Good morning!

Well, on top of buying a new car, we just signed the contract to have our brand new house built! We are so excited. If Guy gets deployed, the kids and I will be in our own home, if he gets reassigned, we'll still stay here, since I have doctors, psychiatrists, hospitals and psychologists who already...

Wow. Stressful couple of days...

Gabby has had such an attitude, I would swear she was hitting her rebellious teen years way too early. She screams and throws a tantrum when I comb her hair. This morning it was so bad that she actually hit me. I lost it and had no alternative but to spank her. I hate spanking the kids, but there... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a quickie...

Why is it so hard to get an 8 year old child to clean his room? Or a 3 year old girl to understand that telling US "NO" is in not in her best interests? Or, for that matter, a 13 year old boy to understand that his chores need to be done every day??? Sheesh. Gabby recently had her very first sleep... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry it's been soooo long!

OMG. Has it really been since before Christmas that I last blogged?? Good grief am I slipping, lol. The drama didn't end until Christmas day because Caulin got stuck at the airport in Chicago overnight due to blizzards. We even had one here, go figure! I was so distraught I could barely see...

It's almost Christmas!

I can't wait to get to wrapping gifts. We haven't bothered yet because we can't put the gifts under the tree yet anyway due to the kittens. Everything would be unwrapped within minutes. LOL. They are such little terrors. As we speak, Carnage is in the bathroom because he won't stop climbing the... Sign in to see full entry.

Adding to the mix.

Okay, for those of you who have followed my ramblings for awhile, you know know all about my three kids, my four cats, and the rat (Caulin, Marcus, Gabby; Chaos, Mayhem, Rampage, Carnage; Patches, respectively). Well, hopefully today, or by next week, we'll be adding a Pug puppy to the mix! I am so... Sign in to see full entry.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Because of a recent additional diagnosis of PTSD, I have started Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The first assignment was to choose a traumatic event and write about it. This is what I presented to my therapist today, and she had tears in her eyes when I finished reading it to her. My second step is... Sign in to see full entry.

Home with sick boys... Poor dears.

Well, since both boys were sick, and Gabby is the only child who doesn't take a bus to school (daycare), I figured I'd keep her home, too, and sleep in. Hmmm... that didn't quite work out as planned. Gabby came into my room at her usual time, flipped on the overhead light and announced as loudly as... Sign in to see full entry.

Gabby cracks me up!

I'm not sure how many of you have kids, and/or watch cartoons (Guy and I watch cartoons even when the kids are gone), but our favorite cartoon in the world is "Phineas and Ferb". The quirky "evil" guy is named Dr. Doofenschmirtz, and whenever the kids do something foolish, Guy will call them... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you kidding me? Insomnia??

Okay. I'm on so many meds at bedtime that cause severe drowsiness, and yet I cannot sleep for the life of me. Maybe I'm too excited that the kids go back to school tomorrow and I have the house to myself. Maybe I'm nervous that Christmas is approaching way too quickly and I have tons of mailing to...
