Pat on the back for me...

I didn't beat T at Costco, Bed Bath and Beyond, or Walmart. He sure deserved it though!!He was throwing tantrums right and left, biting and scratching me, screaming no over and over again and being awful!

One older lady at Walmart almost had me in tears (they were swimming in my eyes) when she came to my cart, looked at T (lovingly even) and said "Are you having a bad day?" and then told him that she was sorry he was having a bad day, but he should give me a hug and stop hitting me. (I was making him stay in the cart) Then she just commiserated with me about what a hard age it was.

She saved him. All I could think about was what a rotten child he was. After that I had a bit more love in my heart.

Busy Week...

I am ready for some down time. Right now I am debating whether or not we really have to eat next week. I don't want to leave the house to go to the grocery store.

My week in review:

Monday: went into my Dr's to give a urine sample. Blood in your urine is not a good thing! (Dr's office is about 45 minutes away) Ended up spending the day up there at my mom's running errands.

Tuesday: Primary day. Had my primary presidency meetings and ran more errands.

Wednesday: An early morning trip to the grocery store for donuts led to spending the day fixing a flat tire. Thank heavens for Grandpa (who works closer than DA does) who came and changed my tire for me. We had to make a trip home (grocery store is 15 minutes from my house) to get a wrench to get the stupid jack to come out of the car, and to get the car manual so we could figure out how to get the spare out. Complicated! I found out later that the tire couldn't be fixed so we bought 4 new tires.

Thursday: Went up to my mom's so I could leave the car to get worked on. Bought baby material for a quilt that Grandma is going to make. Ended up paying for an alignment, new stems for the tire (two broke off) and rear brake pads. It was one expensive flat tire.

Today (Friday): I'm trying to work up the energy to go to the grocery store. Tonight we are meeting DA and a friend from out of town for dinner. Dinner will be in the big city so more driving is involved.... sigh.

Tomorrow: a scentsy party to attend (unfortunately with T in tow) and then a Temple trip later that afternoon.

To all you women who do this day in and day out my hat is off to you! I like staying home more than this.

Uh huh...

Yep, I am having a hard time making up my mind. I'm also having a lot of fun seeing what kind of templates I can come up with. But, I do think I will stick with this one for awhile.

A new look thanks to T...

Instead of cleaning out my closet like I had planned, I have I new look to my blog! While I was being the nap police today, telling T to get back in bed every 5 minutes or so, I was able to fiddle with the look of both my blogs.

What do you think?

Toddler Talk

So T is having a hard time with his R's. That's fine. It's totally common. But I totally cringe every time he says fork. I know he doesn't mean to leave out the r and he has no idea what he is saying, but still! I keep waiting for the parental police to come and haul me away.

He's inserting r's where they don't belong too. This morning he asked for a crup of milk. Yesterday it was a crap of milk. At least he is getting closer to the right word.

His language is totally exploding which makes things easier and harder. Easier because we can understand him more, but harder because he gets really frustrated when we don't understand him. It's a double edged sword.
