Where’s Mummy?

I've returned from visiting my Dad this weekend as he finally got discharged from the hospital.  We don't know what is wrong technically, but we do know that it isn't life threatening.  Yeah!  Thank you to everyone who sent good wishes, prayers, hugs, tweets, and FB messages to me over the last few days.

Where’s Mummy?

My mind is all about my upcoming trip to Kentucky for work this week and taking TD to the doctor to see what we can do about the tantrums.  So far we've developed pie charts.  Don't laugh.  It's true. We sat her down on Sunday and drew diagrams of how her tantrums effect the house and don't give her what she wants.  The pie charts showed her the time she has in the day and the activities she has as well as how it works for us, her parents.  It seemed to sink in better than us just yammering away at her.  We'll see.  I'm crossing every finger and toe right now and saying a bunch of huge prayers that we have jumped over this giant hurdle.Other than all that- whew!- I'm busy with another giveaway at MPR. It's all about spring renewal- with nail polish, body … [Read more...]
