He Will Be in Time Out Forever

I have been doing all that I can to keep our food budget under control.  I'm like some sort of crazy person at the grocery store checking what costs more per ounce, what's on special, buying in bulk, ect.

Well, today I was clipping coupons when Jack woke and wanted lunch.  I had already cut up two hot dogs for him in case he needed to eat them in the car on the way to pick up his sister.  He immediately took the container and emptied it on the floor.  Even shaking it for effect.  I went blind with rage.

Here I was clipping coupons and planning our 47th chicken meal in a row to save money on food and he is just throwing food away.  Well he is in time out until I feel like I can let him out and not kill him.  I am also hard pressed to make another lunch for him, so that he can throw that on the floor too.

Oh that boy is driving me crazy, crazy, crazy.

I can picture it! My kids would totally shake the bowl, too.

Does it help that it sounds a little bit funny?!?

At least it was just hot dogs...

Eh... no way would I have made another lunch. I would have picked it up off the floor... ran it under water and made him (or her in my case) eat it anyway. hehehe

My, you have given my a great laugh. "Shaking it for effect." I know your pain well... I'm afraid.

Thank goodness you could come and blog about it without shaking "him" for effect.

Oh it's nice to visit a blog where someone else admits to motherly aggravation, so glad I stopped by this place, haha!

Many years ago one of my children did the same thing. "Back in the day" we just let the kids eat off the floor - just kidding, sort of.
