Why couldn't she just love princesses? As I refined, ladylike mother, hum, I should be teaching her better but... She cracks ups about anything related to the butt. Yep!! She loves the words diarrhea and fart! So, I sometimes say those dirty little words over and over or sing them in songs just to get or to laugh when she is mad!! Oh, I am sooo bad!!

Despite knowing already that he watches too much TV I let me DH buy him a little digital portable viewer, because I know it will make my life easier when we're out sometimes.<br /><br />OMG, despite swearing I never, ever would, I sometimes use lollypops as a reward after realising that not only do the kids get a reward, but they keep their mouths closed for AGES while they're eating them!<br /><br />OMG, I could just go on and on.....<br /><br />Ellen, great post.

The purple pair is a half-size larger because she had supposedly outgrown the pink ones. Of course, for about 2 weeks now, she has insisted on wearing one pink shoe and one purple shoe. It's not worth the battle. Before that, she would only wear one sock. Sigh......<br /><br />My really bad mommy moment: I sometimes make my 6-year old son give something that he had first to my daughter, just to stop her screaming. That's not good.<br /><br />Laura<br /><br />Oh! The site works perfectly well now on my macs.

I let Daniel sleep in his clothes the other night because I was too tired to argue with him about why you shouldn't wear clothes that you've worn to play in the dirt to bed. I cancelled an appointment last week by giving a completely BS excuse. I've let Daniel watch a new show on Disney called Gassie (a really gross parody of Lassie), and he's had Joe's O's (Trader Joe's Spaghetti O's) and a hot dog for dinner at least three times in the past week. I also may have (cough) lost a certain book that just may drive me mad if I have to read it one more time. And yes, despite all of this, I consider myself a good mom. Who wants perfect, anyway? That sounds so incredibly dull.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335163039655404397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-74596352164990746352009-09-22T07:11:25.333-04:002009-09-22T07:11:25.333-04:00You are SO funny and so real - I know that I have ...You are SO funny and so real - I know that I have left the house without pullups and T's epi-pen and done many of the things on your list.

Beaver Cleaver's mom doesn't exist, I say!<br /><br />My kids like hotdogs. Yeah, hotdogs, with who-knows-what is inside them. I try to get the "better" ones, but even so, they are hotdogs! And they will not eat the tofu ones, they think they stink (I have to agree)--I tried them once trying to be "Good" thinking they'd be healthier....those went to the neighbor's dog (he wouldn't eat 'em, either--what a waste of money!) after a major pout and a switch to peanut butter for the meal--yes, the "dreaded" peanut butter which is also a sin in some homes but my kids love with lots of JELLY, too.<br /><br />You do what ya gotta do!Felicianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-81633926530279601202009-09-22T01:17:01.578-04:002009-09-22T01:17:01.578-04:00OMG!
