I'm a Brat... and some other happenings

Last night, I was making a mini scrapbook for a nice couple who sent Coco a Christmas present. After a little while, I went to the kitchen for a nice cold iced coke... only to find out we were out. I knew Brian had drank the last one, so I went and asked him if he bought some more, since he was the one who finished the coke. Of course, he didn't. I already knew this, since he didn't leave the house after dinner. It was sort of a passive-aggressive trick I was trying to use on him, but of course, it didn't work. Brian HATES the passive-aggressive approach. He will always tell me he needs me to tell him exactly what I expect or want him to do.

Anyways, I went back to my little office, and kept working. After a while, I decided to go to bed. As I started going upstairs, I stopped and hand had this nagginsation (conversation mixed in with the nagging element) with Brian, as he read on the couch:
Me: "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a glass filled with ice and coke right beside my bed, on my night stand".
Brian (rolling his eyes at me): "Nag, nag, nag!"
Me (with a condescending smile): "Well, don't ever again tell me to tell you clearly what I want if you are not willing to DO what I want". And then I went to bed.

What do I find this morning besides my bed???

And Brian's question when he wakes up? "Was there still ice in the cooler? I put some ice packs in the compartment to keep the ice from melting"

I AM SUCH A SPOILED, SPOILED BRAT!!!! I AM SOOOOO SPOILED BY MY DEAR LORD, WHO GAVE ME THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!! I LOVE YOU, SWEET LORD!!!! AND I LOVE YOU BRIAN!!!!!

Now, if you ever hear me complain about my dear hubby, please knock me back into my senses!

And then, the "other happenings":

Connor woke up at 5 (as usual), and we both came downstairs to have milk, cereal and yogurt, like we do everyday. Then, we sat down to watch cartoons together. Then, right around 8, Sponge Bob came on. That is the family's favorite cartoon, so, Connor and I were excited to watch. After a good 15 minutes, though, I realized that Connor wasn't sitting on the floor with his toys anymore, and I also realized that everything was very quiet. Too quiet.

So, I went looking for him in the kitchen, and this is what I found...




Oh, yeah! Did I say before that we are trying to sell this house???

Good thing we had already decided to put new floor and carpet. Now, the range will just have to get some elbow grease, that's all. It's great to have your kids help you decorate when you want to stage a house...
