Ok soooo I know it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. The thing is we have been working through a lot of stuff. Harry got a new job and he is no longer up my ass 24/7. Now we actually have conversation that do not involve arguing and we enjoy seeing each other because he's never here. With it being summer I have been doing as much as I can with the kids and trying to pound it into their heads that somebody has to clean up after them it might as well be them! ;0) Every time I have to pick up something of theirs I make them clean all day. I know I am a mom I am supposed to pick up after my kids blah blah blah! UM NO I refuse to raise lazy kids who want nothing more than to live at home with mommy for the rest of their lives because she does it all. They will be self sufficient and clean hard working people when I'm done with them because that's what will get them the farthest when the are old enough to do it on their own. I love my children with all my heart and I can't imagine them growing up and not having the know how or the want to do for themselves. I want them to be self motivated people who do without asking 'What do I do now?". Don't get me wrong I tell them every chance I get not to grow up to fast. I make sure they know that once they get to a certain point that there is no turning back. I tell them to have fun, play, be idiots and enjoy every stinking minute of it because once your my age and you do things like that people look at you like you've lost your damn mind! I do as much as I can with my kids which isn't much because every time I do something with them I hurt myself, lol. The last thing I did was TRY to go down the slip-n-slide yeah that ended well! One broken tailbone and a month of healing later I still have to sit a certain way to make sure the pain doesn't flare up. It was fun though I loved every minute of it and the looks on their faces when I did it! Ok I am going to save some for later because I am rambling now. Have a wonderful day all! Hope to c-ya soon ;0)
