Not the mom I want to be

October 19, 2007

Lately I can't seem to keep my patience with Michael. I'm yelling, a lot. And threatening, and bribing, and letting him watch way too much TV just so he will stop whining. This morning I yelled, really yelled at him. He wouldn't sit still so I could put his shoes on and I lost it. [...]

October 18, 2007

This happens to me every year.  I call the pediatrician in October and ask about flu shots.  I'm told to call next week.  This continues the entire month of October until they let me make an appointment in November for the end of the month. I got a flu shot in September when I got [...]

Yup, I have jury duty. I can't really complain because the last 3 times they subpoenaed me I deferred. The county I live in has this program where they give you a number and you call the night before to see if they need you. I knew I was in trouble when I was number [...]

Secenes from my marriage

October 14, 2007

We spent the weekend doing stuff around the house. Doug built shelves in the laundry room (yeah!), we slip covered a chair that Foster had ruined, and put together a trunk we bought to use as a coffee table to replace the one I ruined. (See a trend here? We can't keep anything nice in [...]

No Candy, I Swear

October 13, 2007

Kimberly at Petroville has asked that fellow bloggers join her in a No Candy Promise from now until November 7th. I'm expanding it. Not just no candy, but no junk. I eat very well, but I certainly sneak a bite of ice cream or a few french fries here and there. I've been trying to [...]
