speaking of getting too much for Christmas... I think you can put me in that boat.  I'm kind of ashamed to be honest, because I wanted to be "good" and not over due it.

(here comes my justification, cause you know I've been justifying a storm in my head)

Their toys are old.  Even I'm tired of them.  I plan to box/donate/pitch probably 50% or more.  They've made this jump into less preK toys (except Thomas, only now they don't want generic trains, only Thomas trains).

So yeah, I'm trying to keep the same overall amount in our house, but trade out.

That's my justification at lease.  Sounds rational enough in my head not to make me utterly embarassed.

Good morning!

I'm like Melissa, I start out with it spraying down my back then I turn around.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Koda's temp is down to normal with the Tylenol.  I totally expect it to jump as it wears off, but for now it is normal!

We're fixing to leave to go to SG's Thanksgiving program.  Presley's not at school, she wanted to go with us, lol

Then we're taking the older 2 to Kenneth's parents for a couple of days.

I think I'm going to try and get the Christmas tree up while I just have one child.  I've never put it up before Thanksgiving,  but I think I am this year.

If my tree was here, it would already be up.  I am so excited this year :)

Morning

So just to explain my facebook status, Quint is a psycho and found out all about John by one stupid thing I posted on his wall. He has since freaked out and told me that if he (John) goes anywhere near his kids he will have us both arrested (serious :eyeroll but I am respecting that, I had no intention of him spending quality time with my kids yet anyway. ) He has totally taken the low road and decided that rather then be civil he is going to call me names and threaten to take my kids, I am sure this was prompted by the fact that I not only refused to have sex with him but because I also now have a boyfriend. Whatever, I am scared of him but I know I am not doing anything wrong and that I am stronger then he thinks I am.

I turn in the shower and it has to be as hot as I can possibly stand it.

So, I heard from my the company i was interviewing with yesterday.

Still sounds good. They want to meet again next week. I'm assuming it's an offer this time since it is with the person I already met with.

Still not positive I'll take it. Would need to be a great offer.

can I just say my beautiful daughter has almost turned into a terror?

She's at the corner of Precious Street and Terror Avenue and I'm thinking she's going to make a wrong turn!!!

Last night Jake was sitting nicely building something with blocks.  She got a big monster truck from his room, walked up behind him and started beating him on the head with it over and over.  He was wailing.  She started beating harder.

At daycare the other day they said she will not listen!

Our girls are twins as always!

Josie's totally taken Terror Avenue.

I don't know how to handle it!

Kate is so rotten.  She will eat all her blueberries and throw her plate or bowl onto the floor.  She will finish her drink and toss the cup.  She will be doing something and we will ask her to stop and she just looks at us and proceeds.  If she doesn't get her way or a toy she thinks she needs she wails at the top of her lungs.  In the truck she will be pointing and saying "want dat" at something and I have no clue what she's pointing at and will tell her to use her words (all while driving and trying not to kill us) and she will always end up screaming and crying.  Riding in the vehicle w/ my two little ones has been trying lately - someone is always pitching a fit.

 Here's how our days go:

Me: "Josie, come here"
Josie: roars laughing and runs away

Mike: "Josie, don't throw your food on the floor"
Josie: "No!" followed by her hitting  Mike, quickly followed by a "I'm sorry, Daddy" when she sees the look on my face

She grabs Charlie by his face and scratches

She's silly at nap time and when they tell us about it, she grins and says "I hilarious. It was funny."

When she doesn't get her way or when we "yell" at her, she does what we call the fire truck - it starts slow and turns into a full on wail, big tears, etc.

she insists on picking  out all her own clothes. all. and if I make a suggestion, she picks the opposite. she won't wear brown, only pink. Unless I want her to wear pink. She does not fall for reverse psychology. at. all.

She teases Charlie all the time and makes him cry. "You are NOT a big boy". He bawls. "you can NOT do xyz"
