Well, yesterday I finally picked up my lazy self and did a big house cleaning.  It's nice to have a spotless house even if just for  half an hour! lol  of course, kids toys ended up all over the floor in every room again and again and again.

And I also played lots of different games with Robert to keep him happy and busy. We worked in his pre-school workbooks, played Candyland and Chutes and Ladders, colored and cut out shapes in paper...played some video games together... we did a lot together all day.  And then wouldnt' you know it, he and frank started to play together, horsing around... and next thing  you know, Robert is disrespecting me in every possible way, yelling at me, bossing me around, all sorts of things.  So I punished him and told him he had to go in his room for a time out.... and he starts being even worse and I just about had it.  So i put him in his room and he starts to kick and hit everything, i mean walls, doors, furniture... everything!  I had enough and well, his games were taken away and he got two swats on the behind.  Now i hated having to do that, but he just wouldn't stop at all with the way he was treating me.  Needless to say, right after that, he was a perfect little boy, quiet and good and listened to everything.  I was exhausted by the end of the night with him.

Today, i'm just going to try and relax.  Robert has been good so far... but he's starting again because of the video games. And i really dont' want to budge on giving them back. 

I think i'll finally start working on my next Christmas stocking. I buy those kits to make them  yourself and i haven't had made one for myself yet. So I've had it out for almost two weeks now, and i still didn't start it. This one is very hard though because it has 80 separate pieces plus, you have to stuff, embroider, and add sequins and beads.  So, needless to say, usually they take me like 2 months to complete (granted i really don't work on them all day everyday, my back can't handle it).  So i've been meaning now for almost two weeks to get started on mine, and i just dont' h ave the energy since my back lately has been killing me and i'm lacking some good sleep.  Hopefully, i'll actually go ahead and get it started very very soon if not today! lol

Anyway, my back is killing me from sitting at the desk, so i'm going to take a little break here and try to lay down.  Talk to you all later.
