thanks, lori and kstaven! things are going pretty well.
Thanks for the t-day wishes, too, FC.
I firmly believe that the oh so smart person who came up with the idea of Nintendo DS and ran with it should be forced to adopt 6 children, and give them 2 DS's to share between them. THEN he should have to ground ONE child from the DS for sneaking it and playing with it w/o permission.
THEN Find out that same said child is staying up until after the 'rents go to bed and getting out of bed, sneaking the DS to his bedroom and saying up all. night. long. to play. And LYING about it.
Then, after this, he'd understand why I as a mom, think he - the programmer/inventor of parental torture devices - would understand why I think his idea should get him tarred and feathered.
My son is now banned indefinitely from playing the DS - I wanted to sell them but my hubs vetoed that as it would punish the other kids who DIDN'T disobey us. This boy is SO TIRED and his eyes are SO PUFFY and I am making him an extra long list of chores for today - and no napping for him!
The Nintendo DS's have been put up in my room and will not be brought back out - and all my son is going to get for Christmas is clothing. I don't want to NOT give him any gifts on Christmas, so no fun gifts seemed to be a good alternative.
Other than that, today is another doozy day. Peds appt for Squeakers this am and then later today my new appliances are being delivered.
I'll brag for a moment, hope ya'll will forgive me - but have you seen the commercials for the Samsung fridge with freezer on bottom, and between the fridge and freezer compartments there's a drawer in the middle that pulls out? the commercials show a little boy getting an juice box out of that drawer. I wanted that fridge SO BAD but it's like $3k to purchase it - so I was like not going to happen...but then Lowe's had it on SPECIAL for basically HALF off! SO WE GOT IT!!
It's being delivered tonight and I can't wait! I can definitely see stocking that middle drawer with healthy snacks for my kids - like carrot sticks, apple slices, juice boxes, cheese sticks, and other fruits and veggies. So when they tell me they are hungry between meals, they can go choose a snack.
We also have a new Samsung washer and dryer being delivered today. No front loading machines here - I like the top load just fine. Energy and water saving so YAY and goodbye 20 year old appliances!
