Why Animals Eat Their Young

This morning I finally know the true reasons animals eat their young.  I’ve had a general idea prior today, however it’s been confirmed.

No one wanted to get up this morning. Not that I blame them for that. Heck, I didn’t want to get up either.  It took me 20 minutes to get Sophie up and 30 to get Emma up.

Every night I have the kids lay out their clothes to make mornings a bit smoother. Well this morning Sophie absolutely was not going to wear what she had laid out and of course swore in her most dramatic fashion that she simply had nothing else to wear.

Emma comes out with enough eyeliner on for 3 people. It was so thick you could barley see her eyes. She looked like a raccoon.

I finally got Sophie to get dressed, hair brushed, teeth brushed with 5 minutes to spare before the bus got here.

I had Emma take off some of that eyeliner so she didn’t resemble an animal.

This morning was a lot of crying on Sophie’s behalf and I lot of hair pulling on my behalf. I’m surprised I’m not bald.

They’ve both earned 30 minutes earlier bedtime for tonight. So Sophie will be going to bed at 7:00 and Emma at 8:30. Here’s to hoping for a better tomorrow.
