We go to Tiger Scouts twice a month. These boys are 5-6 years old. Its really quite funny because sometime during the meeting one of the boys will have a meltdown. Now sometimes I'm surprised at how the mom just lets the kid throw a tantrum or sit in the corner with a scowl on his face refusing to participate. I don't think a kid has to be ( Read more... )

I can say that right now beause I think my hormone haze is lifting. I really hate being such a rotten person when I PMS hard. I only do it every 3-4 months but this month was a doozy. A stupid McDonald's toy makes me cry. Like they really place it there to make my life miserable??? They are kids for crying out loud. There seriously needs to ( Read more... )

I just wrote a really long post. It felt really good to write and read it. Then I thought, I don't care if anyone knows this stuff. I don't care if anyone approves. I don't care if anyone disapproves. I don't care. So I deleted it. I needed to talk to someone I guess. I needed to talk to me. To get it out of my head. I really like that. I ( Read more... )

My oldest told me I had a fat s today. I nearly killed him and I could see in his eyes he was perplexed about why I had steam coming out my ears. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Which. Took. Great. Fortitude. Ugh ( Read more... )

Troy spent all day yesterday on a front loader/bobcat tearing up dead trees and shrubs. Today he's starting the fence around our property. He's so cute. He's having so much fun. The kids are helping him by dragging stuff to the burn pit. Nathan actually got to use the chainsaw (with supervision). They are preparing the back acreage for cows. ( Read more... )

Haven't checked in in a while, not that anyone cares. *smile* But I enjoy rereading my journal myself and seeing what others are up to. Christmas was good. The kids have been sick the last week. I went 3 days with little to no sleep taking care of them. I'm so happy to be getting good sleep again except I woke up a couple times last night ( Read more... )

I would so be an excellent candidate for the show "What Not To Wear." I'm down to 2 shirts that don't have snags or stains. I am currently wearing the gorgeous lime green sweater my mom bought me from Target complete with red wine splatter. My uniform is consistent with the long term stay-at-home-mom of little kids desperate active wear. I ( Read more... )

I hate being tired. Although I'm not suffering from insomnia anymore my sleep schedule is all screwed up. I'm trying to fix that by getting up earlier so I can get to bed earlier. I have no patience when I'm tired. The kids have been bouncing off the walls (you'd think Christmas is this week), we did some reading and I feel like I've done nothing ( Read more... )

Well, I think I blew things out of proportion. Troy & I are doing so much better. I think its just one of those things that we had to hash out to get to an understanding ( Read more... )
