@Wildfire: I really hope your banana plants survive and thrive this summer. <3
oh man, I should have bought chickens this summer like I wanted to- but then, I came to Wyoming, so ... glad I didn't. XD gosh, I hope egg prices go down soon.
I'm curious as to why eggs? I need to research that.

I'm pretty much used to the slick roads now, I just dislike driving my mom's old car- even though it's meant for this type of weather. It's a fairly lightweight vehicle so it hits ice, and you definitely feel it.

@Wildfire: So far all the kids are recovering fine, except my husband. lol. I made him stay home with our 3 kids over the weekend while I totally decompressed and worked hours at my other job.
Much needed break. I even had dinner with good friends and had a couple beverages. :d
We've had warm weather the last couple days, which melts the snow layer by layer, and then it freezes, snows overnight and we have that hidden layer of ice.

@CooperationIsKey:
@Wildfire: the parent was just pissy because they have a diaper rash and although, I am helping , it's just not good enough. I think the kid has allergies.
It's their only child.
Yesterday was awful. All 6 kids were sick sick. Called 2 parents by 3pm to come pick up. OTL
My own baby was screaming/sick all night.
I worked my own job all day today.
Im pooped out.

Im taking a break at my friends house and using their massage chair. <3

@CooperationIsKey: omg, that could have been so, so much worse. o.o"
My day is going alright so far. I have one parent unhappy with me, and they haven't dropped their kid off yet [they will], so I'm just not looking forward to that interaction.
I'm glad I set my computer up and have voltra handy. <3 It's a bit of a stress reliever/break.

@Lotus: your avi is so cute. C: I'm doing okay, catching the cold going around. I need to make sure I drink a lot of water and take vitamins so it doesn't hit me as bad.
My mom is a tough cookie, she knows she needs to stay down but this break is far less painful than the other two.

Did you end up getting yesterday's work finished up?


@Wildfire: lol yeah, he's making me realize he's likely a kid/person that will never slow down. XD Almost 10 months old already and keeping up with toddlers.
do you have any weekend plans?


@CooperationIsKey: Did.. the engine just .. give up ? How did it get on fire. o3o"

@Wildfire: lol, rite of passage...
He's fine, surprisingly, he's still trying to keep up with the toddlers even though it seems like he's got a red target on him. He's been pushed, kicked, hit, and bitten today... but he keeps hanging out with the gaggle of tiny human spawns. e.e' I guess he's just willing and ready to be in their 'big' kid space.
I'm glad I'm not one of those "OOoh Oh no!!!" reactive type moms.
My baby has a slight cold today too, so he's coughing and crying, getting hit and crying, hungry... and crying. A lot of tears today.

@Wildfire: Are eggs overpriced over there too? or is it just this end of the country?
We just got charged 8 bucks for 12 eggs. e.e" that's nuts.
I've met some homeschooled kids with well-off parents who were well-behaved and not sooo... idk, awful. But That is because the parents decided to stay home and be supportive of the kiddos.

Nap time over here: I got myself a hot cocoa.. and I'm relaxing while I can even though my own baby is awake and still fussing. My husband is home, so he took over baby duties while I chill for a minute.

@Wildfire: In these recent events where my job became babysitting for a living.. it's become obvious that kids will always be kids, doesn't matter who is rich or poor. Typically it's the 'poor' kids with the best manners. CX

@CooperationIsKey: lol correct. XD I have one toddler I know I can give time-outs to, for the rest-... don't wanna rock the boat. >3<
I am definitely stressed, but I'm living that "it is what it is" life. XD
I'm going out with friends this weekend after I work my regular job. :d so that will be a nice break.

@CooperationIsKey: I can watch my own kids just fine because I can parent them and read into their actions. Now that I need to run my mom's daycare.. I can't really discipline these kids and I don't understand why they do some things. :T
These families are upper middle class, they pay my mom a good sum of money for us to watch them. This daycare is technically called ' a nanny share'. XD
but like- what if I time-out the wrong kid and the parents get mad and pull their kid out and my mom can't pay her bills anymore? cx

I am currently listening to a variety of toddler music. OTL to keep the tiny human spawns happy.

@CooperationIsKey: I'm sitting here googling and reading about parentification now. o3o it's interesting to read about.

-Daycare had a rough start. toddler bit my baby. Toddler got time out and the baby gets a nap.
So, coffee while the 3 toddlers play is what I'm doing now.

@CooperationIsKey: omg!!! OTL that's awful. BUT that's exactly how my uncles and aunts are with their kids. D:
My second eldest cousin, I don't even remember his name, he is a year younger than I am, went into the military, and didn't have kids [as far as I know]. And my cousin the same age as me [his older sister] raised her siblings alongside her mom and has gone off to make a family of her own. e.e
blows my mind.


@Wildfire: I moved to a Mormon town for a cheaper lease. CX I stayed home from work one day. I was outside with my 2 toddlers at the time, and there was a gal about my age if not a year or two older out in the yard across from our rental. So I went over and struck up a conversation. Told her I was excited to meet a fellow young mom- blah blah blah.
AND THEN the school bus dropped off. A bunch of kids went hurdling into her yard, playing, yelling and I made the comment "wow, your house is popular. :) " and she laughed and said "oh, these guys are mine. Thats ___, and ____, and _____, and ______, ______ aaaand ______. and this one -shifts baby on the hip- is ________" I didn't count heads. XD

LOL! I want him.
