Mom Pet Peeves--in Random Order

Don't you just hate...
...how the moment your food arrives in a restaurant, your preschooler announces that she needs to go potty--even though you asked her just moments before if she needed to go.
...when your toddler refuses to nap while the older child is at preschool--until, of course, it's exactly 15 minutes before you need to leave to pick the older child up.
...that your toddler will fall asleep anytime you're in the car--even if you're only two miles away from your destination--and will be grumpy that you woke her up upon arrival.
...when other people (grandparents, Sunday school teachers, etc.) give your kids sugar and then send them home with you.
...tattling (enough said).

But don't you just love...
...when you and your preschooler have your own personal "opera" time, when you both sing everything instead of saying it (are we the only ones who do this?).
...that the toddler can't stop blowing kisses because it's her new favorite skill.
...how sometimes Mama is the only one in the whole world who can make everything all better.

I wish I could hear the opera that y'all sing!
