Liam loves to steal remote controls. And cell phones. And regular phones (not that those even work around this house). Basically, anything that might be off limits and has a lot of buttons on it. This morning he took off with the remote control and normally I would chase him down and wrench it from his grasp but this morning I just let him have it. Meh. He flipped through the channels for a few minutes before he found PBS and “Clifford”. Now, we’ve never watched this show before but he could tell this was quality programming. He kept it there for quite a while, amazing considering his diminutive attention span. Then he switched it to the home shopping network and I had to put my foot down.
Doesn’t he know the economy is in the garbage? He doesn’t need that diamonique necklace!

I think I know at least one of the reasons why I’m having a hard timing bringing myself to really care about getting my thyroid under control. Before, my thyroid was always tied into having babies. I had to have it under control to get pregnant and then while pregnant, had to make sure it was under control for the health of the baby. But now that the baby-making days are behind me, I’ve lost my motivation. I mean, just for my health isn’t a good enough reason, I guess.
I mean, it’s not like I matter or anything.

We are sorta dropping the ball this Halloween season. The only child that has a costume is Liam (a monkey costume from Target. Of course!). We have a bag of Halloween candy. And that’s about it. I guess Harry and Evie are screwed. I figured if worst came to worse, I could put Evie in Liam’s skunk costume from last year though it’d be way too big on her. But Harry? Well… sorry kid. Your parents kinda suck.

Harry is in Elko. In fact, I haven’t seen Harry since the Sunday before this last Sunday. And he hasn’t been here at home since the Saturday before that. That’s about a week and a half, people. We’ve talked to him on the phone TWICE since then (my mother in law keeps asking him if he wants to call us and he says NO). What the HECK? I know he’s having a blast and all but at least he could PRETEND like he misses us or something. I’m not 100% sure when we’ll see him again but it sounds like it might be next Sunday. Good gravy! (For the record, he’s “off track” this month so it’s not like he’s missing school or anything.)

Of course, when Liam runs up to his sister when she’s in the Exersaucer like he did just now and screams in her face just to watch her scream and sob, I start to wonder why his parents didn’t want to take him to Elko instead.

So our new cable box from Charter works okay. I mean, at least we get the channels we subscribe to. However, we don’t get OnDemand anymore. SIGH. What the HECK, Charter? Does anything you have/do actually WORK or it all just in theory? Counting down the months until we can switch back satellite…

Tuesday. Too early in the week. Too early in the day. I want a nap. I want a break. I want a vacation. I want some rest.
Keep dreamin’, girl.

I have issues with controlling the sugar in my body and I know what you mean. Why should *I* worry about getting healthy? The truth is that you do matter…very much. You know how the drummer is the person who keeps an entire band together? That’s a mom. You need to be at your best in order to make sure that everyone else is at their best. As my husband says, “if mom ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” *hugs*
