RN I'm enjoying not having very much work to do this weekend. Well, except for slogging through things to get the stuff my accountant still needs for my taxes. :-)

RN, I just put the new version of Quicken on my computer and am almost complete with setting it up with all the pertinent information. This, I'm hoping, will help me be more organized for NEXT YEAR's taxes. (yeah, right!)

RN, I wish I could have a week of paid vacation to go someplace and just relax.

RN we are all making up reasons to have to drive the new car! we got the jetta all spruced up and put it down in the parking lot near jc penney and a grocery store where there are several other cars with 'for sale' signs.
we are asking medium blue book and in california a diesel jetta should have a premium of another 2k at least. you have not been able to buy a diesel car (only trucks) since the end of 2004. if you buy one out of state, you have to have 7,000-10,000 miles ONCE YOU HAVE PURCHASED IT, before bringing it into california. since we got it here and it's been here, it's 'grandfathered'. we have actually gotten 54 miles per gallon, although we usually get about 48.
mass, oregon, calif and one or two other states have a moratorium on diesel cars.
i'll bet we could ask over 15k, but we are asking 12.5k and hoping for something close to that.

RN, yeah, hermi, for completing your first 10k!

RN, several years back, i started a big legal size envelope each year and stuck everything in it or at least a running list of things, i.e., car registration, house taxes, donation slips. the first things in it were the tax preparation costs (turbo or paid preparer, etc.) from the year before.

RN Tabby, that's cool! :-)

RN I am watching The Five People You'll Meet in Heaven. I have read the book, so I am interested in seeing how the movie turns out. It stars Jon Voigt, who I usually enjoy. Should be good.

RN I'm really wondering if the guy who invited them (Darren's boss) remembered about DST. I think the place they're going may have set hours and if they do it may still be closed at 6am for being dark out! All I know for sure is Darren and Caleb are gonna be hurting in the morning, boss had been trying to call all day but since we were gone didnt get ahold of them til almost 10 and they're losing an hour of sleep! 5am is going to come mighty quickly.

Right now: I just finished reading "The five people you meet in heaven."

What a wonderful book, and a quick read. I read it in two days while DD1 was taking her nap and DD2 was nursing .

Well, we are still having some major behavioral issues with DD1. She is literally beating the tar out of her younger cousin. They fight like cats and dogs. She is constantly pinching his face or choking him. It's compulsive and I can't figure out how to stop it. WHenever they are together, which is quite often, it is just chaotic with screaming, fighting "MINE MINE MINE" crying, it is very stressful.
Everytime it happens, we take DD, make her sit down on the couch for 3 minutes after explaining to her why she can't (hit, kick, punch, pinch, choke) her cousin. Other times we have had to resort to a swat to get her to stop. But nothing so far has stopped this behavior.
Also, she has the DLFS syndrome (translation "don't listen for sh**) I get down on her level, and ask her to please pick up the toy she threw down, or to please put on her shoes, or to please bring me (insert item here) and she just does not listen. Then I will ask her again and she flat out says "NO" or (the one word I hate that she uses constantly "NEVER" and she'll run off. So it's back to discipline. Either a time out, taking a toy away, or final resort, a good swat. And of all those, it still usually doesn't work. It's like pulling teeth getting her to do anything we ask.

To say she is strong willed is an understatement. She is the most stubborn child I have ever seen in my life.

Now, there are times when I can say, "Please bring me a diaper" and she is on it.

She really does help out a lot with her new baby sisters and she is so gentle with her, which often has me breathing a sigh of relief, because after the way she treats her younger cousin, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to go to the bathroom with out one kid in tow...

And our ongoing dilemna of potty training has me wanting to pull my hair out. This is one of those kids who loves to run naked. And when she is running naked, she is 100% trained. SHe has never had an accident while naked. She makes it to the toilet every time, without anyone having to tell her to go. She does it as you or I would. But, put a pair of underwear on her or a diaper, and within seconds she has soiled it. It never fails, and I can't just let her be naked all the time.

Will she just do it in time all on her own? Will the fighting ever stop. Will she EVER listen?

(on a better note, DD2 is one of those babies who rarely cries, and is quite content to look around, of course as long as she isn't hungry....knock on wood)

Tomorrow I think I will drop DD2 off at Grammas and DD1 and I will go to the library and get her a fun book to read.

RN, Escapee, I have no children and will not offer advice to those.

BUT, running around naked (inside the house) is fun! LOL

Sorry, you're having all of the mommie troubles, you and all mothers have the hardest job in the world and one of the most important. I commend you and bet you really do a great job.

I really do love kids, my nieces and nephews are a great joy to me, and another is on the way! Hope things will smooth out for you soon.

RN, Escapee have you asked her why she is so mean to her cousin? Make her think about it and then give you an answer. It might give you a clue as to what's really going on.
As to toilet training, someone told me that is one way kids have control. This wise person told me to relax with the toilet training it will happen. You may have to keep putting pull-ups on her. She'll outgrow the naked part. A lot of these things disappear when they start pre-school.
Hope that helps!

RN, is just inhaled a knat (the teenie tiny flying bug) up my nose and it hasn't come out!

Does anyone know where it will go?

OH and now my throat tickles, maybe that's where it went. Excuse me, I've just got to cough! ACK, ACK. No bug, guess I swallowed it.

RN I'm off to sub for elementary music all day. I have a loooong lunch thank goodness! DH is taking two CLEP tests today, so wish him luck!

RN in case some of you don't know, I finally got DH to join the board. He is jrs6494. I haven't made him a folder home yet, but I will get around to it!
