Bad mom

Well, last night was rough. I had been to the dentist earlier in the day and got drilled on. Needless to say, I was in pain. Go figure that it was also Glen's first night back to work after a long vacation, so it was just me and Carson. Things were going well. He ate dinner, we took care of Brooklyn and I let him watch some cartoons after Wheel was over. Then came the trouble. I asked him to go get me a diaper and then he could watch more cartoons. He refused, of course, and got no cartoons. That made him mad, which in turn made me mad. Why wouldn't he just get me the stupid diaper. I wasn't asking that much of him. We ended up taking Brooklyn potty one last time and I changed his diaper and put him in clean pj's. He didn't cooperate there either and I ended up smacking his hand, for which I felt horrible afterwards. He forgot about it when we went to bed, but I still felt horrible about it. I'm not one to smack his hand, but frustration and pain got the better of me. He was totally fine, but mommy guilt got me! I know I'm not the only mom this has happened to, but it rarely happens. I think I've only smacked his little hand one other time. I think we're going to have to start introducing time outs. It's the only solution for these terrible two's that we seem to be encountering more and more these days. Guess we'll wait and see...

Awesome weekend

What a great weekend! Not that I don't enjoy my weekends, but this one seemed particularly great. Saturday morning was Carson's first soccer practice. He was soo cute trying to do the things his teacher wanted him to do. Of course, he got bored doing some things and quit trying. But he was cute! Glen went to Bloomington with Adam right after soccer, so Carson and I went to lunch with Glen's mom. After lunch we went home and I did some cleaning while Carson watched cartoons. I tried to get him to take a nap, but of course that didn't happen. Around 2ish we went shopping with Suzanne. If our hubbies can go out of town w/o us, then we can go shopping. Later that night, Carson and I went to dinner with Suzanne and our friend Dave. We got to eat at Red Robin. That is some good food!!! Carson actually ate, so that was also a positive!!

By Sunday, I think we were all exhausted. We literally all laid around and did nothing till about 4:00. We got motivated just enough to run to Best Buy and then come back home and lay around some more. Carson actually ate lunch and dinner yesterday so were very excited about this. He hasn't really eaten much in the last few weeks, so to eat 3 meals in a row without a fight is huge!!!

Now on to what I'm sure will be a non-productive week since the boss man will be out of town for the majority of it. Then on to a 3 day weekend. Doesn't get much better than that!!!!!

Nothing new

Not much new, but I haven't written since Monday so I thought I'd better write something.

Carson starts Soccer Tots tomorrow. That is very exciting. I really hope that he will get out there and enjoy it and not stick to me like super glue. I want him to be interactive with the other kids and enjoy himself. That's the whole point of doing this...to get him active with other kids. His speech team calls it a transition step. I just hope he transitions well. He needs to get used to being with other kids since he doesn't go to day care.

Glen starts his vacation tomorrow. You better believe he's excited. Yes, he has a honey do list and no, I did not give it to him. He gives himself projects to do during one of his vacations. And fortunately or unfortunately for him (depending on how you look at it) he has to get his list done this go around. We actually have plans to be out of town for his other two vacations this year. We weren't planning on either of them, but who's gonna say no to a Monday night Dallas Cowboys football game in their brand new $1.3 billion stadium and a Notre Dame football game? Certainly not Glen since those are his two favorite teams. Both games are a dream come true for him. If he were to die the day after the ND football game, he would most certainly die a happy man. He's said it before and I'm sure he'll say until he's at the game!! I'm sure he'd much rather go to the ND football game with a friend, but I'll be darned if I have to sit at home and listen to him yell at this team season after season and not reap some benefit from it. I will miss Carson terribly (the first time we'll have been out of town and away from him for more than one night) but it will be good for us.

I love how when I don't have anything to say I end up writing a book. It's 7:50p.m. now, so I guess that means it's bed time. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow with the soccer game.

Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. I know I did. Just getting to spend time with my munchkin is a good day anyday! I have to say, however, that I was just a little disappointed in my hubby this time around. I wasn't expecting any gifts, but I was expecting a couple of his usually funny cards. He forgot and didn't even get me a card from Carson. I, of course, blew it off and just told him not to expect anything on Father's Day. He was fine with that cuz he new what he had done. Of course I will get him some cards for Father's Day because that's who I am. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't.

Short blog this time around...just wanted to vent a little frustration on the card situation.

Workless work day

So what is a workless work day you ask? A workless work day is one in which you show up for work, end up at your boss' house still thinking you're going to work, and end up babysitting the house while the ADT guy is there. You end up watching tv, playing on the computer, (ok...facebook and blogging) and basically doing nothing while still getting paid for it. Sounds good, right? Well, for the most part it is. But part of me feels as though I should be working or at least at the office where I have more stuff to do. Here I just have my computer. No filing can be done, no faxing can be done. If I'm gonna have a day off, I'd at least like to be able to what I want to do. Who knows? Maybe I'll get outta here early and I'll be able to go home and do what I want. Which is basically nothing...relaxing before Ann leaves me alone with Carson. Trying to figure out what we're gonna do for dinner, and hoping to give him a bath without too much fussing. That won't happen, but one can dream. Here's hoping to a more work filled day tomorrow.
