New Beginnings

I have officially switched jobs. I now work in an OB/Gyn office, but I can't say I love it yet. I have been there for 2 weeks and feel like an idiot. For those of you who know me, I hate feeling like an idiot. They do things so differently and it makes me second guess everything that I do. Their paranoia has now become my paranoia. The nice thing about working in an office is that I get all weekends and holidays off, the bad thing is that I can't work a 12 hour shifts which I enjoyed because I got to get four days off a week. I guess its give a little take a little kind of situation.

The boys are getting so big. B is in the terrible two's and is approaching the horrible 3's. He is still not potty trained and at this point I am so tired that I don't even feel like training him. This kid is so hard headed that if anyone suggests to him going in the potty he won't do it. If it is his idea then he will, and he will do both poop and pee. He's know how he just won't. I sort of gave up, but the daycare lady is also frustrated and is dropping hints that it is time and she is sick of changing his diaper.

B will often say he his your "best friend" one minute and then the very next he will tell you that you are mean and that he doesn't like you. He hits, pinches, kicks, and screams at us. We try to discipline him, but he just doesn't care. He could care less if you spank him, put him in time out, take toys away, or yell at him. Some days I want to rip my hair out. Unfortunately we are at the point where there are more bad days than good. I just want my sweet B man back already! Who stole him?

At least I got one kid who likes me or at least my boobs. Yes, I am still nursing, but not for anything more than comfort. C lee just loves the boob. He could sit there for hours with it if I'd let him (ok sometimes I do, especially if B is throwing a temper tantrum and I tell mike I am busy and he has to deal with it). B was just too interested in the world around him to stare at my chest, C is still ok with it. He is rolling all around and now he just starting eating cereal. He is sleeping through the night better now with the cereal and really enjoys it. He get pretty excited when he sees me preparing it. My biggest fear if that we will have constipation issues like we did for B, so far so good.

Life is getting more challenging now with too boys. C needs to be entertained and B is being 3, so it is so tiring. I wouldn't trade it for any thing though. I love them so much.

Mike has really stepped  up his father roll and with me working 4 days a week, he has taken another step deeper into being a stay- at- a- home -dad. He mostly enjoys it and I know the kids love it too. I am glad that at least one parent can be home with them for most of the week.

Adios
