Here it is Tuesday afternoon and I'm finally getting a chance to actually blog about stuff. Yesterday I was busy with taking "N" to school and dealing with "O" and after her attitude at Walmart I had to go to a doctors appointment and rush home so "The Hubby" and I could leave to get baptized at church. We then proceeded to have date night.
Today I took "N" to school, did my CORE class, tanned, came home to shower and hang out with "O". As I was laying her down for her nap, "The Hubby" asked if we'd like to go with him to get lunch even though we had already eaten. She wasn't asleep so we all went out and of course all the fun began when he realized that Paradise Bakery had a 45 minute wait just to order food. We then went to Bajio for lunch and I just ordered chips since I wasn't that hungry and she didn't eat all of her lunch. So when "The Hubby" got his lunch she wanted some after she decided that she didn't like the chips, and he gave her some chicken then spit it out. I am getting so tired of her doing that.
So now I'm fighting her to take a nap and it's going on 2pm and I don't care how long it takes, she WILL take a nap. She has a serious attitude problem and I'm not putting up with it. "N" knows that he has to shape up and if "O" doesn't then she'll be spending a lot of time in her room. I don't have the energy to deal with her like that and by God she will learn.
I've already started having nightmares the other night. Luckily I didn't have any last night. It was stupid and the worst part was that I couldn't wake myself up to stop it. I'm sure that won't be the last and it is only normal to have those types of dreams when you're under a tremendous amount of stress like that.
Last night on the way home from CCV that we stopped by a new shopping center that's partially opened so I could return some pants and then we had a really nice dinner at Sauce where we sat outside in the most awesome weather. "The Hubby" had a few beers and we shared a pizza and tomato salad, really nice and then we walked over to Best Buy and just looked at things there and came home. The new sitter we have is pretty awesome and the kids like her too. Unlike the other sitters, she helps pick up the kids mess and plays with them instead of watching tv.
I guess last night she and "N" played Wii Bowling and Golf. He loves to play the Wii and the Xbox 360. My son is getting to be so awesome to hang out with. I'm also trying to not baby them so much. That means that I only hold their hands in parking lots, when we go for our nightly walks we them them go a little bit ahead of us. It's hard because of the things going on nowadays. I know that things have changed a lot since I was a kid, I remember playing in the front yard with no supervision sometimes and now I don't trust people to let my kids do that. Plus I have a desert landscaped front yard so it's just rocks and all that fun stuff.
Once the fertilizer sets in the grass a little more then they can go play in the backyard by themselves. I'll be able to put our little pool out there too and have to remember to dump it every night.
I can't wait for all of this stuff to be done and over with. Maybe then our lives will calm down.
