No wait...THIS is sad :(


I am sitting here after a 3 HOUR! nap reading the blogs I follow and ALL 3 of my closest peeps' blogs were about their kid. 2 of which were about 17-18 month old kids who were in the stages of jibberish blabbering...and I got to thinking...I TOTALLY MISS THAT STAGE! I wasn't blogging at that time in Will's life so I can't really remember the sound of his jibberish without bustin' out the video tapes. These 2 blogs were letters directly to their children...maybe I don't do that b/c Will and I CAN actually have a conversation and by the time I sit down to blog I am exhausted from numerous talks with him. But I'm gonna give it a whirl!


Dear Will,

Right now MawMaw just got up from a 3 hour nap and you were so quiet and just played on the computer the entire time. I only heard you make a few sounds which included things blowing up and guns shooting but it was all virtual and no one really got hurt. I clapped loudly when I woke up so you would come in and check out what that noise was and BOO! I sat up and screamed and you screamed too and then you took my phone and ran back to the computer laughing all the way. I made you a peanut butter and jelly and you didn't want that. You said you were ready for dessert. Where do these lines come from anyway?? iCarly? Fanboy & ChumChum? Spongebob? Probably. Anywho, you ate it on your tray in front of Dora and then proceeded to throw your tray around the living room and then hide behind it like some Army soldier and then popped up periodically to shoot me. Now you are playing your new Cars game on Playstation. I am amazed at how you can turn on all the right buttons and channels and hook up everything and it works. I get confused if I am at someone's house and they have more than 2 remotes.

At this stage in your life you are obsessed with cellphones and hotwheels and you WANT everything. I have even stopped taking you grocery shopping with me to avoid the meltdowns and potential beatings that may occur from asking for everything. But, honestly, I don't think you even notice that it's been WEEKS since you've been to "Wool-mart." Also, you have started saying "I'm bored" at random times and everytime you say it, it totally throws me off guard. What 4 y.o. Says That!! Oh and you are NOT liking your room at all. You want an orange one. It doesn't surprise me b/c your favorite color is orange but...I really hate painting, but will do it for you Stinky. You cry everynight and want me to sleep with you but you refuse to nap with me when it means daylights-a-burnin'. Although I know this is a terrible habit to get into, I can't help eating it up b/c I seriously have to force you to hug me or give me smooches; but, something magical happens when the sun goes down...I don't turn from this princess to an ogre or anything but you, all the sudden, get all schmoopy on me and I LOVE IT!

Well, right now, you informed me that you are "bored" which I know is a lie but I do feel sorta guilty being on the computer any longer...actually, I need to get off here b/c you have stolen my "lenses" and I'm getting a headache. But I love you and all your selfishness, violence and independence. I just hope you remember as you grow older that you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you or steal their glasses. Love, MawMaw

Battle of the Will

So I got to spend another day fighting tooth and nail for the power with my 4 year old, Will. It's like he just thinks he can do whatever, whenever he wants. I'll just call his name, and I know he can hear me, and he just doesn't answer me. I seriously have to get loud for him to acknowledge me. And then he says things back to me like "it's not nice to yell mawmaw" or "I'm not your friend anymore." What the hell do I say to that?! Usually I say something sarcastic like "big shocker" but how is that helpful?? Its not and I know it but its hard trying to teach him a lesson while I'm exhausted and brain dead. Especially after going at it with him day in and day out, and my husband hasn't been home a lot with his new job...so its just me. Even when I ask him who the boss is...he says me but then that doesn't mean anything to him, apparently. And he is obsessed with Playstation right now. He can literally play it for hours and ...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

This Christmas season started for me in like September. That was the first time I saw a store putting up their ornaments to sell and I thought "Geeesch, it's not even October!" But I did find Em's ornament that day, at that store and it's perfect. Anywho, when the "real" Christmas season rolled around I was bombarded by texts from women talking about "christmas decorations is gonna cause us to get divorced" and "I hate how he puts the lights up outside" or "I hope he doesn't expect me to wrap all these presents" or "he wants to just buy everyone a snuggie." I laughed a lot at these texts because Brian does leave the shopping to me (thank God) and actually will pretty much do anything I ask him to do (and he's quite the little wrapping perfectionist I might add). But the decoration fights/arguments, I finally understood...I couldn't recall doing it in the past but for some reason, we did this year. Anywh...
