Oh Lordy!!!

I thought I'd give ya a little hint of my craziness on this first blog. I figure I'll get better at this stuff in the next few days. I just have to remember the crazy things I think of during the day. Like,  these women in the store that have 10 kids following them and they are pregnant with another one. Sometimes, I just wanna slip a pack of condoms in their basket with a note that says "Your welcome!". For cryin' out loud! At least I was smart enough to stop at 2. Course, I didn't learn the first time, so I had to have a second one. Believe me, I caught on to what caused that real quick! Really, I love my kids. I just hope one day that my son will kindly live on his own, before I am dead already! (Actually, I love having him here and I have to stop myself from "babying" him...hahaha!) 

Speaking of kids, I saw something in the great land of "Wally-World" the other day that just made me wonder what kind of kids we are raising. I witnessed this little girl pitching a big hissy fit over some toy. She must've been about 6. She was really going at it. I stood and watched in amazement as her dad turned his back and started walking away! First rule of parenting: Never, under any circumstance, turn your back on the little buggers. You don't know what they are going to do to you. Apparently this man never heard of  the First Rule. I think now he wished he had. His little girl started screaming, yelling and throwing herself around. Well, not only was she throwing herself around, she was throwing toys off the shelf. I had to just shake my head. I'm telling ya, things are looking grim for us when some fancy dude tells us to just walk away from kids when they are pitching a hissy fit. I personally find that pitching one with them works better. Not only do you feel better for relieving some stress, you get to see them looking at you like you are nuts. But, it stops them cold. And when they stop, you tell them "well, now you know, it's kinda silly, isn't it to act like that?" They get the message.  Of course, it is kinda hard to pitch a fit in the store with everyone watching, so I've thought of other ways to get them back when they get older and can appreciate it! One of the things I thought of doing when they were about 11 and 14 was to put money in one of those money changers. Ya know, like a $5 or $10. Then, when the change starts coming out start jumping up and down, yelling "I WON!!!". I never got the chance to do it, though. So sad.  If anyone decides to try this, shoot an email off to me and let me know how it went. I need as many good laughs as I can get!

Well, I will post again as soon as my brain decides it's rested enough. I think Chowder is ready for bed.
