You take the Good, You take the Bad...

The past week or so has not been that fun. Ryan's bummed because of work and he keeps saying that his Masters degree was a waste of time, even though I keep telling him that it will pay off in the long run. He just says "ya right". Does it drive anyone else crazy when you get dismissed like that, it does me BIG TIME. Anyway for some reason Ryan's mood affect me more than than should, I'm working on the problem, but it's hard.

Also, Ethan and Mason have come down with yet another case of Pink Eye. Where this is all coming from I don't know. So I have had to keep them inside with no friends. They are getting really stir crazy and driving me NUTS!!! Ethan and Holly have gotten really used to playing outside with their friends and Mason is always wanting to be with his big brother and sister. So I can't win either way. I don't think that my and Ryan's mood has helped them to be happy either.

Mason has gotten pretty good at his army crawl and we have had to start closing doors so that he doesn't get into things. He also likes to lock himself in the room it self. He has also discovered screaming at Mom in protest. It's kind of like, "yuahg.... yuahg.....haa.......", at the top of his lungs and just the past couple of days he has been getting his whole body into it. Like that helps get his point across.

Holly has been really emotional lately, and here I thought that didn't start until she was 12 or 13. So needless to say I am not looking forward to that part of her teenage years if she is already this bad at 3. One cute thing that made me laugh was when I caught her "feeding" her baby. You can see in the picture that she has a stuffed pink moose under her shirt. She has been watching Mommy nurse her baby brother for almost a year now so she figured that is the way she needed to feed her babies. Our kids watch everything we do, don't they? Oh boy am I in trouble then.

Anyway, I think we need to just need to laugh more. I used to sit and tickle the kids until they got into a better mood. Maybe I should do that to Ryan...

Well I need to get back on track because I have a lot to do over the next little while. I always have the accounting for two condo associations to do each month, I have an Emergency Preparedness Super Saturday to plan and put together for Relief Society which has turned into a bigger nightmare as it is to include our ward pulse too others, and the kids start school in 6 weeks so we need to start getting ready for that.

Life goes on, doesn't it. We just have to figure out how to be happy in spite of it, eh?
