Tomorrow, I may have to bust out some dance moves and hang out with this guy:
"Snowmageddon 2011" hit us hard. Snowed in for two full days. No school for an entire week. Too cold to play outdoors. Parking lots so slippery that we'd have to risk bodily harm just to run an errand or two. So after eight straight days of very close indoor togetherness, it is finally time for Amelia to go back to school!
I remember how thrilled I was when she first said "mommy".
Today, I can barely handle one more "hey Mommy".
"Hey Mommy - I need a snack."
"Hey Mommy - I need help."
"Hey Mommy - I want some Play-Doh."
"Hey Mommy - I have poo-poo."
"Hey Mommy - I want a different snack."
"Hey Mommy - I want to watch a show."
"Hey Mommy - I want some lemonade."
Every 5-9 minutes, it's another "hey Mommy." Even when Daddy or other people are around, it's still "hey Mommy." Apparently I have some kind of magical power over the fridge, pantry, and television. And the toilet too.
Don't get me wrong, I love my girl. She makes me laugh and keeps me on my toes. But I am getting desperate for alone time. And it's bad. It is the pull-my-hair-out, silently-screaming-inside-my-own-brain kind of desperate.
It's time for us to have some space!

Oh we had snow days every day last week and a holiday today. I would say I can't wait for alone time but she is home 30 min before me.
I feel exactly the same way with my 5-year-old; for her, a snack tastes better if I give it to her, the TV is more magical and Dora better when I turn on the TV, and of course, my magic works over the toilet too.
