A Mother's Mouth...

A little while ago, I thought about the phrases that I say to my kids throughout the day. Yesterday, I decided to keep track of them, and I wrote some down to post to this blog.
1) "Well, life is not fair."
2) "Eat around it."
3) "Where are your shoes? Put on your shoes!" (x5)
4) Me:"What was that?" Child:"Nothing" Me:"Nothing doesn't make a noise!"
5) "Don't use your straws as swords. You could poke an eye out."
6) "Don't hold your pencil that way. You could poke your eye out."
7) "Because that's the way God made it."
8) "Eat this or eat nothing. I don't care."
9) "You need a shower....because you stink."
10) "Not today, not tonight, not ever..."
11) "We don't say that..."
12) "Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite!"

Next time I'll keep track of the things that my kids say during the day! Stay tuned.

Face the Music...

I finally did it. I made my appointment to see my "high risk" doctor. No, I'm not pregnant (yet or may never be again). Stephen and I are TRYING to make an educated decision about having the last little one that we planned before we got married seven years ago. I know a lot about the condition that I had (postpartum preeclampsia), but I still completely freak out reliving it now and then (every time I take my pills, for instance). This is the first step, though. We go October 28th; I'll let you know what comes of it. Yikes....
