    So, per our daily routine, I took my DCK's for a walk and then into my backyard to play this morning. I am just pulling out trikes and balls and rakes for the kids when I look up and see a whole dead deer strung to a tree in the neighbors yard (maybe 30 feet away). Ugh! I didn't say anything and hoped the kids wouldn't notice (yeah right) but lo and behold: "Miss Leanna!!!!!! What is that????!!!!!!!" Hunt if you must but please don't leave dead animals where everyone can see them!

      The only dck I have currently came last Thursday sneezing and non-stop runny nose all day. Mom kept her home Friday, but Sunday my ds, dd and myself all woke up with the start of a cold. So annoyed! I know kids get sick, but really? Now my sinuses hurt, I have post nasal drip gagging me non-stop (sorry if that is TMI) and my head and throat hurt. Hate when my family gets sick from dck's!

        I feel the same way. I have facebook friends who hunt, and post pictures of the deer (or turkey) on their page, which goes into my newsfeed. :confused:

          Today I had a toddler that screamed almost non-stop for an hour, I think she just got herself worked up. Now I have another toddler that won't sleep, is he just laying there, kicking around. Hopefully it happens soon.

            Oh... so he finally fell asleep, and I then got 10-15 minutes, so I swept/steamed the kitchen floor, went potty, and in walks his sister. Really? Usually the all sleep about 75-90 minutes. I sent her back in to lay down, and I am back waiting, hoping she does rest. Today nap can't go past two, because my 8 year old gets home then, and invariably, the door wakes them all up. Hopefully, she can go back to sleep, I have some things I was hoping to take care of today, such as prepping for the kids class I volunteer teach, tonight.

              retraining day! love it! feel like that every monday. Wish parents would realize that going, going, going all weekend is so hard on little kids. They need rest and playtime at home! Plus going after daycare then they are just exhausted! Poor babies

                  My vents this morning are being told these 2 dcks would be here at 6:45 and they didn't show up until 7:45. And these parents constantly complain about daycare prices and their older daughter's school lunch prices but constantly eat out all the time, buy new shoes (brand names) for the 2 kids every couple months along with new clothes (brand names again). Just drives me crazy.

                    25 minutes until lunch.... go to heat it up for serving. It is gone.

                    Pizza day is now Spaghetti day.... the only hot meal I can make in 25 minutes with what is left from last weeks shopping.

                    ON. A. FRIDAY.

                    Would it be completely wrong of me to make them eat naked outdoors???? It isn't THAT cold and wet out.

                      Bet it's warmer than here

                      ...and it should almost be a law that at least once per week we can serve spaghetti or some form of left over hodgepodge.

                        That I don't know yet.... but with 3 teens, a husband and a couple recent trips to stock our parents feezers for winter, it could have be anyone. Even me.

                          Is "home-training" even a word anymore???

                          I'm using the bathroom in Wal-Mart (which is traumatic enough on its own) when I hear two little girls about 5 or 6 come rip-roaring into the restroom. They proceed to both go into the stall next to me. Soon, I see hands on the floor under the partition separating the two stalls, then hair, then two dirty little faces grinning up at me while I sat on the commode.



                          I gave them a look of death hoping they'd go away, but a minute later they're back, giggling. I said "Don't look under the wall please" sternly, and next thing I hear is them running out to tell their mother what I said.

                          I was more than ready for her to confront me about it.

                            Oh oh oh. Did she say anything to you??? If those we my kids I would have been MORTIFIED. But, I know lots of moms who would have been offended that you dared scold their "angels."

                              I'm annoyed with my assistant, who was hired to cover preschool transporting. It is a school year position. For some reason our school district decided instead of having a half day for parent-teacher conferences, as they have in the past, to give students the whole day off. I never told my assistant I didn't need her, and we've have other times where the school district was closed for a conference day but preschool was open and she still came to work. She assumed that I didn't need her and made an appointment. When I emailed her on Friday to remind her I still needed her, she told me she would be in after her appointment at 8:40. Preschool starts at 9:00:confused: Because I'll have a SA boy today I won't have room to bring everyone for the ride, so my kids will be late for school

                                Sick and tired of parents who believe it's everybody elses job to tow the line for their children.

                                News flash, YOU had em, YOU raise em! What a concept.

                                After dcm came this morning and TOLD me I would be getting dcg ready for dance class from now on (I have told her 3 times already that the most I will do is hand dcg her tights and tutu and she'll have to do it herself in the bathroom as that is the time I am getting 3 school agers moving in the same direction, 2 pick ups, and preparing snack) and I told her no. Dcm goes "well it takes a village to raise a child!"

                                Sorry dcm, if you didn't like my reply of "and I'm not the village idiot." But it's NOT MY PROBLEM!
