Darby threatens to cover herself in silver glitter

It was late. It was 8pm. Bagel was still up (I was lazy let her sleep WAY late through her nap, in thus resulting in her up till 9 pm) we were in the Art Room working on Stamp Camp.

Bagel was sitting across from me at the big table, my papers, tools, stamps and accessories spread everywhere. Bagel has her own desk, and the t.v. room right next door. BUT NOOO she needed to sit and stare at me. While I banged my head for some sort of creativity.

Bagel also insisted on having Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Darby at the table, in a high pitched conversation. She insisted also that I play.

Bagel: "Mommy wanna be Darby?"

Me: "No. I'm thinking"

Bagel:" Mommy wanna be Darby?"

Me: "Nooooo. I will be angry mommy lacking creativity. You be Darby"

Bagel: Thinks... "Mommy wanna be Darby?"

Me: "No. But sure. Gimmie Darby."

As you can tell I was in a piss ass attitude, but I know that someday too soon she will not want me to play, so I took Darby.

Bagel: Grabs Minnie Mouse and says in the most high pitch voice ever "Hello Darby. How are you?"

Me: Wanting play time with Darby to be over, but I still found it to be a creative outlet, I picked up Darby and said "Well Minnie, my day has been crazy. I have to take care of two kids, with a wicked head cold, gagging and hacking all day, I peed my pants at least 5 times so far, and I still have a boat load of work to do for a class of 8 people in less then 24 hours. I wish I could go to bed. But I still have to cook Daddy dinner, put Bagel to bed, and wake Weaky and care for him. I think I will go stick my head in this big jar of silver glitter."

Bagel:"..." with a blank stare.

Bagel then holds out her hand and asks for Darby. She takes her toys and goes to the t.v. room to watch the Goodnight Show on Sprout.

Sorry kid. I needed a creative vent, and your Darby doll was it. It did help, and I did play, just not how you wanted. Thanks for the outlet.
