Dear Missy Hoohaw,
I know you don't understand this yet, but when you sneak out of bed, I can hear you. You're not exactly stealthy yet, honey. And when you run back and jump into bed? I can totally see you. Also, you're not fooling me by shutting your eyes, opening them and sitting up to stretch. Not even when you fake-yawn and say, "That was a good rest, mama."
Mommy's not laughing at you. I promise. I'm just laughing near you. And dreading your teen years.

Welcome to My World
It's a crazy one. Here's the guide.
Mr. Clairol: My darling husband and love of my life. He's a mechanic, dyes his hair platinum blond and drives to work on a Vespa. I swear he isn't gay.
Drama Queen: My fourteen year old daughter who is frighteningly brilliant and gorgeous to boot. Of course, I am her mother.
Missy Hoohaw: The four year old daughter. She loves animals and roughhousing and earned her name by being a 28 year old Marine in a preschooler's body. No, she doesn't swear and drink. But she can run twenty miles in the rain and give a mighty Hoo-rah.
Big Red: Our toddler son, who is redheaded and proud of it. He's got a healthy temper and the sweetest smile this side of the Mississippi, so it evens out. I was worried about defending him from his sisters at first. Now, I worry about the girls.
The Beast: Our dog, who is a mutt, heavy on the Great Dane. He's named after a heavy metal guitarist in my husband's all time favorite band. This says it all, believe me.
This is my life. Try not to be too jealous.

Oh boy! You are in for one heck of a ride!!
P.S. I have no doubt that you WILL prevail with Missy Hoohaw, however!
Ah...kids. This morning, Cakes opened my bedroom door and crawled in on her hands and knees. She thought I was asleep, but I was watching her with one eye open. She crawled very carefully along the floor, over to my nightstand, and her little hand reached up to gingerly take my glasses, which were sitting on top of the alarm clock (she likes to wear them for dress-up).
I said "What are you doing!" in a very loud, booming voice, and I swear she almost hit the ceiling. She really thought she was going to get away with it. Little thief.
