Gotta love em.....

it's been a while since my last blog...so I thought I'd bring you this cute lil something my 5 year old did this morning.
He's eating breakfast, french toast, and while he's eating he decides to read the back of a pop tart box. To his surprise....they have SUGAR!! lol He goes "mom look at all this sugar in these things, that's why I get crazy", then after reading the rest of the chart, proceeds to say..... "umm mom these things have sugar AND fat in them..you can't buy these anymore they're not good for us!" How crazy is that?!?!!?!??
My kids, although they love love love their sugary snacks like the rest.....are constantly telling me what's good for them and what's not and REALLY DO PREFER real fruits over the sugar goods and chips....
Gotta love em! and I do!! hehe

ok so here we are at IHOP last night..the beginning started out just as the rest of my week. We was seated then a couple was seated and then a family of 6 was seated. Well, I look up and happen to notice a waitress was at the party of six (which is 4 kids, all probably under the age of 6, and 2 adults) taking their order, so I was staying calm and nice, thinking ok she just didn't notice us due to our seating, she'll turn around to leave their table and come to ours. NOPE! She proceeds to the other table seated after us, the couple, which I then realize they already have their drinks. SO at this time I'm getting frustrated, my day had been crap..btw NEVER, NEVER go to Meineke. SO the host comes to seat more people, and I get his attention asking where our waitress is and why is it people seated after us have already been waited on and have their drinks. SO FINALLY, we have a waitress. She takes our order, don't worry I was polite! Our food finally comes...we all ordered some sort of breakfast with the exception of the youngest. Thank goodness he only had chicken and apples. My oldest was trying to be a greedy and was offering trades of food, bc he just wanted everyone elses food. Well, to a five year old he doesn't hear trade he hears, oh you're going to share your food with me..lol So when he didn't agree to the terms of the trade, the oldest proceeds to eat ALL is own food..the nerve of him..lol Well, the five year old noticed, and begins to get upset bc he wanted his toast..mind you he had already been not feeling well. SO when what he wanted was getting eaten, he began to cry! food in mouth and all....so guess what happened...he began to choke..I'm trying to calm him down, then you hear that LOUD underlying deep inside burp that comes right before it all comes up....So, yes, we're are in the middle of a restaurant, that already is looking at us bc he's throwing a tantrum for his brothers piece of toast, and here it all comes...I grab the basket his food came in, hold it to his mouth, he throws up his chicken, clean his face and we all proceed to finish our meals. Is that a STRONG stomach or what..lol
Well that was the ending to my crazy day yesterday! Also, my stomach isn't that strong in all situations, there are some that'll take me out and have me puking right along with ya!
Hope everyone's week/days went better than mine!!
Have a great weekend!

ughh!

I need a vacation, but they don't stay out of trouble long enough for me to even finalize plans!!
Should I just go, because hey, maybe we all just need to get away...or should I suffer the punishment of making them behave long enough to get the privilege?????

I don't care what anyone says, putting the kids on punishment, aka grounding, is more of punishing me than them!! Why does it work that way??

Chaos!

I always thought the older my kids got, the easier things would get. Boy was I wrong!!! I can't seem to take them anywhere any more. If you know me, we go and go and go...so it's not like they're stuck in the house 24/7 and only get let out for special occasions. Is there ever a time that things get easier???

On a lighter note..It's Snowing!!!

I love to see it coming down, but lately can't wait for its' quick retreats either..lol
Hopefully we get a nice snow day tomorrow to relax; whatever that may be..lol, referring to my 1st paragraph....
