Wanna Trade??...Please

It is only round 2 day 2 of February's plethora of snow days. Mady only goes to Kindergarten for 2 hours and 20 minutes each day, but somehow those 2 hours and 20 minutes help keep me sane. Last week Mady was out of school for snow Tuesday through Friday. This week she went to school Monday and Tuesday but here's the deal: IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!! I must be a bad mother. I'd be willing to accept the fact that there are much better mothers out there than I.

This morning Mady was in her bedroom, in her bed bawling. The whole She-bang. Sobbing, snotting, heaving, boo-hooing. It was bad.

I ask her what is wrong.

Mady: "Nothing"
Me: "Ok, did you hurt yourself?"
Mady: "No!"
Me: "Can I do anything to help you?"
Mady: "No"
Me: "Mady! What on earth is wrong with you??"
Mady: "I don't want to go to the Li-brar-eeee."
I did not say this but of course I'm thinking...Seriously!?! You are bawling because you don't want to go to the library???
What I said was, "Gee whiz, we don't have to go to the library if you are that upset about it."
The bawling continued. She bawled about brushing her hair. She bawled about putting on her shoes. She bawled about not being able to reach the socks in her drawer. You name it, she cried about it.
Then she decided she really did want to go to the library and proceeded to check out several books.

I decided it would be easier to raise a 6 year old boy. I am proposing a trade...

Anybody??...Anybody??... Wanna Trade?? I don't blame you...
