It's been a long week. My sweet sweet Taylor is not so sweet this week. Or last week...or actually, well, let's just say it's been a long two years. And he's only three.
I mean, what the heck is up with kids? Or
my kid as I'm sure
you don't have this problem. But, seriously, where is the fear and trepidation that we had for our parents? What must I do?
Actually, I know what to do. I did it well in all my years as a nanny. I guess it's just a bit different when it's your own. I get lazy and eventually I realize I'm slacking in the discipline. I find I'm giving too many chances or bending the rules just because it's easier. But it always brings me back to here. To this beautiful place of wondering if a 5 pm bedtime is too early.
You can always tell what's going on with me by the books I have next to the couch. Here's what I pulled out today:
It's time to bring on the Little Momma Smack Down.
I was feeling a bit close to tears tonight, but then I walked into my room and saw these:
I felt a smile spread across my lips. It's superficial I know, but sometimes a cute pair of shoes it all it takes. Well, that and Pineapple Upside Down Cake Yoplait yogurt. The combination was blissful.
Okay, so as you've seen I have some re-reading to do. (this is what, the third time for both books?)
I'll be back with a well disciplined child.
Or else, I'll just be back.
