A note about Mom

Today Mom packed the WORST lunch ever. Seriously, was I actually expected to eat a cinnamon raisin bagel, grapes, carrots with hummus, and blueberry yogurt???? Pitiful. So I was starving when she finally decided to get me. But did she immediately whisk me off to McDonald's for dinner? No! She had the nerve to ask me to wait patiently while she talked to Jenna's Mom. For a LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG time. Ugh. Then she said that since I ate only ice cream for dinner last night (true, but need we have brought that up) I had to have a healthy choice at home. How could I be expected to trust her to cook me dinner after a lunch like today??

I became weak with misery and could barely walk home. And it is officially TOO far to walk from where we have to park the car to the apartment. And she would not carry me. I cried the whole way out of school, into the car, through the drive home, and all the way into the apartment just to make sure it was clear to everyone how awful she was.

Ok, turned out dinner was fine, but let's fast-forward through that. And no mention of the fact that I got two treats afterwards for being in the Clean Plate Club. Not relevant.

She only gave me an hour to play with my LEGOs, which it should be noted I only got out of time-out tonight. And HOUR is not enough! I hadn't even begun my mega-ship masterpiece when she said it was time to clean up. Ignore ... always ignore whenever pressed for clean-up time. I vaguely recall her telling me, 5 more minutes, then 2 more minutes, then warning me it was about to get ugly. Ignore! Kids of America ... we must band together and ignore these completely unfair demands being placed upon us!!! Before I knew it she was cleaning up my LEGOs herself and putting them BACK IN TIME-OUT!!!

This is ridiculous. My Mom sucks and I want a new one. I am definitely NOT going to bed tonight -- EVER.

Sincerely,
Pip Balas
