Some Wisdom

I was IMing with a girl from high school and this is something she said. I loved it and asked her if I could quote her, so...


"I told my self I am not perfect my house does not need to be spotless all the time'
I am fortunate to have a messy house cause its cluttered with love from the kids"
Nikki


I need to not stress so much about all the clutter in my life!

Bedtime Battle Blues



Why is it that every night at bedtime the boys are all of a sudden hungry, whining, yelling at each other, crying, complaining, etc.? I even asked them an hour in advance to put their p.j.'s on. Do you think anybody did? NO! Of course not.
And Logan got spanked for laughing. Who spanks their child for laughing? I do, obviously. It is a wicked and mean little laugh that comes out gleefully when his brothers are upset and whining, yelling at each other, crying, complaining, etc.
Tomorrow I am not only going to ask them an hour in advance to put p.j.'s on, but I am going to keep on them until they do and then I am going to send them straight to bed after that. That way, if all the hunger pangs, whining, yelling at each other, crying, complaining, and other such nonsense occurs, they will at least be settled in by bedtime.

That's What Friends Are For


Jamie is the best! I was glued to the computer this morning (and afternoon). She came by and started cleaning my house. Oh, the guilt I felt! I, of course, had to put the computer aside and jump in to help. I couldn't even talk her into looking at my blog or anything until after some cleaning got done. This time she has the halo and I have the horns.
I say I am lazy. Jamie says I am burned out. Thanks for making excuses for me Jamie!
That's what friends are for.
