SAHM for the rest of my kids lives!!

>> Thursday, February 28, 2008

It is stories like this that seal my fate as a stay at home mom.

This just terrifies me. When I went back to work after having Elizabeth, I left her with our family friend Sarah(the woman who is watching the kids Saturday) and even then I had horrible nightmares. I can't imagine having a stranger in my home (or in their home even worse) watching my kids. It is almost a phobia, my anxiety gets so high, I want to throw up thinking about it.

I just don't understand how people can treat children like this. I don't understand how someone can be so uncaring. People who abuse babies are so low, I don't think they should even be considered human. Prison isn't bad enough for these animals. They should be tied up in the city center with a big sign that says "I LIKE TO HURT INNOCENT BABIES" For everyone to see. There should be a vendor selling rocks and rotten food to throw at them.

For those who have their OWN babies and abuse them, they should have their reproductive organs ripped from their bodies. Sexual predators should be castrated like cattle.

Some people ask what would I do, if I won millions on the lottery? I would but a HUGE house with lots and lots of bedrooms and put an ad out saying "if you don't want your baby, give them to me" I know Chris would probably divorce me but it would be a small price to pay to save these innocent lives.

Cha cha cha changes

>> Wednesday, February 27, 2008

Chris is coming home early from his last day at Jiffy Lube. He officially goes on "vacation" tomorrow and starts his new job on Monday. We are looking forward to the double pay cheques and hope to be able to catch up on some bills, pay the RENT and get our car insurance renewed.

I have Chris home for a couple days which I love. I don't know why but there is just something safe and secure about having him here with us. Maybe its because I know he isn't driving on bad snowy roads with a hundred other drivers, many who are bad drivers. Maybe its because I know he is going to catch up on some much needed sleep and relaxation or maybe its just because I like having him around.

With his new job, the hours will be the same but his commute will be around 25 miles a day shorter. This will really help with the price of gas these days, which in itself is hell on poor people like us, even with our monthly allowance of government cheese!

All in all, I think this job is the change Chris needs. I think he will be much happier and hope this leads into something permanent. Who knows maybe a move to another city or state is in our future!

Maybe an exorcism will help?

>> Tuesday, February 26, 2008

My sweet brown eyed girl has been possessed by some sort of 4 yr old demon! At 12 months old, she used please and thank you. At 2 she would ask nicely for things she wanted. At 3 she had her moments but overall was a pretty polite little girl. Now, 2 weeks into age 4 and she has turned into a nasty, mean little girl.

Demands for this, Demands for that. No manners, not even asking for things. And when she is told no, the head starts turning and pea soup puke flies from her body. Fresh out of holy water, I'm at a loss on what to do.

Her tantrums have become physical. Kicking, screaming, hitting, throwing her 32 pound body all over and even to the point of making herself throw up or holding her breath until she passes out. Half of the time, she throws a fit for no reason at all. She refuses to listen and understand what I say, even if I'm agreeing with her!

An example of her over reaction: I asked her to please put her dirty clothes in the empty basket and I was going to fold the clothes that were clean in the other basket. Fairly simple right? I showed her the basket to put dirty clothes in and went on my way. I saw she was putting her dirty clothes in the basket that was full of clean so I just went over and showed her where to put the dirty clothes. The moment I took a dirty sock out of the clean basket, all hell broke loose. Screaming and crying and kicking. I didn't really understand WHY she was having a fit. I tried to calmly explain again but her screams were too loud and she was in a rage. I had to grab her and hold her so she would stop kicking. After 5 minutes, she was calm. As quickly as it started, she was fine and went on her way putting the clothes properly into the right basket.

Honestly, is laundry that big of a deal? Was all that necessary? These fits happen more and more often. They are triggered by little unimportant details. I don't know what to do to stop this or how to make her understand she doesn't need to freak out. I try and tell her to remain calm and talk to me about her feelings. To talk about what is confusing her to avoid these fits.

I have started to send her to the corner when she starts talking rude and demands things. This has worked for the most part but I don't know when she lost the ability to speak nicely. Explaining over and over, ask nicely for things you want. Use your manners.

Maybe age 5 will be better, but I'm not holding out much hope for that!

Is my crack showing?

>> Monday, February 25, 2008

This is what happens when you are 16 months old and you have an older, bigger sister. I know(she doesn't though) that he will get her back someday! One day in highschool as she is walking with her friends he will come up behind her and drop her pants in front of the whole school. I can't say I will blame him.

>> Sunday, February 24, 2008

Elizabeth: I want to watch another movie
Me: No, you can go play for a little while
Elizabeth: You are being so mean to me!
Me: Playing is not being mean. You can go play with your toys.
Elizabeth: That is mean!




I should of sent her to go do the dishes and mop the kitchen floor!

Bored on a saturday, searching through youtube when I came across this

Pink Cheeks

>> Thursday, February 21, 2008

Ok so all day Christopher has had some pink cheeks. I figured I should check his mouth and see what was going on and found 2 new teeth! Both on the left side, one right beside the top two, then a space and another molar starting! Of course with them both coming in on the left side this throws his whole world out of whack. He now walks in circles, pulled by the unevenness of his mouth.

.33

>> Wednesday, February 20, 2008

I had a meeting yesterday with a lady from an insurance company. We are trying to get low cost insurance that is income based. Going over our income with a fine tooth comb she informs me we are over. Over by what? 33 Cents!

I'm shocked that this amount disqualifies us, but there is no gray area when it comes to low cost insurance. Maybe next month! *insert rolled eyes*

Favorite Recipe of the month

>> Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Parmesan chicken and Sliced Parmesan garlic potatoes

The chicken is from the Hellman's mayo jar but I adjusted it.

I do 1/4 cup mayo
1/4 Parmesan cheese
2 chicken breasts cut in half in two thin cutlets
1/2 seasoned bread crumbs

I put them on a wire rack with the cut side up over a tinfoil lined baking sheet. Mix the mayo and cheese together then lather up the cut side of the chicken. You don't want it too thin nor to thick. Sprinkle on the crumbs. You can add some Cajun spice if you want a little bite.

Potatoes
Wash 2 large potatoes(peeled or not, your choice)
slice into thin little silver dollars
Parmesan cheese
Garlic powder
salt & pepper
sliced green onions

Line another baking sheet with tin foil and spray with pam. Lay out your potatoes, overlapping them slightly. Add the onions then cover generously with the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with garlic and salt & pepper

Bake all of this at 425 for 20 minutes.

Sharing

>> Saturday, February 16, 2008

I know in marriage there is a certain amount of sharing to be expected. Sharing of feelings, sharing of laughter, even sharing of the household money. I was not aware that the sharing of germs came with the deal! I am sick again, just days after Chris was. If you feel like you are getting sick, don't kiss me. If you feel a bit under the weather, don't cough in my direction!!!

The ducks are almost in order!

>> Friday, February 15, 2008

The last week has been somewhat of a turning point for us, at least I hope it has. Finally getting our medical insurance squared away, possible job for me and a new job for Chris. I don't know why we are tested the way we are. I guess we appreciate our life even more when things turn around.

Chris's new job will open a whole new world for us. Possibly down the road a move into a better house, better area and school district. I am usually very pessimistic, but right now I am optimistic that our life is going to get better. I never wanted to be rich, but comfortable in our own home. Kids happy and healthy, and the bills paid.

Chris came home with chocolate. Not just any convenience store chocolate but real hand dipped dark chocolate truffles, Almond truffles and a heart shaped box of dark chocolate dipped strawberries. I married well.

Parking wars

>> Monday, February 11, 2008

Chris decided to go out to the store for a few minutes to pick up some fresh rolls for dinner. In the 15 minutes he was gone, another stupid idiot parked in the driveway again. Chris was pissed to say the least. I went down to tell the stupid bitch to move. He pulled into our spot and she parked RIGHT BEHIND. Now really, is "NO GUEST PARKING" so hard to understand?! I'm about to start letting air out of their tires then call a tow truck. This is just stupid unnecessary crap! We have lived here for 3 years and we still can't park in our own driveway? Its time to start charging for their parking. Every day we have to deal with this, is 5 dollars off the rent!!

Slowly turning into my mother

>> Monday, February 4, 2008

Growing up, the grocery list was always a big joke. My mom would work all week on her list but when it came to shopping day, the list sat where it had all week. On the kitchen table.

Now I often remember to bring my list but somehow my brain mis functions the words on it. Trying to always stick to the list is nearly impossible for me. I know this holds true for many people, especially when they shop hungry. Over shopping really isn't the problem it is under shopping. I come home every week and realize that I need 4 more things. It can't really be that hard to sit down and right out a list of needed items but yet I still have yet to do it.

I think if my husband has to go back to the store one more time he is libel to hit me with the car.

Public stonings

>> Sunday, February 3, 2008

There are not words to describe my anger when I hear stories of child abuse and neglect. This news story and others like it just make me utterly speechless. I just don't understand it! This story hits home because I come from a small community just like this. I know we will never be in a world where everyone gets along and there is no war or murders but for god sake, if you can't be responsible for your children DO NOT HAVE THEM!
