Some days I think "This isn't that hard" and then other days I think "I can't do this again tomorrow" but today when the boys decided to paint the carpet in Lux's room with real paint (Lennon somehow popped the lid off) I almost gave up. Almost got back into bed and quit my job.
Instead, they didn't get to go to swimming lessons (easier for me!) and I blogged about it.
They are each in separate rooms right now WAILING and I feel like sort of a good mom. Like their suffering means I'm doing something right. Didn't yell, didn't spank, just decided to take away their favorite thing.
Am I sick? Go ahead and say it.
But today is also a great day because this chunky monkey is two months old. Already. And never, ever paints the carpet.
Live feed from Lennon's timeout spot: "MOOOOMMM! This is REEEALLLLY boring! Now I'll never, EVER learn to swim and I'll probably DROWN this summer! MOOOOM! I want some LUUUUNCH! I'm so BOOOOOORRRRED! This is the BORINGEST THING
EVER!"
I think I'll go make myself some lunch.

Hey-It's Shana-Nate's sister. I came across your blog on facebook and I LOVE IT!!! Love how real you are. Good discipline technique. Your kids are adorable. We have a blog too, if you want an invite just send me a message on facebook. I was thinking it would be fun to get together if we are still in the same area. . .
Bahaha!! I can laugh because it didn't happen to me! If it did, there would have been yelling, and probably a spanking. So you can tell you boys when you let them out of time out that they should be glad that I"m not their mom. ;)
Hey Shana! Great to hear from you!
Your husband ..... the father of these two little "Dali wannabe's" .... tipped over a gallon of white paint on my hot pink shag carpet in our B.R. when he was around Larry's age. But I only remember the "horror" I felt ... not what I did to him. Probably nothing .... we didn't know about "time out" back then.
