Resource Intensive is probably my all-time favorite computer term because it works so well in my life. In computer-ese, it\u2019s a part of the computer that sucks all the power and needs the most attention. Funny, it means the same thing in mom-speak.<\/p>\n
Resource intensive is my normally easy going 3 year old when she has a cold. Her normal breakfast request is \u201cHoneycomb in a bowl and milk in a cup.\u201d Easy-peasy. This morning, after a being sick a while, it was \u201cI need waffle crisp cereal in a bowl with a handle so I can eat it on the couch, but not the yellow bowl. It has two handles. And I need milk in a cup with a lid, but not the Dora cup, the Spongebob cup. The blue one with the green lid.\u201d Nothing like knowing what you want is there?<\/p>\n
Later from the bathroom, I heard, \u201cMoooommmmmmyyyyyyy. I need you to wipe my boooootttttoooommmmm!.\u201d (I tell you, it\u2019s a glamorous life I lead.)Only to be told by the expert that I didn\u2019t wipe the poop right, I would need to do it again. Oh, and could I use the toilet paper from Daddy\u2019s bathroom? It\u2019s softer. (It\u2019s all the same brand. Sheesh.)<\/p>\n
The Principessa needed to get dressed and wanted her Cinderella shirt. I couldn\u2019t find the right one; the one I found had an itchy tag. So, I cut off the tag. Cue tears streaming down the face \u201cMommy, why did you break my shirt? I can\u2019t wear a broken shirt.\u201d Sob. Sob. Sniffle.<\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/p>\n
Right now, she\u2019s pouting in her father\u2019s chair because the episode of Angelina Ballerina on the TV is a rerun and her mean mother refuses to call the television station and ask them to put on a new one. \u201cYou could ask..\u201d Whine. Whine.<\/p>\n
Yes, she\u2019s become a monster and it will take me weeks to get her back to normal, but she\u2019s my monster.<\/p>\n
Unless\u2026<\/p>\n
Anybody want to buy a slightly used monster? I could make you a deal.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
