Book Recommendation

I had to let everyone know about a really great parenting book. In all of the parenting books that I have bought I think that this one is the first one that I have finished. Usually I get bored or don't really agree with what the people are saying. This book is different. I saw it on one of my long walks through Target. I was hoping my feeling sick would end and was tired of feeling totally exhausted and boy, those hormones. I needed something to help me seem more sane (or at least so my kids and Patrick could think I was). Not to say it has led to never screaming, but it has help tremendously. For those of you who are familiar with the "Love and Logic" technique, this follows it really closely. And even for those people who don't scream or can't, (ha, ha, Cadi - is this getting old yet?) it is really about just keeping your cool when your kids are driving you crazy. Hope you enjoy it and learn as much as I did. My next book that is coming in the mail is "How to talk so your kids will listen and listen so your kids will talk". I will let you know what I think of that one.

Cooliio! OH I scream...WITH ALL CAPS... and with my eyes. Oh, my kids know when they really ticked me off. Isaw the title of the book and I knew there was going to be some sort of mention of me, lol. What is getting old though is when my sisters say "what?" just to irritate me cuz they know I hate it when people can't hear me! So, if you can't hear me just smile and act like you do...jk. lol

Dearest friend of mine,
why have you not posted any belly shots of your darling baby bump? You will be greatly disappointed if you don't have pictures. Please tell me you at least have pictures but aren't sharing!
