I am doing a segment this morning with some other mom bloggers on Fox News. So here is an oldie but goodie.

On Saturday I was trying to convince NoahNoah aka: Mac Daddy
Age: 12
"Special" Qualities: Holds a grudge for longer than you can remember the offense. Talks nonstop
Best Qualities: Wakes up with a smile every day and walks to the beat of his own drum. to get outside and practice lacrosse.  He had tryouts on Sunday, has been super focused on football and has not picked up his lacrosse stick in months.  

"I'll be fine mom," was his response.  That drives me crazy.  Even if you are just THAT good, show some respect for the tryout and spend at least one minute acting like you care. 

In my most annoying mom voice I said,  "Noah, you need to get outside and feel your stick and get your groove on for tomorrow."

He hasn't been able to look at me since.  Hell, I can't even look at myself.
