I don't ususally read the comics, but there wasn't much interesting in our crummy paper today, so I found myself on the comics page after just a few minutes with my morning coffee. The one on the very top was For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston - the comic my mom swears mirrors my life. I have never actually been that amused by or really related that much to what Ms. Johnston has illustrated, but today I did big time, and here's why: every morning my little boys walk in to my room and state:
"It's time to get up Mommy, it's a bright sunny day (although usually it is NOT a bright sunny day - the sun hasn't even come up yet!). We need to go get some cereal (hereal to E). T is awake and he wants you go give him some milk. We're gonna be late for school!" (He doesn't even go to school until 1pm!)Now just a minute, I think, who is the parent here - and why won't you let me sleep!!!??? I think what irks me the most is the utter chipperness in their voices. I can't obtain such cheeriness until after a few cups of coffee and a shower. How do they do it? And, why is my mom always right?

Awww...so cute! Even though it is probably WAY too chipper for first thing in the morning. Glad they have a happy outlook though, right?
