First Day of School...

This has been one long day...

What a start we had today. Getting ready for work as usual,then making sure J is awake and getting ready on her first day of school. Everything is fine and dandy until I tell her she needs to come up and get something to eat. She then proceeds to tell me that she is getting a ride to school with the neighbor boy and his mother. She never asked me. She never mentioned it to me. Apparently she mentioned it to Dad a few minutes earlier, but he didn't approve either.

21 months...

Where does the time go...?

It has been 21 months since my little girl joined our family... 27 1/2 hours of labor, c-section, 5 days in the hospital. E was 6# 12oz, 19.5 inches long. She is my little angel. It amazes me how fast they grow up. She is walking, running, talking (trying to), enjoys certain cartoons, specifically her current favorite is Blues Clues, then Dora, Tigger and Pooh, and Little Einsteins. She like reading books (being read to) and jamming to music. Since watching Blues Clues the last week or so, she has started talking more and actually interacting with the TV a bit more, pointing things out that she sees.

I Told You So...?

I wasn't wrong, but I wasn't right either....

I find it hard to not say I told you so a lot, because even though you don't like what I have to say, I am not always wrong and actually things might be easier if you listen to me once in a while. I do have life experiences that help me to know better how to handle things and what needs to get done.

Attitude...

I hate attitude…!

I know, I know, I am one of the worst ones for giving attitude, but that doesn’t mean I don’t hate it all the same. And why is it when kids/teens give you attitude all you want to do is wring their necks? Or when they don’t think you know what you are talking about and say “Well, how would you know?” I hate it. HATE IT! For once can’t they just listen, accept it as the truth (which it is), and just do what they are told? Why is that so hard? I don’t recall back talking like that to my parents when they told me something (like this). I know I did in other situations, but there are times when I knew my parents knew what they were talking about.

Safe Winter Jacket Use in Carseats

To keep our babies safe, use the thinnest jacket possible under the carseat straps or zip the jacket over the straps. Check out Car-Seat.Org for more info.
