Fair Warning

My sweet mom was so generous in giving me the gift of lasic eye surgery for Christmas. She knew I would never do it on my own and I am as blind as a bat.. especially at night! Today I went for my consultation to see if I was a candidate and apparently a perfect one.. Healthy eyeballs.. but bad vision! So I get my date and realize it is a little more of a procedure than I thought. Everyone says you go in and they are done in 30 seconds.. true.... but they do not tell you that you cannot wear your contacts a week before and no makeup of any kind TWO weeks afterwards. It is not going to be a pretty month for me. I am warning you now! My glasses are so out dated that that week alone will be an adjustment. I think I might feel like I am on the biggest makeover come March!

Weekly recap

Where are my kids?!
Here we are!
Silly faces
Papa gave Wyatt his first football helmet.. not sure if he will put it back on, it was a struggle getting it off over his ears! Although, not a bad idea when trying t teach him how to ride his bike with no training wheels!
o
Miss Abby- Emily sent EJ her Abby princess outfit for her birthday, she immediately put it on and wore it everywhere.. she takes after Emily already.
(Yes, that is a pacifier...hope Dr. Nabulsi never reads my blogs!)

What a week.. we have all been under the weather so hopefully we are on the road to recovery. I cannot get my energy level back to normal and with a 2 and 3 yr old that is not a good combination. Regardless I have decided we need a behavior sticker chart.. Wyatt apparently does not listen at CBS, he is to busy playing with his buddy Jay. They get so excited seeing each other they apparently have no regard for anyone else....so here comes the behavior chart. The same day I was putting the chart together I had a kid cut through our side street to miss a light, and got on my bumper and flipped me off while trying to pull in my driveway. Normally, I would let it go.. but after having dealing with a 3 yr old attitude all week, I thought, "Oh, he knows better." So I pulled back out and followed him home. He had MHS soccer stickers all over his car... He came over and I asked him why he flipped me off and his reply was "You cut me off." (hardly!) So, I asked him if that is how he deals with all situations, "flipping off people with two small kids in the car and riding their bumper?" I was furious.. never raised my voice... but I am trying so hard to teach a 3 yr old manners and the thought of Wyatt growing up and being so disrespectful just set me off. So Zach called the MHS soccer coach (who is a friend) and said he would take care of it. So am I loosing my mind.. quite possibly! This parenting job is just getting harder and harder. Some days I feel like I have failed.. overwhelmed and then there are those moments where you are so proud and it makes it all alright!

I revised my church bitch session.. realized I should not type when I am angry! I do need to mention June has figured out how to climb out of her crib at night and wants to sleep with Wyatt. IS this alright? Wyatt was well over 3 before we had to deal with the big boy bed.. but June seems to break the mold.. so I guess we need to get rid of the crib and officially call her a big girl. The thought that your children are past baby beds is sad... I guess they really are growing up.
