1. Headin' to IA in about 4 days. Got 2 new tires for the front of the car, and updating my maps on gps. Gonna be a llooonnngggg drive. ;P
2. Had fun on a mini trip w/a pal. I'll go more into detail next blog with pictures. Kids acted pretty good, and we got to walk around little shops in a "mini Germany" kinda of town. Only prob was Gan's freak out the first night.
3. Gan is gettin' frustrated, which makes him ExPloDe w/RaGe! He's a total mini Todd. Though on our trip he wanted to beat me up, and just wouldn't stop fighting me the first night. It was wicked weird. He even head butted me! Yes I wept, but took a diff. stagety second night and it went alittle smoother. When we got home and he continued I had to actually spank. I am usually against spanking BUT he was gettin' pretty out of control w/as soon as you didn't do something he liked he wailed on you! and kicked! So much pent up aggression! But momma wins....I can kind of get why he's going coo coo bananas w/missing Daddy ALOT and havin' the Holladay rage thing, but I can only take so much. BUT since I put the smackdown he's acting sweeter, and listening WAY better. Score one for Momma......
4. Todd has super sucky internet now, so he can rarely email. No calls either. Gonna have to start doing snail mail I think. We get to see him next month for Christmas! I'm hopin' to get a hotel room for a night at least cuz how can you have any alone time when staying w/family? None. Hence the hotel night.....or two.....I haven't told Gan about seeing Todd yet cuz he doesn't understand time, so I'll wait til the day before he comes or the morning of......
5. Parenthood is now one of my favorite shows! It is utterly awesome! I hope it stays on for many more seasons! awwww Parenthood.........
6. I recommend the book The Room.....
7. I need to stop stress eating!!!! I was doin' pretty good, and my jeans were fittin' better, but I fell off the healthy wagon.......Anxiety took over, and now I must have fried goodness, w/a side of chocolate.........
That is all for now. It's not much, but I'm kinda tired and my brain isn't functioning. :P Gonna go watch Parenthood...

R&R Next month!! Woohoo!!
ReplyDeleteI hate having to spank but sometimes I can't get the kids to stop attacking each other. I still feel a little weird, because I'm like "DON'T HURT EACH OTHER" and then I hurt their butts. But sometimes time outs and other types of punishments don't get the message through and it's not fun but sometimes feeling the pain (and definitely embarrassment) might help them understand the pain and other hurt they are causing when they do things like that. It's hard to know sometimes, but we gotta do what we can to try and teach them to be good.
