It's not fair

So it seems that my baby girls has learned a valuable lesson in life already. It is not fair! So what you may ask is it that is so unfair, let me share (from Mackenzie tonight)

1. It is not fair that I won't let her eat cereal for dinner tonight
2. It is not fair that I won't let her try to make Turner laugh (even though it was making him scream at the top of his lungs)
3. It is not fair that I will not let her sleep in my bed tonight
4. It is not fair that I woke her up this morning while she was still sleeping.
5. It is not fair that she had to go to school when she was still tired
6. It is not fair that she cannot go to the park because Turner doesn't feel good

So, me being the calm mother that I am respond in the only way that seemed fitting...

1. It is not fair that I had to go to work today even though I wanted to stay at home.
2. It is not fair that you are mad at me even though I'm doing the best that I can
Sorry sweetie, but there are so many things that are unfair, you just have to learn to deal with it.

Well I didn't really think that this would be a pre-K lesson in the first week, but I'm sure this will be one to revisit over and over throughout the years! lol

BTW - Mackenzie LOVES school. She says it is "even more fun than going to Nany's all day". Whew, I guess I did make a good choice. I love to pick her up everyday and hear the detailed version of everything that they did. Now tomorrow I have to send my sister off to her first day of school. That will be fun, seems like just yesterday i was moving in to my college dorm, wow what a different life I have now. I love to kid her about how much her life could change in the next couple years too! All for the better of course.

Well, Aaron got to be out at happy hour and softball tonight while I was in the midst of laundry, dishes, sick fussy kids, and I've only had the 3 minutes of writing this post to myself tonight - but hey, no one said life is fair! lol So nigh night - mommy bear is tired.
