Time management

Dear Wilson,
I just spent 70 dollars on gadgets to teach you about time...

When they come, I hope you will learn from them (because you sure as hell aren't learning anything from me right now) or I hope that in the mean time you will start listening to me again.

I am tired of counting to 5 to get your attention. And... when mommy asks you to stay on your bed for 15 minutes I don't want to wrestle you like a wild alligator to get you to stay there. That is not fun for either one of us. Trust me. There is nothing wrong with sitting for 15 minutes. NOTHING, especially when your mother is worn out and mentally exhausted. I realize that you are only two; however, you have done this many times before.

You really are quite lucky. I am calm (at least I think so) and laugh at your messes, and lately you have made many, MANY, messes.

Incase you don't learn from these gadgets I have added to my shopping cart a straight-jacket. Yes, you can actually buy them. It is for me, not you. Though one for you may not be a bad idea... I know that I will need the jacket and possibly some professional guidance soon as my mind is already heading towards becoming completely insane.

As for now...

For now, I am only partially insane and still love you. Please consider what your nap protesting is doing to my pregnant brain. It is good for no one.

Thank you,
Your mother
