Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |

sorry darlin'...
Of course! ;) Austin is far enough north that "Guadalupe" is pronounced "Gua-da-loop", and "San Jacinto" is "San Ja-cint-a" ("J" as in "Jump").
We have some odd pronounciations here too... "Burnett" pronounced "Burn-it" (durnit!) and "Buda" pronounced "Byooda" (I still get that one wrong more often than not...)
mmmmmm.....arm-breaker...
Thanks, hon. I know it's just a stage, as they say. After all, I survived Rebecca's toddler years.
But Becky was NEVER this bad. Either that or my brain blocked out the memory of it being that bad. :)
dude... sick kids makes me sad...
sounds like a great opportunity fer a trip tuh the range... or a murderous rampage... take yer pick...
I can only hope...
well... it may have blocked it out 'steaduh the "projectilepoopinthemouth"...
Oh sheesh! You ~always~ know just the right thing to say, doncha?
*wink*
Hey...Dr. Dobson has a book called "The Strong-Willed Child"...you may want to take a look at it...it just so happens that we have a copy here :-)...let me know if you wants ta borrow it...hang in there...they are only little once and soon they'll be grown and gone. :-(

I know it. It's just when you're actually going through it, it feels like forever. I just felt so frustrated with her and with myself for not being able to control or soothe her. *sigh*
I think my sister has a copy of that book, come to think of it. I'll double-check with her and, if not, I'll get it from the library on the corner here.
(((mrsnad)))
Thanks, sis. I know you understand.
Aww... dang. That's too bad. Hang in there. Only the good parents bother to wonder if they're doing it right. :-) Hang in there. It's just your mother's prayers exacting revenge on you from when you were a kid. Just like you're doing now... :-)
Nice mailbox. Let the games begin...
Jury duty: *YOU* would be a hoot on a jury.
Mmmm... pinewood derby cars.
I still have my old cars. They were killers. Had a technological edge...
My method involved filling a cavity with lead, then on raceday at the weigh-in I'd use a drill into the bottom to drill out lead until it was just ~barely~ inside the weight spec.
That, and polishing the axles (the nails) and the inside of the wheels, and poofin' em with a little graphite right before the start.
Sorry... went back in time there for a sec.
That would be funny if it wasn't so close to truth. My mom told me some stories this morning about my behavior as a toddler.
I was ~slightly~ milder than Alyson, but only slightly. I had a 30 minute full-blown tantrum in the parking lot of Disney World at Alyson's age because I had decided that I wanted to stay and live with Mickey.
I eventually grew up. I think. :-)
I didn't see the story on the 90 footer aground, was it a thread? Assume she was some form of schooner? Glad the crew survived and hope the ship will too.
polished the axles, sanded the wheels smooth... got lead...
but but... the accused is a victim...
dunno what'll happen, if anything... no sane lawyer would allow me on a jury...
A perfectly reasonable request. How can parents be so mean? :-)
one of our local FOX reporters is named Jasmine Huda... I can't help slippin' intuh muh Appoo accent whenever I see her... does that make me a bad person?... pro'ly...
Oh, the humanity!
Alyson has fallen asleep, at long last. Rebecca is now being the disobedient one.
Beatings are in order....
