Cheerios!

I should really call this post "Freakin' Cheerios"!!!

My kids loved Cheerios when they were little and apparently my teenage daughter still does!

The only thing is that when they were little, the cereal pieces tended to more or less stay with the child. I always found Cheerios tucked in the folds of their clothes or stuck in their chair...easy enough to clean up.

Now....oh boy...NOW!...I find them all over the place!!! It is like my daughter leaves a trail wherever she goes! On the table, under the table, down the hall, in the living room, in MY bedroom, in her bedroom, under furniture, in the furniture!!! The cats also like to play hockey with them!!!

It is driving my crazy!!!!!!!

Fail!

Apparently I am failing as a Mom...

Every time I make a mistake which embarrasses my teenage daughter, she announces "fail"!

For example, while paying for my purchases the other day, I whipped out my credit card and slid it through the machine. It would not accept my card. After trying a couple of times, the cashier said she would try through the cash register. After sliding the it through, she looks down at my card and hands it back to me.

"We can't accept grocery cards" she announces.

I look down at my card and realize I had handed her my supermarket rewards card instead of my credit card.

"Fail!" announces my daughter.

Arriving home, she can't wait to share the story with her brother.

"Fail!" she announces again.

"You know, that's not good for my self esteem!" I retort.

So I had a Mommy moment at the store. So I embarrassed her (yet again).

"It's all your fault anyway. The both of you are sucking my brain cells right out of my head!" I tell them!

Then again, maybe I am passing as a Mom. Don't teenagers think everything their parents do is embarrassing?!!!!
