Tis the season
Yes, I am still here. Things have been hectic. Em's been sick, then my family came for Thanksgiving, and now Em has a double case of pink eye. I spent three hours in the hospital with her yesterday morning because when I called the doctor about having her seen they stated we would have to wait a day as they had no appointments. Ahhh, did they not hear how both of my child's eyes were matted shut with mucus? I don't fucking think that can wait 24 hours dipwads...
I have finished Christmas shopping for Em. Tis the season for miracles after all, is it not? Now I just need to buy a house to put it all in. I have no clue what to buy for everyone else in our family. Keith's parents never like anything that anyone buys for them and my parents just go buy everything they want. Then there is the whole having to deal with assholes while you shop. And then let's not forget a sick 2.5 year old monster that HATES shopping... I wonder why I haven't gotten anything done yet?
Lately Keith and I have been dealing with a Turkey that does not want to sleep in her bed. We have never had problems of any sort with Emily (Excluding the newborn age that everyone goes through), going to bed in the past. Not even when she went from her crib to her bed, nothing. I don't know if it's because she doesn't feel good, has teeth coming in, or is "scared" about something. Whatever it is is causing her to have fits about going to bed at night and sneaking in bed with us in the middle of the night. I bought her a lamp a few days ago so that her room would be more lit up at night.... still doesn't want to sleep in there. I am actually thinking of buying a small TV so she can be distracted by that. This thing she is going through is causing all of us to be tired and grumpy and I am just simply tired of only having the edge of the bed to sleep on. How does a 35 inch 26 pound person take up so much damn space on a bed anyway?
I am so sick of people asking me lately about damn potty training. Is there some damn rule that states your child is a retard if they are not potty trained by the age of 3? Last time I checked Em was not turning 3 until April... Finally when my family was here they got to see a bit of the drama that unfolds when Em uses the potty... Maybe now at least they have some insight as to why the process is going a bit slow.
If I haven't said it enough my daughter is a creature of habit and is beyond the point of any normal stubbornness. That does not equal fun times at potty training. Everything has to be done the same and her way. If not then she will have a fit from hell. She has to take her pants down, her diaper off, move the stool, put her Dora potty on the the big potty... IF GOD FORBID YOU TRY TO HELP HER YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEVIL'S WRATH! Let's just say she gets all that done on her own without any problems and she actually goes PeePee. Then we have to go through the drama (screaming, crying), of her getting OFF the damn potty. She doesn't want to leave the damn potty... How the hell am I supposed to fix that people? It is such an exhausting process that I simply don't want to fucking do it. I am pretty sure she won't be wearing Pampers when she is going to college so I know at some point it will happen people. I refuse to have a damn fight with her every hour. So people of the world, stop fucking asking me about Potty training and how it's going... It's not and I don't give a shit. I don't need advise, I am not an idoit and neither is she. I know about the damn stickers, the snacks, the potty dancing, making sure she watches me go... I don't need to hear that shit again and again or have you asking me about it. I have kept her alive for over two years now so I must have some common sense... I am pretty damn sure I can figure this out as well so please don't feel the need to tell me how you did it or give me some "good ideas". Trust me when I tell you I know all that shit but I just don't feel like fucking doing it right now. If you think it's that damn important for her to be pissing in a pot by April and you have some timetable in your head that you think I am not properly following then come and over and do it your damn self... I'll be happy not to deal with the drama, crying, screaming, and laying on the floor yelling at me. It will be a nice break. And when you come out flustered and pissed I will try not to say " I told you so"... Meaning I think I know my daughter best.
Like I said, my family was here visiting for a few days. It was fun. Hectic, chaotic, and loud with three kidos in the house but it was fun. Thanksgiving was nice and yummy as well. It was great being with everyone, I miss them all the time but now it's back to the routine. Well, it will be once Em's eyes are no longer green, crusty, and doesn't have a line of snot running down towards her mouth. So, that's about it people for now. I have to play catch up in the Blog world... Later
