I'm just gonna lose it!

First of all I should start out by saying I knew this wasn't going to be easy, but seriously does it really have to be this bad?

I know I know I only brought it all on my self, but hey what can I say its not easy being me. So first off lets just say that the coca-cola industry has just lost a customer and its the damn near hardest thing I've ever done, next to giving birth that is... So the story, its official I no longer drink the delectable sodie pop that I love so darn much. Matter of fact I don't drink any pop right now and may never do it again. I'm trying to cut back the enormous amounts of sugar that I love to eat because face it, I'm no spring chicken any more and my eggs so to speak are starting to become a little rounder and runnier than I want them to be. I guess at some point we all have to face the facts of getting fat, but at 30 I wasn't exactly expecting it to be so darn hard! So as I slowly lose it I say good bye to my sweet of choice....


And then there's Gavin... Second son born to me and my husband, way to close to the first one to even make me conceivably think straight even to this day I'm still wondering how this one happened. Oh Gavin Gavin GAVIN!!! Drive me so incredible nuts with your little fit pitching, tantrum throwing screams! What in the name of ______ will I ever do with you? Oh and how darn cute can you be! Just when I think I can't take anymore you give me something to hold on to with your cute little antic's of all sorts. My baby I love you, but as you get older the bottle has just got to go... I know we've talked about it. Okay really I've talked to you about it as you screamed and screamed and SCREAMED!!! Once I even thought of selling you, but alas we have finally come to a compromise that you will give up the bottle if......



You get this car! I know bribing is "bad" and teaches your kids that when they are good they deserve a reward. BUT after months of trying and failing miserably I have now come to the realization of something. Spanking never works, just make's the kid hit you back. When they are that upset, a good spat on the rear only makes the situation that much worse... Candy, just gets the kids all sugared up and hyper active so that nobody can stand each other. However toys are a great motivator for all sorts of things, including potty training a 3.5 year old in a week! I'm all for it! Now I realize that this car is a little more than we should be doing for the little guy, but he is so reliant on that bottle that I figure it has to be something big and of course all his, not the older brothers too.. I'm sure that tonight will still be hellish, but we will see... And if I don't mentally lose it before this month is over. I'm sure I will be physically exhausted from all of it...



As for work..... WOW comes to mind. Its funny how so many people can have so many different opinions on the same subject. All I want to know is what space will stay the Laboratory space and what will be parted out to another department. Once that has been decided then drawing something that will flow and work well for the Lab staff is simple, but no instead I get to guess and hope to Heavenly Father that I don't offend any of his "good natured" people here at this hospital. Seriously figure out your head from your butt and let it be what it will be. Don't get offended or obnoxious for that fact that your not getting your fair share. Seriously!!!
