Look A Little Harder Next Time December 14, 2008
I know I take things too personally. I could guess a thousand reasons why this is so, but that is another therapy session all on it’s own. So, yesterday S couldn’t find the remote control. H had passed him the back off it as he was going out to start the car, but he didn’t think to ask her where the rest of it was. He forgot. It wasn’t that important at the time – there was no hockey game starting that needed to be recorded!!!!
So there he was 10 hours later…sternly talking to H (she’s 2) and with holding her milk until she tells him where the rest of the remote is!!! WTF!!! You can’t do that to a baby. I was so mad. He stormed around the house. He was sharp with me and the girls. It was not fun at all. He made wide sweeping comments about how he ‘hates this’. Again, this is where I take things too personally…hates what….me, the house, our life, our children…..and yes, I am hormonal so please be patient with me. I should also mention, S survived a day at the water park with H and E by himself on 3 hours sleep…so he had reached him limit too.
The whole converstaion was horrible. It wasn’t loud or anything. I just felt really bad that he ‘hated this’ and I don’t really know what ‘this’ is. I have a wild, vivid imagination, and I can make horrible assumptions and this is what I do most of the time. He apologised to me and to the girls, especially H. He never did find the remote control. His hockey game taped downstairs, so nothing was really lost. I found the remote under one of the chairs in the living room this morning. If had of looked a little harder he would have found it himself last night, and the whole ugly mess that was, wouldn’t have happened at all….and I wouldn’t have had to take things so personally.
Sweet Sounds December 8, 2008
Our Christmas tree is up. The house is decorated. All the lights, but one is off in the house. Everything is silent except for my typing. There is noise outside. The man across the street is using his tractor to clean our roads and remove ice. He`s a nice man!
I can`t believe it is 7 am and the girls aren`t up yet. Maybe something is wrogn…maybe I am too happy to check! I love the peace and quiet so much, especially since it is so rate in this house.
Last night I ran a bath. E was in bed. H was up with S. He was tickling her and she had uncomtrolable giggles. There were sweet sounds in the house. I love those sounds. I wish I heard them more than the screaming and whinning. I know it will come in time. It just feels like time is standing still some days….and not really flying by.
2…and counting December 1, 2008
My littlest baby is now 2 – yesterday was her bithday. I can’t believe she is 2 already…although, the last couple of years of sleep deprivation some times feels like 40! My time with H has been both up and down…although there have been way more up times. She screamed alot as a new born. I was pretty much wrecked after the 3rd month of her constant screaming. I still am a little gun shy when I hear a baby wailing. Now though, she is a joy to have. She is full of giggles and cuddles. She is beautiful and smart and I am so very blessed to be her mommy.
Burned Up November 20, 2008
So, I was cooking in the kitchen…and I mean I was really cooking in the kitchen, not ‘cooking’ in the kitchen…when I was burnt very badly on my left wrist. Apparently, I heated up the pan very well…so well, that when I went to add the beef for my beef and broccoli, hot oil spat all over my arm and has left me very damaged. I can hardly type…I am hurting so badly. Thank goodness I fell and hurt my ass last week – I actually have some pain meds left and hopefully I will dose myself well enough to dull the searing pain in my arm enough that I can pass out and sleep some of this off.
Sorry hubby, no arm action for awhile…..
Tub Troubles November 12, 2008
Warning – if getting romantic in the shower with your loved one – MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD FOOTING…. or you may end up with a sore ass…….trust me.
I took a fall in the shower the other day and spent the better part of yesterday laying on my back, having x-rays taken to make sure my tail bone wasn`t broke….lets just say, my tail didn`t get boned, and isn`t broke. Thankfully!
You should also be warry of children playing with bath bubbles. Bubbles can make a slick surface of your tub. Lets say your child is just playing in the bathroom and decides it would be fun to dump an entire bottle of Disney princess bath bubbles into the tub, even though there is no water. Then lets say, you hop into the shower and really, aren`t paying that much attention to your surroundings….you happily notice that there are no small toys in the tub – you believe you are being observant enough – you are so wrong. When you `hop` in, you really are shooting your self around the tub like a silver ball rocketed into a pinball machine. It isn`t a pretty site – trust me, I know.
There are many dangers lurking in your bathroom. Your children and your spouse are just 2 potential hazards you should be aware of – don`t let your guard down.
OBAMA-NATION November 5, 2008
Ding dong the witch republicans are dead,
wicked old witch republicans,
nasty old witch republicans
Ding dong the wicked old witch republicans are dead
Wake up you sleepy head,
rub your eyes, get out of bed,
Ding dong the wicked witch is dead!
It is time for an OBAMA-NATION!!!
Too HOT To Handle November 3, 2008
My husband is ‘hot’ or so that is what he keeps getting told at work. Of course, I have always thought this – was the first thing that drew me to him when I was 13! He hasn’t always known this about himself though and it is cute, funny and a little scarey to see his ego inflate.
S started working part time at a lounge bouncing. He works 3 nights a week and he loves. He loves that his really good friend works there too. He loves the extra cash it brings in to help pay off our debts. Of course, I had some huge reservations about him working in a lounge. Come on – people do that when they are 20, not married men with children right? So pretty much, I have an insane amount of insecurities…which aren’t helped by the fact, that I am a SAHM who’s best friend is a 3 year old (the 2 year old doesn’t have full conversations yet)! How interesting am I any more, especially compared to that all the women he is meeting now, and who think he is hot!
I hate this. I did’t sign up for a marriage like this. I want to go back to having my husband home, and hot only in my eyes.
Tricks For Treats? November 2, 2008
Why is it that as a full grown, adult women it is almost impossible to find a Halloween costume that is not super slutty? Why can’t I just buy a witch costum that is normal and not so my breasts are pushed up and out and the skirt barely covers my reproductive bits and pieces? And really, I have had 2 kids so everyone knows I put out – but when did Halloween become so sleezy?
I was pretty pathetic this year due to the lack of wanting to show my T&A. I wore black pants, my red hoodie and I stole E’s lady bug wings from her dress up trunk! I know, I stole my kids dress up stuff, I am pathetic. Our dog was dressed up better than I was – she was a witch…and all her little nipples weren’t pushed out and up, exposing her abundant cleavage. Oh to be a dog…wait, sometimes I am a bitch, and I guess that counts!
Handi Points – Chore Charts and More! October 26, 2008
So, I admit it, I love watching Nanny 911. I love knowing that there are worse parents out there than me. Apparently I am a slow learner though – I can’t seem to make my children perfect, even after years of watching said show. One of the common tricks I see on a regular basis however, is the chore chart. Tonight, as I was cruising in the blogosphere, I came upon Mommy Points - a site where parents can create chore charts for their children and where children can update, maintain and earn points towards rewards from said chore charts. In my house the wee ones are too young to read a chart (and I am not crafty enough to make fancy picture magnet thingys) and the old one just won’t humour me. I don’t know if I will ever use a chore chart in the future, but on tv it does seem to work – but so does that spray on hair for men! I find it challenging enough keeping my family calendar up dated each month. I seriously have to put aside the entire morning on the first day of every month and make sure all my stickers are on the right days and everything is noted (yes, I am anal like that). I really don’t have the inclination to dedicate more time to creating a system to complete chores when I can scream pretty loud and have an evil eye that makes my family move fast and clean hard!
