Random..

• Sometimes I feel on top of the world, like yesterday when I loaded, ran, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, took Maya to the Doctor, picked up her prescription, movies and sick snacks with some crafty things to do while your sick, put some silk flowers in my curtain tie back holders, made a chicken broccoli braid for the fam for dinner and put it in the fridge, bathed and hairwashed the sick girl, went to work from 4-9.


• Sometimes I feel at the bottom of the world like this morning when it took all that I have in me to get my 3 year old to take her medicine. Finally after the third time of her spitting it out, both of us were crying, she was in time out and had peed on the floor, I gave up.


• Sometimes taking a hot shower and removing yourself from situations gives you a new outlook on things. This is what I decided about the whole medicine thing:

This is on our fridge. Yes, it's bribery folks. Does that make me a bad mommy. I hope not. Everyday she has to take her medicine two times. She will get a sticker each time. At the end of 10 days when the medicine is all gone(with no spitting it out), we will go to the store and get her most precious and coveted snow white halloween costume with a magic wand and sparkle shoes. I figure I have to get the halloween costume at some point anyway, so why not use it for these extenuating circumstances.

• Especially for Nana- this was last week. She was so excited to go to school. Here she is in the car, getting ready to get out for school..
  

  

• Here she is with one of her teachers that had to lean down to remind her to say goodbye to her mommy who was in the car frantically snapping pictures like the papparazi. So after missing school Tuesday for a sinus and ear infection we are going back for her second day today.
