Not That She's Counting

Today, the Matron took a keen, arm-length's look at her 12 year old son--who is currently modeling the popular and appealing combination of ringworm and warts -- as he sat in clutter of his own creation, beside the milk carton he is incapable of putting away, while informing his mother of just how little she knew about, well, about everything.

Given her children's age range, she realized, at this pivotal and life-altering moment, that, starting on July 17th, 2009, she will be living with teenagers for 15 consecutive years. And six months.

I'll see your 15 and raise it 4. I assume after the first 5 years, you don't even notice.

Oh, and rub Vitamin A into the warts. It works after a few weeks.

*FEAR*

I am happy that I will only have one for the 7 years that I have to deal with. THAT IS PLENTY!

Yikes!

May the force be with you.

Not that anyone's counting . . .

I'll have 17.

Mary Alice will be praying for you. When Mary Alice did her family UN-planning and had three children in under four years, people thought she was an idiot...now....however, Mary Alice is ripping the teen years off with all three of them together like a big giant band aid.

Oh, God...you need lots of blessings and adult beverages. Just ONE teen is wearing me out.

I'm so sorry.

I just keep concentrating on the fact that I will only be 48 when my youngest turns 18. Oh, yeah!

Irene said...

Woe is you. Did you plan it that way or was it accidental?

Vallen said...

It's those six months that might put you over the edge. And everybody thought I was nuts having my two just a year apart.
We'll help all that we can.

OH.LORD.

Do you have the proper amount/types of prescriptive medicines? Get THEE to a doctor, woman!

To make this post even better (in her mind) the Matron realized last night that she did the math wrong. Just 13 years. But, still!
