SCARE ME!

I was at the park the other day and it was infested with little monsters. These were mean nasty barbarous miscreants. At 5 (and just out of public school) they were yelling, pushing, shoving, throwing sand, stealing toys, ordering people around, picking on kids they didn’t know, name calling, demanding, whining, and generally creating havoc. Of course parents were NO WHERE to be found – oh they were at the park, just not within hearing distance of their children. With the way these kids were acting I wish it was ok to just put them each in a box with air holes until they are 21. No maybe longer.

I sincerely hope that positive discipline and attachment parenting will help Chanler to be a better person even at a young age! Otherwise I may just go grey early or something worse.

It is great to have family visit, but it is really tiring. Scott’s Grandma stayed with us from Friday to Tuesday, so I have been entertaining for 4 1/2 days. I guess I am a bit anal because when people are visiting I like to have my house be tidy and clean – keeping that way for 4+ days is hard. I also cooked lots so that we didn’t go out to dinner much (Grandma has a bad habit of being stuborn about paying when we go out). It was really great to see Chanler interact with his Great Grandmother – I wish she didn’t live so far away. I know he won’t remember her the next time he sees her and that makes me sad

It is supposed to rain for another two weeks (gripe). This after one of the wetest Marches in a long time I think it rained over 25 days in March. I am feeling cooped up and I know Chanler would love to get outside too.

that I get sad/annoyed when other people don’t post stuff on their blogs. I mean I love to read other people’s stuff and see updates on their lives, but yet I don’t put anything on my own blog. I guess I just assume that no one is reading this anyway. Oh the double standard =]

that when I finally get the oppertunity to sit down an write something on this blog I can’t remember any of the things I want to write about.

I can lie in bed at night and think of great content to post and even write it out in my head what to say, but when I finally get Chanler to sleep long enough that I can get to the computer – I am blank . . . argh

Why is it that when you have a life changing event (marriage, baby, etc) people feel the need to ask you the same inane questions.

The “are you getting any sleep” question is fast becoming as annoying as the “when are you going to have kids” question was when we got married!

I know I say it every year, but where did the time go?
I can’t believe it is 2005!
Weren’t we just recently worrying about Y2K?
I mean think of this – people born in 1980 will be turning 25 this year . . . whoa!

Just thought I’d share!
