Not what I need right now

This week my family is in from out of town for a few days. We have been doing so much together, yesterday we took the hour drive up to Lake Erie to spend the day on the beach. As much fun as this sounds I once again was smiling thru the pain. My medium migraine was back and as much as I wanted to get out there and play in the waves with my nieces I was having a really hard time. My oldest niece noticed that I was not feeling well and she massaged my back for me this did help and then I was able to go and play a bit. By the time we got home and all cleaned up all I wanted to do was take my meds and go to bed.

if something goes up it must come down

This morning my son came to me with a bottle of that spray silly string. He wanted to do it in the house and of course I nixed that real quick. I did tho let him go outside and do it on the porch and play, with the understanding that if he was going to spray it there were some ground rules. 1. only on the porch 2. can't spray your sister 3. you have to clean up everything when you are done. The fun of the small bottle came and went and keeping it on the porch and not spraying his sister were followed to a T. Cleaning up tho was another story he cleaned up all the big pieces then there were thoes stragglers. My son then proceeded to try to rationalize/argue with me for the next thirty minn. Yep I am that push over mom that if he argues long enough I am probably going to give in cuz I am sick of arguing. I have noticed this pattern with my daughter lately and have really stuck to the time outs. My question this week is do you know what it takes for you to give in to your children? Better yet do your children know what works on you?

Time Out Tips

I have been frustrated this past week, it seems like every time I turn around I have to deal with something the kiddos have done. Either my 8 yr old is teasing my 2 yr old or my 2yr old has touched something else that she isn't aloud to have. I could use a Mommy Timeout! Since we are in the middle of renovating our home we do not have my fave time out Mommy's Tubby Time. I use to fill the tub, get some good trash mags, a glass of wine and escape. I haven't had that for a while now and it is starting to show. So I ask you this question..... What do you do when you need a MOMMY TIME OUT?

Potty Training or Potty Conning

Ok so I don't mind being short (5ft 2in) most of the time. Today although it stunk!!!! I had to lift my 8 yr old son up onto the third shelf at Wal Mart to get the last box of diapers for my 2yr old daughter. I am so ready for her to be potty trained. She is doing well although it seems like the only time she tells me she has to go is when we are out in public. I try my best to remind her when we are home I.E. as soon as she gets up in the morning. She does very well with that and unlike my friends stories and blogs she is not into the chocolate rewards she wants to take her vitimans after the morning potty time and after that she wants to brush her teeth. So I ask this.... What did you do when you were potty training your children? Did each child have a different method/reward system? What worked? What didn't work?

Good Day

Today I actually had a great day no migraine!!!!!! Yea especially because it was first a nice day and second because it was my husband and mine anniversary. We didn't have anything special planned since we just got back from a week in Key West. We just watched Bedtime Stories with the kids and went outside to catch lightening bugs. Although we didn't do anything big today it was a great day for me and it easy to be a good mom.
