Mom, Can I have.....It's only......

How many times a day can one mother hear, Mom, can I have______It only cost__________??? Or Mom I want_________? I mean really!!! I now know exactly how my mom felt everytime we passed by one of those displays next to the case register, you know those impulse buy displays. And speaking of, who's brilliant idea was it to put it at kids eye level right where they knew us mothers (and fathers just to be fair) would be standing the longest. Face it gentlemen, you are usually there alone and are as bad as kids sometimes, Oh I can not live without that high powered, micro mag light that opens cans and skins a deer. But for mothers its, mom can I have candy, no you can't we are going to eat dinner soon, but I want it, so spit in one hand and wish in the other (just kidding but I have felt like saying that before). Every day when the kids come home, and no I'm really not exaggerating about this, ok, you got me almost every day the kids come home from school and they need money for something else. I just got off the phone with my daughter who now wants money for pictures at school for Valentines day with her and a friend. She is in 6th grade why do I want to buy pictures that are already overpriced of her and a friend who she won't be friends with next week. Oh I guess I'm being silly I remember being in 6th grade or wait maybe that was....oh never mind!! I just get so tired of being I wanted to death. Earlier today my eldest son just has to have his explorer uniform by Tuesday!!! That's over $170.00 for that. I'm not rich, let me rephrase that, I'm not no where near rich. I'm broke!! He's going to have to wait till next week sometime. Then my daughters school wants money for several different things plus she has 2 projects due and the youngest has projects to do also. All this and I'm trying to get a business started as well. Geez, do I look like I'm made of money (oh good grief I'm starting to sound like my mom). I'm going to leave you today with a picture of our female dog when we first got her in rescue, this is her super model pose . She reminds me of today when I'm thinking, "Just what do you want now
Can't you see I'm trying to sleep??
