This and that.........

For fun, and I should say this is a "hearsay" story, but hypothetically speaking, what do you think? "Apparently" someone we know was pulled over for rolling through a stop sign. (This particular stop sign isn't in the best spot - anyone I know always pulls ahead of the line for better visibility) She questioned the officer and he had her come back to his patrol car to watch a video tape of what she did. (I don't know the conversation so I can't say he made her or what but ........) Well the problem is she had her two kids (one is five, the other is three) in the car and the officer had no problems with them being unattended. Hubby just thought that was odd - rolling through a stop sign sounds a lot less problematic than two kids alone in a car. Curious what your thoughts are.

Moving on............

I'm about to suck it up and go see my doctor about not sleeping. It's gotten way too old. It also has made my temper very short and things that maybe shouldn't drive me completely crazy easily do. It doesn't help that every morning one of the girls is screaming mad. It varies between the two so hard to pinpoint what exactly is the problem, but hubby and I are both tired of cranky mornings. We don't see the girls a whole lot M-F so when most of that time is with at least one upset and/or mad, it's just not a fun time. This morning they were in-stereo fussy, and same thing from the minute we picked them up. It's draining. I know part of the issue is they don't take nearly a long enough nap at their school but we're going to have to fix that in a hurry.

They have gotten very interested in certain tasks like putting clothes in the hamper or putting away diapers, except hubby and I both swear that tonight, when we asked Audrey to put her clothes away, her babble-answer sounded very close to "why me?"

The girls did get their first day-trip this past weekend as hubby took them down to the cabin. Apparenly all the rocks they could imagine was too much fun and they were completely asleep by the time I got home (I had gone out to dinner for a friend's birthday) Maybe if we had rocks instead of toys around the house, we'd get better results. They also had their first trip to the zoo compliments of their uncle and soon-to-be aunt. Seems the monkeys were the highlight as they now excitedly will tell you what a monkeys says. (That or the dippin' dots - hard call.)

Fun with rocks
