That’s how long I have until the terrible twos are officially over.\u00a0 Pray that they end sooner than that because, I really don’t know if we’ll make it.<\/p>\n
I did have some relief yesterday after our horrifying excursion to the Green Hills Mall.\u00a0 My mom is visiting and she likes to shop.\u00a0 A lot.\u00a0For those of you non-Nashvillians, let me just sum up the Green Hills Mall by saying it is the complete antithesis of Wal-Mart and has the exact adverse reaction on me. The sheer smell of the wealthy, botox injected freaks makes me undeniably nervous and grumpy.\u00a0 Some days I can enjoy it for all that it is and isn’t – some days I am mature enough to consider it all as good material for the art that I will one day make again.\u00a0 Yesterday, though, was not one of those days.\u00a0 Apparently, it was Uberbitch day and my two year old was not welcomed.\u00a0 Nor was I for that matter, but I have gotten used to that – I don’t look the green hills mall part and I’m pretty sure I hadn’t washed my hair that day.. A big no no.\u00a0 It was just a ridiculously awful day and I wasn’t in the mood for anything even remotely challenging.<\/p>\n
So, anyway, my relief came when we arrived home and my mom pulled out The Little Mermaid that she had bought my daughter the night before at Target (did I mention that she like to shop?).\u00a0 Much to my chagrin (I have a thing with the Disney princesses.. I’d kick all of their whiney, drippy, overly accentuated asses if only given the chance) – my daughter was thrilled.\u00a0 But it didn’t last long.. no no no.. It didn’t last long.\u00a0 Within ten minutes she was begging (begging!) me to take it off saying “hate mrrrmaid.. hate mrrrmaid!”.\u00a0 I still can’t figure out what upset her about it, but all she had to do was ask once.\u00a0 My grin was ear to ear the rest of the night.\u00a0 Of course, my mom was miffed.\u00a0 She can’t understand why I can’t just let the kids have all the candy and television\/movies that they want.\u00a0 She thinks I am slighting them because I want them to think a little higher up the food chain than I was taught to.\u00a0 Poo, I say.\u00a0 She hates Ariel, all on her own!\u00a0 I had nothing to do with that.\u00a0 Of course, she writes it off to early brainwashing – basically, I may as well have removed her uterus as far as my mom is concerned.\u00a0 GASP! What kind of girl doesn’t adore the Disney Princesses?\u00a0 Mine.\u00a0 mine mine mine….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
