30 Days to Change

1/07/2011 0 Comments
My sister is doing this wonderful blog hop and I am going to attempt maintaining it. Here is what this hop is about: This is a monthly Blog Hop with weekly updates. Your first post should be your goal for the month, why it is important to you and what steps you are hoping to take to accomplish it. Then 2 updates, then the final week will be for telling us how you think you did. You don’t have to remember that. Each week,she will remind you what the post is supposed to be about.

Anyway, pick a goal, any goal, write a blog post about it, link up and let’s all support each other toward actually accomplishing something this year!

My goal this month is to do more activities with all of my children.

Some may see this and think that I am lazy. What I mean by this goal is that I want to try to do things individually with each child. When you live in a household with children that have special needs they tend to take the spotlight. They constantly need your attention and the other children tend to back down and just go with the flow. 

I don't want them to back down. I don't want them to melt into my background. I don't know if it is just me but I feel as if I use all my patience on my youngest and then it is near to none with the others. I want to enjoy spending time with them. So to start my 30 days of change I am going to try to spend some time with each of my children doing something they enjoy. This is partly why I am in so much pain today because I played Just Dance 2 on the Wii last night with my daughter.

I hope you decide to join along and feel free to give me ideas too. I definitely will need support through this.

Sick and Coughing in New York

12/05/2010 3 Comments
I am having one of those days where I don't want to do anything. My head feels stuffed and I have a pounding headache, my voice is barely a voice, and I have NO energy. Apples and Autobots asked me how I do it and I think today I am seriously questioning this. I mean we can look at this is two different ways. I can learn how to get my children to do things without even slightly raising my voice or they run wild for a few days. LOL.. I never said I was perfect.

My boys have been playing Mario on the Wii for almost 2 1/2 hours which is NOT normally ok. But, it is keeping their mouths shut them occupied and content which means that they are not doing other mindless things. They could be stuffing my toilet full of toilet paper or seeing what marbles flushed down the toilet does. I mean hey the video game can't be too bad. Can it?  At least they are happy. 

How do parents survive through sickness? I think I may even order pizza for dinner and for lunch I allowed them to have Peanut Butter and Fluff (sounds good right? Keep reading) with cheese and blueberry preserves. Gross..... But the boys ate it. They had Oatmeal for breakfast though and Ramen for dinner last night. I am really sick, and my kids are paying for it. Cringe... I usually cook a decent meal for them and ensure that they get their veggies but the last two days it has been impossible to do. 

Another cringe factor is that both my boys are still running around in a shirt from yesterday and undies. They aren't even dressed and it is 1:30 in the afternoon. Eeekkkk.... I know it is horrible. I need my voice and my energy back soon!!! My kids are gonna turn into junk food finatics and video game junkies. LOL I think I need some hot tea, Nyquil, a comfy blanket and my bed.
