You're an amazing mom and I promise it is all very much worth the stress. <BR/>About the bully--ask Abby what she did to handle a bully on her bus. She shut him down for good. I was so proud of her.mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161039287023379893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-91790637972734171362009-03-21T17:25:00.000-07:002009-03-21T17:25:00.000-07:00Remember the old "Calgon, take me away!" commercia...Remember the old "Calgon, take me away!" commercial? Or am I totally dating myself by saying I remember that. As I recall the Mom was quite stressed by the ringing phone, dog barking. dinner steaming over on the stove... gee, what was her problem? That's a pretty normal, non stressful day, isn't it? Sorry you were having one of those days! How I wish I was there to lighten the burden and see Sophie's crazy morning hair and have Michael go talk sense into those punks.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746624866153942722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-3965957103670550842009-03-21T11:45:00.000-07:002009-03-21T11:45:00.000-07:00Oh, I'm so there.

Matt's teacher has actually resorted to putting M&M's on his desk that he has to "guard" in order to get him to face forward and pay attention. It is ALL about the motivation with him.<BR/><BR/>Hannah JUST started using the toliet THIS week (she is 4 years, 3months, and 27 days). It hasn't been perfect but it is starting to be there. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever heard of the book called "Enemy Pie"? I don't know...all about a bully that a kid has to figure out how to make a friend. Might be way too young for your Jesse. Have you tried having Jasen going over to the school and threatening the CRAP out of the kids? I can handle lots of crap but NOT THAT KIND OF CRAP!!! <BR/><BR/>Eat ice-cream, go to bed, sleep, and things always seem better in the morning. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the honest reminder of why motherhood is the best and hardest job we will ever do!!!!Amy Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938793692259678404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-82202225926652452052009-03-20T10:13:00.000-07:002009-03-20T10:13:00.000-07:00I agree that being a mom is awesome and wouldn't w...I agree that being a mom is awesome and wouldn't want any other job in the world, but ya sometimes wish I had an easy button to push to get my kids in bed without crying, get them healthy without the sleepless nights, and just be nice to each in general all of the time. I guess we have to have those moments so that we really enjoy the moments when they are actually all happy and healthy. Usually the day after I think, man I love being a mom, is the worst day of the week!!Claricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171471489443957412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-13370353186365064752009-03-20T10:06:00.000-07:002009-03-20T10:06:00.000-07:00I agree 100% especially right now all my kids have...I agree 100% especially right now all my kids have been sick, especially Zadie If she cries one more time I think I'm going to loose it! But on the other hand my kids asked me yesterday what I wanted to be when I grew up... I don't remember wanting to be anything but a mom. And I love it 90% of the time!Like they say it is the hardest but most rewarding job in the world!Heather Zwygarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07445749100900758942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-60468298637173256802009-03-20T08:06:00.000-07:002009-03-20T08:06:00.000-07:00Great post...It fits my life to a tee.

Being a Mom is the best job I could ask for but at the same time it is A LOT of work to make sure that they are healthy and happy...<BR/><BR/>It's good to know I am not the only one who is overwhelmed at times....Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997707965069558151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662462521432205153.post-7153064618152751492009-03-20T07:06:00.000-07:002009-03-20T07:06:00.000-07:00Nice Post.
