Daily Oooo's Tues Mar 16th

[hondachicc]

Good morning ladies....

Sorry I was MIA yesterday...well in the Ooo's I was....I did manage to do some gallery love....but I swear, it was one of those "running in circles" days!!! I had my computer on and signed in all day...but very little time on it....My phone just rang off the hook yesterday....I had mounds of laundry to fold and put away...which took me until 8pm last night.....that's what I mean...I started it Yesterday morning....why did it take me so long????

I have a small problem with my one baby, Ayden....for weeks now he has been developing a temper....sort of odd for a 7 month old to throw a temper tantrum like he is....but he really does!!!! He is mostly a GREAT baby, very sweet, doesn't cry much at all, he is easily scheduled, eats well...but about once or twice a week, he will just get mad about something and start screaming...and when I say screaming...I mean screaming....He has the absolute loudest, most shrill voice I have ever heard a baby have, so it's very unerving for me...it gets Savannah really uspet too. I try to calm him, and he slings his head frails his arms..as if he is saying get out of my face....so I end up taking him to the playpen and letting him scream it out....after about 10 minutes alone, he is fine...I mention it to his mom and she says "I know, he has my disposition"....I tend to think that there may be a little something going on. All the babies we have had in our family, and that I have ever been around all of my life, I have NEVER NEVER seen one do this (not at this young age)...I mean they all throw a fit, want you to pick them up, stop crying as soon as you do...or they are sick...easy to tell....It's harder to explain than if you see it...he is throwing an all out and out TEMPER TANTRUM!!!! The thing that makes it so strange is that he is otherwise SUCH AN EASY GOING baby!!!! Savannah is the high strung one.. Well, we call her HIGH MAINTENANCE!!!

OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I signed up for the OH SHOOT photography class over at Jessica Spragues!!!! I am super excited....I want to learn about my "beast".....I saved my Christmas money...I am so glad I did!!!! I thought I would put it up for a new lens...but I think I better LEARN my camera first!!!!

Other big news here...we now have an official wedding date for DH's Middle daughter...JUNE 19th!! That will be an exciting week...Just worked out that DH is on vacation, we are going the first weekend to NC for 3 days...and then it will be all wedding stuff the rest of the week!! Cameran is going to be the Ring Bearer...HOW CUTE!!! When Sharon and Geoff got married, Cameran was the best man...I love the little guys in a tux...I still have Cameran's tux from Sharon's Wedding...It's so LITTLE!!!

Okay....guess I have rambled enough....HAHAHA..guess you are happy I didn't come in here yesterday!!!!!

Be right back for personals!!!

Good morning!!

Well, I had a stressful evening and morning but everything is okay. I did get to bed early. Headache again. go figure. Stupid sinuses!! Sick of them!! Do you think I could have them removed? Maybe if I had no sinuses they couldn't get stuffy. Hmmmm...

Anyway, about my stressful evening and morning...I have told you guys about my neighbor and her bi-polar daughter and the custody battle. Well, they have a restraining order against her so that she cannot come to the house. She has made threats against my neighbors husband, she doesn't like me at all or my husband, has physically assaulted her aunt who lives down the street and has tried to hit a neighbor with a car. She is not a safe person, hence the restraining order. Well, yesterday the grandkids were talking about how their mom had come to the house yesterday. Not cool. She had kept it a secret and it was not a good thing that she was over. It gave the daughter the illusion that she was one up. After an hour or two it occured to me (don't ask why it took so long to occur to me, I'm slow sometimes) that my daughter was there. I freaked out. I immediately set up alternate care and sent a message saying that Addie said that her daughter was at the house. Then we all talked about it and helped my neighbor's husband understand that he had the right to be angry and say something about it. Then this morning Addie and her big mouth made a big announcement that she wasn't going next door and so my neighbor reacted badly because she was hurt. It kinda sucked. But then she called and we talked for awhile and I just let her know that I love her but I have to take care of my daughter first and I needed some time before I just left my daighter there for the day again. It is just a sucky situation. The thing that is so hard is that people in general always let the people that tear them down affect them so much more than the people that build them up. Why is that? My neighbor is surrounded by strong supportive people but lets herself be manipulated and torn down by her daughter who is hurtful and often so cruel. It breaks my heart. I know our children have a grip on our heart like no other but I hope and pray that if my children are ever in a situation where they act in a way that is just wrong I am strong enough to not enable them in that and can love them from a distance. I have seen this not just with my neighbor but with other friends of mine also. Heartbreaking.

Okay...I'm done with that little bit of word vomit. Addie was so excited to get dropped off with Laura today. She used to nanny for us but we let her go when we decided it was time for Addie to start daycare. It was a good time for everybody and it was amicable. We still have a good relationship with her. She moved out of town but is in town housesitting her parents' house right now. Addie was so excited to go and play with her and her little boy today. Ethan heard about it and started crying. He was so upset that he didn't get to go. Poor kid. He loves her so much. Laura is actually the one who got me into digiscrap. She has been on a CT for Shawna Clingerman at the Sweet Shoppe for years and she taught me how to use PS. She used to do some designing but then just wasn't feeling it anymore and quit. Now she lives out in BFE and can't hardly CT because she can't DL kits but is able to run the forums and stuff, so Shawna lets her do that since she's been on her CT for so long. It is fun looking at her stuff because her style is a lot different than mine.

Anyway...

LindaW - temper tantrums at 7 months? Wow!! At least he'll cry it out if you leave him be. How crazy that the mama simply says "oh, he gets that from me." as though it is perfectly normal. I hope he gets over it and it doesn't turn into an issue later. I'd be a bit a concerned. I'm not sure if I'd be more concerned about the baby or the mama.

Linda - Wow...that is scary! Nick went through a phase but he was much older....(((Hugs))). I hope it's just a phase and it goes by quickly! Yeah on the wedding date!!! Wooot! You will have to let us know how Jessica's class is!!

Clara - Yikes!!! I know that was awkward but you were totally right to do that. You daughter comes first. ((hugs)) I hope it all works out in the end.

Today Nick has off of school and is spending the day with his Pop Pop! I am doing housework - enjoying the sunshine and trying to catch up on life!!! Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!!!!!!!!

It's late afternoon and I'm just making it into the Daily O's. Shaun had a doctor's appointment this morning but we were in and out quickly. Then we did some shopping...Sydney has all at once outgrown everything! And one of our stores was doing a Goodwill coupon drive...so loaded up tons of clothes that Sydney had outgrown...and then purchased tons more. Then we did a Costco run. Came home and I went back in town for a haircut and color. I'll upload pics later.
