hello. I'm feeling irritable today. Not a good start when watching three babies...all of which are a little ornery (sp?)... Oh well. that's life. I'm going to visit my mom and megan's family for spring break! YAY! Same time Emily is going to Alaska I guess. I have homework I realllllyyy really don't want to do. I need a pick me up. I need to do something fun, not just alll this regular everyday madness...my life has gotten so monotonous, despite being crazy, that I'm getting a little twitchy. I need friends...and hobbies...and time to do both. My daughter is yelling at me right now cuz she is stuck under a chair....she got herself there, she can get out right? apparently not. Now Jodi and Charlotte are trying to join her. Should I intervene? Nah. Let's just see what happens.............hmm. more screaming. big surprise. Why? Because even though M can't do it herself, she sure does not want help; from anybody...much less charlotte. :) I keep thinking I want another baby..then I babysit and I quickly change my mind. Until I'm safely at home with only one baby again...then I want two...then I babysit again...hmm...vicious circle. Anyway. Life. What do you do?
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
