Today, I Shall Think Different

Broccoli

Last night we had Broccoli for dinner. While fixing the kids their plates they actually started fighting over who had more broccoli, this meaning they WANTED more. I must be doing something right.

Nap Time

Brandon has a tendency to sneak over to my bed and watch tv while he is to be taking a nap. Sleeping in my bed at nap time, fine, watching tv instead of taking a nap, not fine.

So I started taking the remote with me and just laying it at the bottom of the stairs so I remember to take it back up with me at some point. Today, somehow, Brandon managed to open the door, sneak up and down the stairs and retrieve the remote from the steps. All this while I'm literally like 5 feet away.

I heard voices and figured he had just gotten up and turned the tv on manually (imagine that...lol). So I go up stairs and he's sitting there enjoying is cartoons holding onto the remote for dear life. I asked him where he got it and he said that he went down stairs and got it. "You never told me I couldn't go get it Mommy."
Case in point, I must remember to be more specific next time.

I Wanna' go to School!

I signed Brandon up for an exercise type class at out local rec center and his first class was last week. He did great for the first 15-20 minutes and then it was hit or miss as to if he was participating or not. I didn't feel too bad, there were some other children that had no clue there was even a class going on.

After class was over we started talking about how we are going to pay attention next week (I think even a bribe came up, hehe) and he asked if he could go to his class now. I explained to him that that was his class. He then asked me where the tables and chairs were and his teacher. It's not that kind of class buddy!

So today I remind him about his class and he asked if I could just find him a class with a REAL teacher. "I'm ready to go to school Mom, I'm a big boy now." WAHH! Tears and protest coming from me but I just smile and say "Yes honey, you are a big boy now aren't you." "But your still going to finish this class.....lol"

Dr.'s Office

Am I really that difficult to talk to? I'm finding it more and more frustrating to talk to doctor's offices. They act like they are going out of their way to help me. Um, isn't this your job? The staff at these places are horrid, awful and mean. Like I woke up this morning to call your office just to piss you off. I need help and you are offering a service. Aghhh. I'm sorry that me having a problem is inconveniencing you from drinking your Starbucks.
