I'm not going to lie, these last few weeks have been hell. For some reason I think the kids have decided to conspire against pretty much everything I do.. :-) My nerves are shot. Finn has developed a new and effective ( to him) way of getting our attention..he screams ( and when I say scream, I mean "pterodactyl" style) at some crazy octave that seriously has brought Chad to his knees more than once...*sigh*.
All the books say..."just ignore it" or "put the baby down" and he will learn to stop doing it.. Puh-lease...I really, honestly believe that he just likes doing it. He gets to hear himself make this terrific noise and it "sometimes" it gets a really good reaction out of mom and dad. ( mostly when we are holding him and he decides to do it directly into our ears).
Olivia is about to be three in a couple weeks...need I say more? Actually, she is REALLY good as three year olds go but lately has taken to sounding like a broken record...repeating something not once , not twice, but maybe 20 times in a row? *sigh*. All you moms out there know EXACTLY what I am referring to. :-)
Ok, ok,... so your saying "At least your kids are healthy, no major health issues, sleep throught the night ( finally! ), etc..etc.."..and I would say " you are right!".....
but a mommy has to have a place to vent....
So, venting done now....we will get through this season and move into another one soon I'm sure...my kids ARE great. They ARE healthy. They ARE happy.
Mommy is just pooped. :-)

I've gotten to the point where I'll ask Bryce a question over and over again (just to get even) and then he says ' that enuff mommy, i said no!!!' ----i don't know where he learns to say these things...oh yeah, that's exactly what I say ....
Venting is good and healthy! I like to vent weekly to a girlfriend over wine! Yes, your kids are adorable and healthy and of course you are grateful for everything, but never feel guilty about being annoyed by them at times, I think that is a parental right, ha!
