The Good, The Bad and The Ugly..

Just keeping it for real.
I put little miss Sydney Jean Reed in time-out for hitting her brother. She was in time-out for 20 minutes because little miss stubborn refuses to say sorry.
Anyway after a long, teary 20 minutes she finally said sorry.
She then is supposed to walk over to her brother give him a hug and then say sorry.
What does Sydney do?
She walks over to Henry and slaps him in the face.
WOW.
Guess that time out really worked!
Go parenting! The hardest job on Earth.

Peace Out!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, we are just coming off my 29th birthday and i thought this post would be appropriate.
My birthday was brought in with my first born Henry being sick pretty much the whole night. I am certain that the flu bug finally found our house.
So, this birthday, i was tired........ to say the least. Three kids really can take it out of you.
But, one clingy sick kid really can.
Don't feel to bad for me, because my parents, brother and sister were all here, so i did have a lot of fun and laughing and spoiling.
This post is appropriate because this is parenting at it's finest.
Take a clue from me. Do not give a child a heaping hot plate of spaghetti.
That child will somehow drop it and then every other child sitting at the table will start crying.
And then Daddy will wonder how come we have decided to have this many kids. And then MOMMY will come in and save the day! She will turn on the magical computer and allow us to watch a movie and dinner at the same time. YAY!!!!
And we will laugh...............
Because, this is what family is. Memories.
Do you remember that one time when I turned 29 and Henry was so whiny and clung to me all day long. :) I am so thankful for the chance to make more memories!
xoxox Friends!
