So so tired

[ailbhe]

Well, today I was a harridan.

Linnea said "I want a mean mummy."

"Am I not a mean mummy? I was very cross today."

"No," sadly, "you're a good mummy."

"Oh! Well, why do you want a mean mummy?"

"Because she'd let me be naughty."

I am engaged in the complicated process of sweeping up and filtering from the floor-sweepings about two tablespoonsful of small flower-shaped glitter pieces, parts of a make-your-own-snowglobe set with a dora the Explorer theme Linnea received for her birthday.

I can't decide whether I'm demented or devoted.

But I do know that I used to apply this level of dedication (Rob's word, excellent choice!) to work I hated, so perhaps doing it for people I love to raise is a good thing.

Anyway, using a paintbrush to sort through floor sweepings is kind of peaceful.

You maybe need to explain to Linnea that mean mummies are angry at their children when they haven't even done anything wrong. It's careless mummies who let their children be naughty :-).

I think you're right, if you're the type to take such pains, better you do it for your children than RandomFacelessCorp.
