Should I stay or should I go?

I'm a minimalist. I like the least amount of stuff to make my life great. As some of you may know, I've started F@cebook-ing. Now I'm hooked and debating whether or not to stop blogging. I don't want to keep up both sites - it's too cumbersome and time consuming. *sigh* Decisions, decisions....

Jason came down with something. He's been moping and whining all day today. Gosh, get over it. I didn't get a day off when I got sick. Seriously. I've tried making him feel better by cooking, letting him sleep almost the whole day away, etc. But he's still crabby. Good Lord, men are babies. Hopefully he'll be alright to go back to work tomorrow :)

Bret has turned into a temper tantrum throwing whiner. Man. If he doesn't get his way, he'll throw down a toy or shove it across the floor. He'll whine if I don't hold him or if I don't feed him fast enough. Now he *hates* it when I have to change his diaper because, God forbid, he has to stop playing for two seconds. He's also started pulling Caicos' hair and tail. WTF? He was doing so well and petting him so nicely. Then all of a sudden, Bret turned on the cat. I've been very stern with him and telling him "no" and "you hurt Caicos when you pull his fur" and "we don't hurt Caicos". Bret doesn't care, he'll still do it. I finally got fed up and slapped his hand. I didn't, and don't, want to be "that mom", but I think that Bret is doing it on purpose. I KNOW that he understands me when I tell him not to do it. I don't think I'm going to like the testing-the-boundaries stage at all!!

Ho, Ho, Ho.....

....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Need help

This may sound super paranoid but I try to keep my online accounts to a minimum. I've been a sucker to fraud (albeit once by my sister).....Anyway, I'm really interested in buying some things on Etsy but I don't have a PayPal account and I don't plan on signing up for one either.

How can I buy something on Etsy another way? Should I contact the seller?

So sad

I'm so sad......The weaning process is coming to an end this week. Bret is down to one feeding a day (night) and this will be the second night without it. Last night I went out of town on a shopping trip with friends so Jason put Bret to bed. He said Bret cried for about 15 - 20 minutes and then fell asleep. I feel so bad......I just don't want to hear him cry :(

Right now Jason is reading Bret some books and then will put him to bed. I closed myself in the computer room so that Bret can't see me. I'm so bummed.

So not tech savvy

How the hell do I change my blog template?

I tried and I keep getting an error.

I. HATE. NOT. BEING. TECH. SAVVY.

Say ya to da UP eh

Oh how these two pictures make me wish we were in Houghton.
