The Lord Knew What He Was Doing

When he gifted me with the cutest boy on earth. For if my son was not so stinking adorable, I might have put him up for free on craigslist this weekend. Spencer has made leaps and bounds with his understanding. Many phrases he used to need a lot of guidance understanding, he now clearly knows exactly what you mean. Yeah!

Lately, though, he has been testing me constantly. I am not sure if he doesn't comprehend right from wrong as a whole yet, or is just a turd in disguise and could care less. Since, I don't believe hitting a child is a good form of punishment and I can't see needlessly yelling either, I work with time outs, finger pointing (this one helps let off steam for me) and raising my voice. Most of the time Spencer laughs at me. Can you believe this? I usually laugh back, I mean, who passes up a laugh?

While folding laundry in the basement today, I heard a muffled thump. That thump was my Christmas tree! Here is the end result. I nearly cried! Cute boy gave me a hugenormous lip pout and I ignored him for .5 seconds. I think he learned his lesson. Pretty sure he did; nope, don't see him doing this again. **Insert large guffaw here**

Oh yes, our neighbors are green with envy, I'm sure.

I think I will just display the ornaments on my coffee table in a Glad bowl. Starting new trends is a passion of mine.

This did start out with fake snow and beads. Sometimes less is best!

Another Day, Another Eye

I woke up this morning to complete darkness. "God?" I said. "I'm blind!" "Jesus, take me now!" Silence...God replied, "Stop being such a wussy, Sheri, and quit whining. You just have Pink Eye and your eyes are crusted shut. You'll wake the neighbors will all this racket. You fall down and run into walls on a daily basis, why should this day be any different? Now get up and be quiet!"

"Fine then!" I replied. "You big meanie."

God then sighed, "Don't worry, my little sassy one, we are not prepared for the likes of you up here yet. Besides, you amuse me so."

I then huffed and walked to the bathroom, hit the bedroom wall and crawled instead. I thought I heard laughing but that could have been the ringing in my ears.

This disgusting bacteria has spread to my other eye (sneaky too, did it while I was sleeping). It took all my effort and willpower not to pick and wash them out every five minutes and it paid off. While my eyelids are still very puffy and my eyes blood red, they are not leaking so much. I feel like I have sandpaper in them but the drops are doing wonders and I am hoping to put in a full day at work tomorrow.

I felt guilty about not being able to take Spencer outside today. It was gorgeous out with a lot of sunshine. The light really makes my eyes water. I waited until after seven when the sun was lower and took Spence out for a few minutes. He was so funny running around and laughing. Hopefully tomorrow we can go for a walk.

Hope you all had a good day! Looking forward to a three day weekend.
