DD walked into the kitchen and said, "As soon as I eat I'm going to watch TV."

I said, "Um....what?!  I don't think so.  School day remember."

I wonder how much crap I'm going to get during school today......

Hiding in the corner with my chocolate......

"Yes, I understand that you don't like it because it is hard work......to bad you have to do it anyway " is the theme of my life right now......

*sigh* Hiding in my room during DD's meltdown....I just can't handle it tonight.

*sigh* My 8 year old has spent more time playing with the 2 yo's alphabet toy than her own today. What is up with that?

*yawn*

As I try to lesson plan: write, shift the cat, hole punch, shift the cat.....

Big storm approaching....

Crazy cats. They had perfectly good kibble in their bowl. But no, they are going to And once I poured the kibble from the bowl into another bowl......well, hallalujah they are fed and they start eating.

Does anyone else feel like they are stuck in the Little Nemo movie? "Mine. Mine. Mine."

Done with the Christmas shopping with just a couple of stragglers left to wrap.

First snowstorm since DD was two. She is 10 now and over the moon.

Happy. DD9 rode her new pony today. They were both a bit nervous but they did good.

Hmm..I'm in the cat house today. I agreed to let DD keep a cat in her room as a bribe during her swimming lesson. The victim will not be happy.

Hmmm....go away for a week and come back to a 180 degree personality change in the cat. My snuggle avoider is now snuggle seeking. He's even propositioned the 7 year old he hasn't ever tolerated before.

I have a cat and a toddler fighting over who gets to be in my lap. The toddler won and now the cat is across the room giving dirty looks.

I just spent 40 minutes picking feathers out of DD's mattress. If she wants another down pillow she'll have to wait until she's 18 and has her own place.

I'm really over split custody drama. Fortunately, my upcoming holidays just got easier.

I'm really over the daily bedtime dramatics and meltdown.....for a 7 year old.

I've only been saying "no" for 2 months to DH's suggestions/planning for yet another Disney trip. So, why does he make me have to get rude about it before he'll respect my no?

If your going to get pissy that a two year old is going to refuse to give you back your glasses and bend them in ways that will break them.....DON'T GIVE THEM TO HIM. And you certainly don't punish him for your lack of judgement.

Just so happy. I had the best riding lesson to date. I was able to put all the things I've been learning for the past two years together for most of my ride. And it was on done at home on my horse that I haven't ridden in a year.

Oh my! Horse shopping just got real. First time buying, first horse we even looked at, and my instructor is wanting to set up a two week trial. Eek! It's happening faster than I expected.

Oh, sure...a trade. You deal with 3 year old while I sleep another hour, and I'll deal with him the next two.....45 minutes after his hour he's finally up and I'm still having to deal with potty time.

Really getting tired of the freeloaders I have to host multiple times every week.
