Troublesome

12th January 2010 | 18 Comments

Since I’ve been back at work, there’s been some significant changes in Maddie’s behavior. First, she’s much more involved with her dad. Previously, when it was just me and Maddie for 80% of the day, she was very much a mama’s girl. To the point of excluding Gerald and hurting his feelings. Now that I [...]


Halp!

Maddie’s a hyper spaz an energetic child. She loves to run and yell and play. However, I’m not an energetic mom. I’m more of a lazy mom, really, and I need to be more active with Maddie. What do you guys do with your toddlers? There’s a playground in our neighborhood that I can take [...]


Potty Time & Tears

I think we’re about ready to try potty training boot camp again. Last time, we managed almost an entire day and then Maddie got upset after an accident. She started crying and saying she didn’t want to use the potty when we’d ask her to go. We backed off immediately and told her we’d try [...]

Maddie’s ready to use the potty all the time like a Big Girl and she’s ready to wear Big Girl Underpants all the time. However, mama is totally not ready for these things. I understand diapers. I don’t mind changing them or buying them. I’m confident that I can handle diaper changes when Maddie and [...]

I think I’ve broken up with my blog or something. Lately, I just can’t muster up the “give a damn,” to well, give a damn. I can’t think of anything to post about or witty comments to leave on your blogs. I’ve just sort of lost my blogging mojo. Maddie’s two-year-old-douchebaggery has escalated to heretofore [...]


Not quite as pathetic anymore

Thank you all for the sympathetic comments. I wallowed in them for a full 24 hours. I’m fine now, so you can go back to your lurking/smart ass comments. I still don’t know anything about The Stones Situation. The sonographer called in sick on Wednesday, so bad luck for me. The dr is sending me [...]


So, um, yeah

Things are better here. Maddie’s over her cold/demonic possession. Also, there may have been some PMS involved, but I’m not naming any names. This latest cold meant that Maddie missed two days of preschool. Wait, what I really meant to say is that I missed two days of Maddie’s preschool. I’ve come to cherish my [...]
