To put it blatent and direct.......Life has been so freaking HARD!
First, my back pain is at the top of my list of why life sucks! It has gotten so bad I had to stop all exercise and just let my body rest and stay chewy. Pain has always been the reason for stopping exercise programs. I am so sick of it. Good news is that I found a certain ridiculous diet that helps the pain. Such a long story I will save you all the details. But, I am getting so super depressed that I pretty much can't eat anything I enjoy without the consequence of pain.
Second, I feel like a failure as a mom. I have about the most strong willed 2 year old on the face of this planet. If any of you out there can relate I am so sorry. She is so stinking stubborn and relentless. I am completely sleep deprived and I feel my patience running thin. I am always so ornery and mean. I feel like I need a shrink or someone to tell me it gets better and that she won't be the end of me. Brian and I are constantly saying silent prayers for help to know how to get through to her. There is a fight with EVERYTHING. Dang....we are at our ends rope. Help!!!
On a more light note.........a friend of mine emailed me a picture of Little Debbie because he said it reminded him of Emmi. It put a little smile on my face!
Update on my beloved little Jack, Jackers, Jack Bird, Jacky.....
He is 5 months old now and growing up before our eyes. Funny how that happens!
Things he is up to doing!
- rolling all over
- reaches and grabs for anything in sight with his amazingly LONG arms!
- giggles, screams, and squeals
- still spits up on command
- not a binky man AT ALL
- sleeps on his tummy for naps. back for night
- adores his big sister even though she's rough
- can sit up with a little bit of support
- total mama's boy
