 2. Out of nowhere sis transforms into "DRILL SGNT MOM"(it was really kewl,you should have seen the effects...lol). She marches up the steps........

stomp*stomp*stomp

telling me "WATCH THIS"!!

doors start flyin open........

GET UP .....GET UP.......GET UPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next thing ya know 2 puffyeyed1/2sleepwalkin girls come down the stairs Told to go into the kitchen where they have pancakes waiting for them. "Eat up girls" sis says"I'll give you's 15 minutes". Ok so the girls are in the kitchen,they've got to be thinking....."OK,wtf is goin on??" We got breakfast so all must be well. I ,in the meantime, am just waiting for the bomb to drop.......lmao. All is pretty much silent for about 20 minutes when sis gets up and goes into the kitchen...........

TEN-HUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME TO BOOT CAMP GIRLSSSSSS

you've had your fun and kicks and you've gotten off easy,now your asses are MINE!!!

*commence to cleaning*

2 we're sent upstairs,cuz their rooms alone were a battle. Beth(my daughter)was sentenced to polishing and picking up the front room(which wasn't too bad...seeing as how sis or I usually tackles this one). The funny part is.....as beth is picking up Gino's toys,as soon as she gets em up.....he's takin em out.....LMFAO!! Gotta love that boy! (he's 15 months btw)

"Ok,we're done" says the girls

*sis*....."oh youre done"......NEXT!!! Mandy the bathroom,Anna and Beth the kitchen. the 5 million dirty dishes that we have because none of you's know how to rinse out a dam glass,but instead just say......Oh we'll just get another one!! The floor,that seems to get covered in sugar daily cuz noone knows how to clean up a mess. How about the stained red counter tops..because you can't seem to make the glass for the life of you when pouring cherry kool-aid!! Anna and Beth(the smartasses that they are)decide to make a little game outta it. Laughin,gigglin.....probably thinkin..."hmmmmmf We'll show them".

*sis* Oh you're done already???

NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BASEMENT!!!! All those clothes down there that you never even attempted to put on your asses,oh but theyre dirty right?? I mean as soon as the clothes hit the air outside of the dresser drawer theyre dirty right???RIGHT!!!!

Oh and you two(piercing evil glare at Anna n Beth)

you's two get ...........THE SINK!!!!(pointing over to dark murky corner)

Anna and Beth**eyes filled with horror**

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo

NOT THE SINK!!!!!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Oh yah "the sink". You know the stationary tub by the washing machine. The one used for all the unsightly things you just can't use a kitchen sink for.....hehee. She hands them the scrubby brushes and theyre off.

**motherly speech follows**

" If you girls have so much energy that it keeps you up most of the night,then bygod I say we use it for good and not evil!! Afterall why should we(pointing at me n herself)have all the fun????

Ok by now we've got full blown attitude brewin up in this bitch......LOL. Someone should tell kids that no matter what kind of attitude they come up with,multiply it by 10 and you have a "Parents Attitude"!!

All of a sudden a spider(ewwwwwwwwwww)shows up. My niece FREAKS!!! lmfao......I can sympathize,cuz I I myself canNOT handle spiders. However I had to bust out laughin cuz it was just so damned funny to see her jump n scream like that.....

Well they're starting to show signs of weakness now. I doubt they stay up past 10 pm tonight.

~ disclaimer ~

Trust me folks,these girls didn't do anything but use the good 'ol elbow grease that God gave them. Some people will probably say this was harsh(with their snootyass high almighty noses up in the air). I say...it sure as hell beats the Ass Whoopins we used to get as kids!!

Hell hath no fury like a Mother scorned,with a list of chores!!!! So much for makin it short n sweet...lol...thanks for stickin around.
