Oh yeah, I went there!

As you may or may not know....Madison has been very sick. Actually we all have. But the first few days of it consisted of vomiting and diarrhea. Not a fun combination. And all I can say about that is thank heavens for depends. But that is another story for another day.

This story consists of how Madison couldn't take her meds for several days.

This is never a pretty site. These are strong medications and not taking them is dangerous. Especially to third parties like myself. But when you can't even keep down water...what are you to do??

So fast forward a few days to when she is feeling well enough to yell and scream. In our house you know you are getting better when you feel well enough to yell or scream LOL.

So Madison is out of it. By it, I mean control. Angry, screaming, hitting, throwing things. You know...a typical bad day around here. (Don't you feel bad for thinking its a bad day when your kids don't nap or something?? LOL)

So she is in mid meltdown. Demanding I give her the computer. And she is quite the stubborn child. But not nearly as stubborn as her mama. So I am standing my ground. And she is fighting. Yelling. Trying to hit though not being very successful as I hold her arms. It's a very serious moment. One that would shock most american households and weaken most typical moms. But not me. Nope I will stand strong. I will stay firm.

And in the middle of said tantrum....I kid you not.....she says in an extremely serious tone

"I hate you. OH YEAH I Went There"

and she proceeds to snap her fingers. Remember that old 3 snaps in a z formation? What was that from, In Living Color? Anyways....she does this. The worst part is she does it sooooo seriously.

And I am stunned.

And here is my precious daughter yelling at me and demanding I give her what she wants.

And I am trying not to laugh.

Because I tell you.....no matter what else she has said and done in this argument. No matter how wrong it may be.

THAT was funny.

But if I laugh it only makes things worse.

So I sit and continue to try and reason with her. While inside I am laughing my butt off at what pops out of her mouth at the oddest times.

The funniest thing is that Madison can sit for 3 straight hours trying to tell knock knock jokes (trust me, this is based on experience) and they are NOT funny. I mean comedian she is NOT.

But when she is not trying....when being funny is the last thing on her mind....out pops something like this and she is hilarious.

Oh yeah...I went there.

Ignore the mismatch...

I am currently learning how to do my own templates. Yes I am that OCD. So I made my own header. Taken right up the road from me might I add :)

So until I learn the rest, my decor won't match.

Sorry about that

Carry on now.

Redecorating...

Well as much as I LOVE Twilight and Edward....I got tired of looking at the same old blog. So I have redecorated. How do you like it?

Eventually I'd like to have a custom template. But first I either need to make some $$ or learn how to do them :)

Welcome to the world!

Today Christopher and Caleb joined our world. They are twin boys of my cousins Scott and Brandy. Unfortunately Brandy was only 32 weeks along. So the boys have some hurdles to overcome. I am asking for all of you who read this to say a prayer for all of them today. So far the boys are doing well considering.

I am very sad that I can't be there to be with my family at this time.

But let's focus on the positive....

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY CHRISTOPHER AND CALEB!!! I can't wait to meet you :)
