All weekend I've had this need/want to work on something creative. Due to still feeling just so-so and a lack of clear thinking, I've done nothing. I miss scrapbooking and I pulled all my scrapbooking things out the other day. The problem? I have no photos. I have a million old photos, but I need to work on finishing Camden's first year scrapbook and to add more to Merci's. Merci's scrapbook only has her ultrasound pictures in it! That's pathetic! Ha! Since going digital back in late 2004, most of my photos are on disc needing to get printed. I actually have about 500 pictures uploaded to a site to get printed but it's going to cost me over $50 to get them. Ug! I used to print my favorites myself, but the problem is we have a Dell printer and the ink is outragous. The cost for our new ink would be more than the cost to get those prints printed. It's crazy. Wow! That was awefully whinny! Sorry 'bout that. I just hate when I have this urge to create and there is no real outlet.
I'm hoping to have a good day later this week to take some spring pictures of the kids. I haven't done so yet. I had a really good friend of mine contact me about doing pictures for her of her and her husband. I'm really excited about it. They will be so easy to photograph, they are always full of smiles! I feel bad because all that has been happening lately, I have yet to go do pictures of my friend's baby. First it was that they were going to be out of town, then we all got sick, and then I think their trip got postponed and they are going out of town now. I'm sure we will work something out.
My daughter is such a bully. She is tough and lately she takes her energy out on her brother. She pushes him out of the way when she wants something, she hauls off and hits him on the head for no apparent reason, and she screams. Oh yes, our sweet, little, "shy", Merci-girl SCREAMS! If you simply tell her no as kindly as you can, she screams. She will even throw her head back and scream so hard she turns red and coughs because she gags herself. We've been trying our best to ignore her as to not draw attention to her behavior. By doing so, she seems to stop quicker than when we try to discipline her by putting her in time out. She NEVER does it in public or in anyone else's home, so I believe it's just a test. She wants to see what she can get away with. She's at that tough age that makes it hard to find a form of discipline that is appropriate for her age. She's caught between being a baby and a toddler. All I know is...Pfffew! It's exhausting!
Wow, I really need to stop right here. I am sounding so negative this morning. Really, my attitude is not so, so I'm not sure why I am so whinny. I'm gonna go now...have a happy, creative, none-whinny day everyone!

I think it would be so funny to let Merci and Tytus play together! He beats on Arielle pretty good too - the thing is, she's so petite and he's so chunky he can take her. She gets upset when I scold him though, "Bubby is just playing!"
The other thing he does that sounds similar to Merci is cry so hard he almost passes out. He's done it several times, usually if he gets hurt from playing. But, the other day, I smacked his little hand for fighting with Arielle and he hysterically went walking towards the couch, then I hear this thud and turn and look, he had went limp and fallen to the ground. I can assure you he wasn't even hurt!
But, like Merci, he's really a sweet natured and fun and loving little guy. And, like you, (and unlike when his sister was a baby) I can't seem to discipline him because "he's just a baby".
