A Note to my Kids

Dear Sweet Kids of Mine, 

I love you more than anything, but today is Saturday.  That means that the Cobb Family Complaint Department is officially closed.  If you are convinced that life isn't fair and you don't like what's for breakfast, don't want to make your bed, can't find your favorite article of clothing, or don't like your seat in the car, please deal with it....QUIETLY! 

Please address all inquiries regarding how many more bites you have to eat, when that article of clothing might be clean, if you can watch cartoons, or why you have to take a nap to our Saturday relief staff.  His name is Daddy. 

Should you need a referee for a fight with your sister, be aware that 24 hour advanced, written notice is required.  Please plan accordingly.  You may be required to postpone your fight.

The Complaint Department will re-open first thing tomorrow morning to manage all crisis related to Sunday morning grooming.

Thanks for your understanding.

With all my love,

Mommy
Chief Compaint Officer
Cobb Family Complaint Department

P.S.   I am keenly aware that without the three of you, I would be miserably unemployed.  And, don't forget that while the Complaint Department is closed on Saturdays, the snuggling, game playing, book reading and ice cream eating departments remain open for business.
