Good Start June 3, 2008

Yep, I am still here.  And, doing much better than yesterday.  I am pretty sure any SAHM has felt like I did yesterday.  I am sure those who go out in the world to work, feel the same way on some days.  You live through it, get a good nights sleep and wake up refreshed.

I am working on new ways to help Emma not be whinny and discontented throughout the day.  This morning when she wasn’t allowed to have a Tim Bit before breakfast and she started to cry, I calmy explained why to her and then asked her to go to her bed if she wanted to continue to cry and be upset.  It didnt’ take her long and she was back out with us in the kitchen.  This happened a couple of times this morning; where she had to go back and forth to bedroom to compose herself.  But, she is happier and so am I.  We are off to a good start….and they are both ‘napping’ right now and I have some time to myself…yeah.

 

What Are We Thinking? June 1, 2008

We are getting ready to head out the door in a couple of minutes.  I am not too sure how well this supper will turn out.  Thankfully it is just to Boston Pizza and not some super fancy place where the kids will cause a huge scene.  As it is, they will probably cause just a little bit of a scene. 

About a month ago, Hannah started having tantrums in restaurants.  This hasn’t been fun at all.  We shovel our food in as fast as we can, and take what we can’t eat home.  Eventually we throw it away because our appitites have been lost.  I dont’ know why we said we would go out.  I just figured we would wait a few months until all the crying and screaming was over with before we ventured out in public with the toddlers.  Hmm.  I will have to let you know how well it goes…but I might just take an Ativan now and help along the night where I can.
