{Bathroom Revamp pt 1}

D tends to start projects and not finish them. We put the new tub in at the beginning of the summer and although the tub got put in and 2 of the shower walls are up, the one with the faucet is still not up. D says he needs to do some plumbing and extend some pipes before he can put it up. That is just...

{Plans Change Bummer}

I hate it when D and I make plans to do something just the two of us and we have to cancel. We were supposed to head back to Pere Marquette Lodge for their Halloween ghost hunt. We were so excited when we found out they do that there. But with just spending all that money on the dentist, we felt it might be too much to spend another large sum on one night for us. So I just called an canceled our...

{A Day at the Dentist}

The dentist is always a stressful trip to take with Owen, actually taking him anywhere that people who are not a normal part of his life are going to touch him, is stressful. He just is not OK with it and normally I'm fine with it because it means he's not likely to just let some random person put...

{Parenting a child with ODD}

Dawn has always been my problem child. She has always been hard to handle. Throwing fits constantly, not being able to hear 'no' without flipping out on someone. She loves to drag you into a fight or to change the subject completely when you're trying to explain something to her. She also loves to try to manipulate the situations to make the adult she is arguing with sound like they're just being...

{ #weightwatchers Getting back to it!}

It's no surprise that I've fallen off the weight watchers wagon. I haven't been going to the gym like I should be or watching what I eat. I haven't gained back all the weight I lost but I've gained back far too much. So I'm getting back to it this week. I skipped the gym today because last night my back was giving me problems and I didn't want to risk it going out on me. Something it hasn't done...

I am so frustrated and annoyed and pissed off at her behavior. I can't stand that she refuses to learn from her mistakes. I know what's...
