• Sep. 6, 2007 - My life in a nutshell
For some reason it seems that we have suddenly upped the fun factor in our family. After making 2 full pots of homemade tomato sauce yesterday I told the girls that I would take them to do something fun as they were very well-behaved while I was working. I had heard of the circus being in town so we went ahead and went to that. Had a great time. I never cease to be amazed as to what people and animals can do. (Here I shut off my animal cruelty red flags that keep going up). Anyway, it was a great time despite the fact that child #2 had a rotten attitude when we left about not being able to have her face painted. Hey, after tickets, cotton candy for everyone, elephant rides, pony rides and coloring books..... I was out of money. What can I say?! We had a good hard talk about her attitude and she is consistantly in my prayers for that right now. If there is a problem or an issue to be had, it's to be had by her.......
Dealing with some issues getting #3 to stay in her bed at night as well as some tendencies to lie. So we discipline and discipline and discipline......so last night she was out of bed and being crazy and fell and busted her lip open--screams, blood everywhere.....10:00 at night. I was so frustrated. So I got her cleaned up kissed and settled her and the rest of the kids back in bed. My oldest comes in with a note a bit later saying, "Mom, Im sorry about too nite. (#3) still is too litttttle." So I ask her--"Was I too hard on your sister?" She says no and I'm feeling a bit better. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do to keep that child in her bed. She is one that gets really crazy--we have deemed the actual action as "slippy floppy" (named as such by #3 herself). It's accurate, she slips and flops around like a fish. That is usually my sign that she needs to sleep. It may help the mental picture that she is only 3 years old. Lord, give me patience with my children........
So today I'm up at 4:00am after a nightmare that my mother is critiquing the way I've kept house as of late. I need to get in my 45 minutes on my elliptical machine as we got lazy last night and I picked up KFC on the way home. Ok, so I did at least peel off the skin.....but I'm not sure that really made a difference. The mac and cheese was YUMMY! I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It doesn't help that on a whim we ate at golden corral the night before. I try not to do that very frequently. So I have to up the workouts to accomodate for my poor eating habits as of late. today is the girl's first day of gymnastics and then we're going to eat a picnic lunch with some dear friends at church. Then it's home and off to take the dog for a roller blade.
I'll close my eyes after a brief amount of time in front of the TV and it'll be time for yet another day.....
