Our Day

If figures that my internet would be out on the day that I have time to type up a gazillion posts. Good thing I got smart and decided to use Word to collect all of my thoughts. I’m beginning to get annoyed with Cable America though. It seems like this is becoming a pretty frequent occurrence. I’m glad that at least the LTE on my phone is working. It kind of hurts to be totally disconnected. How sad is that?

Since we were able to spend the day mostly unplugged, the girls and I had a pretty good time exploring outside. And lots of outside time helps tremendously when it comes to nap time and bed time.

Our day started at Walmart. One of the awesome money making apps that I have paid me $10 to go inside, take a photo, and then answer some questions. I can’t wait to share some of the cool apps that I’ve been using to make easy money!

From Walmart, we headed to the park. The girls love this park, but we haven’t visited in a while since there were literally hundreds of kids there the last time we went. Lucky for us, there was not a single person there this time! I loved having the park completely to our selves. I was able to sit back and relax without have to hover over the girls to make sure the big kids weren’t trampling them.

Our park visit was followed by lunch at home and nap time. I used nap time to get my craft corner organized and fix a pair of my shorts that I ripped at the dog park this weekend. Unfortunately, since the internet was down, I couldn’t connect my Cricut to Craftroom. I guess I could have just cut directly from the cartridges in the machine, but that seems so primitive now that I’ve discovered Craftroom.

Well, time for bed. I’ve got the first of my major dental appointments tomorrow. I’m kind of looking forward to laying back for a couple of hours. The only thing that sucks is that I’ll have to get up extra early to take the girls to daycare since Hubster won’t have time between PT and class.

Dinner Time Sucks - Letting Go

I know I can't be the only parent that absolutely despises dinner time, right? It hasn't always sucked, but lately it's difficult to get the girls to finish a meal. Even something they like such as spaghetti. It used to be that Adri would eat anything and V would pick through her plate, but now both of them seem to be doing the same thing. It used to be that I would sit at the table for up to an hour after dinner trying to force feed little people.

In an effort to not send myself to the nut house before the girls are even teenagers, I've been trying not to stress the dinner situation too much lately. You don't want to eat? That's fine, I'm not going to force anyone to eat if they don't want to. I'm definitely not trying to have obese children. The only option after dinner will be left overs though. No more after dinner extra and absolutely no dessert if you can't finish your meal.

So far everyone is still chunky enough and not suffering from malnutrition. There are no more fights at the table about clearing plates and everyone is happy.
