Hmm....what to say.....

Well, today was another day where I felt like throwing my 5-year old dd in a snowbank. She has been so wound up and rowdy, getting in to all kinds of trouble, breaking house rules, leading her twin sisters astray.....ah! She is driving me bonkers! I think I need to send her outside and have her run around the house 5 times....maybe 10! I love that little girl and I have been trying to figure out when her behaviour got so bad. It was sometime this fall. I don't know if it's school, if it's been because she has an ill mother, or what. I just pray that tomorrow will be a better day.

I need to get Autumn, one of the poodles into the vet. When she opens up her mouth, it pollutes the air in the room. It seems like she just had her teeth cleaned not too long ago, but something must be wrong. She used to just give a warning growl to the kids that they were her space, but now she is starting to act like she is going to nip them. I can't have that. I don't want to part with her, so I am thinking of just having all of her remaining teeth removed. I don't think she has all that many left. I can soften her food with water and she can live out the remaining of her late years toothless. That way she can still be here, we won't have to worry about problems with her remaining teeth, and we don't have to worry if she nips at the kids, because she would just gum them.

Fred is a WONDERFUL dad. He works nights and then comes home and works almost another full time job, caring for the kids. He had the night off last night so he got some work done today. I didn't get my naps in today so I am feeling really lousy. I have this magnesium supplement, and it really helps me. I really need to go take it, but I can hardly stand to take it. I need to figure out a way to make it more palatable. It's some powder that fizzes and foams when you add liquid to it. They say to stir the bubbles out and fill up the mug and drink it like a cup of tea. I can't stand to drink that much of it. I really don't like it at all. But, I'm sitting here really hurting tonight, so I know I need to go take it. Boy I hope I can find a way to take it that makes it more palatable.

Autumn, the one with the killer breath is laying next to me snoring up a storm. She is so loud! I am always having to nudge her to get her to stop snoring so I can go to sleep.

Well, I'm signing off....need to motivate myself to go drink that nasty fizzy stuff, and lay down and go to sleepy town.

Me - who's wishing she would have ordered a pizza tonight! It's my absolute favorite thing! and I really really want some!
