Mom's Out There

Today...was all about patience for me. We are on our third day of rain in a row. The kids are starting to get antsy. So when we were at the grocery store earlier I already knew my son would cry and cry for that toy he wanted. My husband usually gives in...but not today! I told him you need to say no and stick with it...or else you will only make the big mistake worse. So, my husband stuck by it...except he ignored everyone else too. We walked out of the store ... WITHOUT...the toy that my son was crying for.

On the ride home he screamed and screamed...I was so proud of my husband for not losing his patience because I am sure he was near to it. My son would stop....and then start up again. He carried on into the house until he realized, no his Daddy would not say, "Come on, let's go get you something." If he did I would be so mad! But, I tell you hearing my baby cry is so hard...all you wanna do is hug him forever. But, if you show him that he'll know he'll get anything out of you for the rest of his life.

Now, to solve the problem with us having to lay down with him every night to sleep...maybe we should take it one day at a time....

Yup....I actually went out and bought one of these Squawkers MacCaw's...actually I bought two. One for each of my kids. We haven't even had it for 24 hours yet and my daughter treats it like a real bird! She says, "Kisses" and it kisses her. I took my sons and cuddled with it and it cooed!!

Back in 2005, I got really sick...like almost died sick. We had two doves, Dory (after Finding Nemo and Ellen Degeneres) and Drew (the winner of Big Brother that year). The kids loved to play with them. But when we found out that it was the birds that was making me sick we had to get rid of them. I guess it's never really been the same around here without them.

So now the MacCaw's have taken over....my daughter wanted to tape a commercial with him for my new .com. So here it is....she says..."I like to visit taylorsentertainmentnews.com and also mommy loves milo ventimiglia"....PRICELESS!!



BTW...visit my new .com.... Taylor's Entertainment News.

Gerri Willis interviews Camille Chatterjee, editor for Parenting Magazine, about getting "more bang for your buck" with safe, fun, cheap and popular gift ideas for children this holiday season.

My son got some money for his birthday last week...yup...he turned 5 on Monday...yada yada yada. Anyways, that's another story. But we went to Costco and got a really good deal on this track. It came with 15 hot wheels cars and this hot wheel track. Can I say that Hot Wheels has become cheap? The track constantly bends and it just sucks in the whole. I have to listen to this when it doesn't go right....

Do you think I like to see this when my little man gets frustrated .... NO!!! So please...Hot Wheels you are the best company around. Please don't be so cheap anymore.
