my newest addiction!

My newest addiction is finding other "heart" mom's out there and to find out that I am truly blessed! Now how can I say that I am blessed when I have a heart baby and a sometimes bratty 3 yr old? Well a lot of heart mom's out there and have lost their babies and I still have mine or some mom's out there have a 3 yr old that can't walk and talk and aggravate their mom's everyday. So I am blessed. Although, Collin can't do the "normal" things an one year old can do, he is doing things on his own time and I am forever grateful for him and the things he IS doing. I was having a self-pity party for myself yesterday and I really want Collin to be "normal" but to me he is normal. A stranger might wonder well "How come your 1 yr old isn't walking?" Well when I tell them, they look at me dumbfounded and then feel stupid for trying to make me feel stupid. Make sense? As of right now Collin sleeps almost thru the night. He goes down around 8pm most days and the others he goes down around 7pm, and sleeps until 3 or 4am then goes back to sleep until my sweet little Mallory wakes us up. On a side note, I am getting extremely frustrated with Mallory again. She is into not listening again and so we yell at her more now and I am really not liking this side of me again. I have started the time-out thing again with her and hopefully she will get the hang of it. She is so MEAN to her cat but the stinking cat STILL loves her. I think Shadow thinks Mallory is her mommy or something, it is quite cute though. As far as my job goes, I really like the kids, but once again these little ones do not listen. I am hoping once they get the hang of the routine they will settle down and be quiet. But hey, you can't expect much from pre-ker's, kindergartners and first graders. Well laundry is calling and I have an hour before I have to go to work. I think I am going to start blogging more if I can get the hang of it and make time for it. After all a one year old and 3.5 year old will keep ya busy. Will post pics soon!
