Mini horse gets lifesaving prosthetic leg: http://news.yahoo.com/video/odd-15749658/mini-horse-gets-lifesaving-prosthetic-leg-24622712
hmmmmmm. Our styles and ideas on color are so freaking different, I may have to pester her on this idea……….
I think I know just the theme too.We will be making zombie t shirts. It’s a little silly but I was wearing some Abercrombie and Fitch sweat pants and they have a little moose as their icon. As a passing thought I wished their was a clothing brand that had dragon,griffins, unicorn, or zombies as an icon. Well everything has a clothing brand but zombies. I drew up a cute little zombie icon that would look cute on a polo shirts kind of like the alligator or polo pony. Than we made a t shirt that said Arrgrrzombie. My friends went nuts. So we bought the URL name and are trying to find a place to print our stuff. Silly I know but I think it will be fun!
My hubby has been laid off since last June, tomorrow morning he goes back to work!! HECK YEAH!! :party: (having him home all day was starting to get on my nerves!) :sick:

I sure hope so! When do the terrible twos end???? :tired:
Unfortunately when the Gosh Awful, Get The Exorcist, Psychotic Three’s begin…
One of my friends wrote this (and you have to remember that when me boyohs were in Kindergarten there were 6 sets, with more up and coming. We had one family that two sets…)
“Are parenting experts actually… parents? Being one myself, I have a serious bone to pick with them: The “terrible twos” are crap. The hell on earth I want to stuff my child in a dresser drawer and take a three hour bath while consuming a bottle of wine “terrible threes” are more like it. Or, is it just me?
Lily hit a rough patch around 18 months that ended well before she turned two. Her second year was a pleasure. I remember boasting to my childless friends, who were too naive to clue me in on what was to come, that we must have skipped the terrible twos altogether. How lucky we were! And then she turned three. Hellooooo, devil child. She suddenly had an opinion about everything. She stopped cooperating for anything and began talking back. Her baby brother fell victim to her wrath, more than once bearing evidence in the form of teeth marks. Where had my little angel gone? It was awful. But it was over as quickly as it began and the following year was pretty much a breeze.
Ben seems to be continuing on the same track. Two was fabulous. Adorable, chocolate covered sweetness with just the occasional hint of difficulty. But like clockwork, at a few months over three, he has become a little argumentative pain in the ass. He has developed some serious selective listening. He suddenly has great interest in his attire. Stripes are stupid and brown looks like poop. He refuses to wear appropriate coats and even has begun giving me input on my clothing choices. He eats three foods willingly: Grilled cheese, macaroni and grapes. Anything else results in kicking and screaming for the both of us. Meltdowns are an everyday occurrence and he appears to thrive on pissing me off. Funny as he thinks he is, I’m less than amused. He can be pretty… terrible.
The good news is, if Lily was any indication, this phase will be short lived. The bad news? Evan isn’t far behind. God help me.”
Good Luck and God Speed – hanging on to YOUR temper will be the hardest thing youever do in this stage of life, especially when everyone says “oh they’re just so well behaved” You should aughta see ’em at home! The better the behavior in public the worse it seems to be in private… People with young twins ask me if it gets any better and my answer is “no, it’s just a different kind of hard” Wait until they’re teenagers and taller than you and can’t decide if they’re 3 or 15 and dad joins in!
Over night I turned into the smartest person in their world to the dumbest old blonde in history. I’m told this stage lasts until they’re about 18 or 19. God Help Me! I keep telling myself “I did this on purpose, I did this on purpose. I went through all the garbage of getting them here for 10 years. This is what I wanted and I did it on purpose!” What on God’s green earth was I thinking? I love them with all my heart but there are days when their behavior is sooo awfull now that they come home from school to find no bedroom doors on their rooms and they have to earn it back…
Just a different sort of hard… and in Idaho they can legal drive at 14 and a half! Luckily mine haven’t wanted to yet…

p.s. just enjoy as much of them as you are able now and ALWAYS look for the good in the day (or night) write down the cute, funny things they did so on the days when it’s a Hell on Earth and even Dante’s Inferno can’t describe it, you’ll at least be able to smile or grin or gigggle and say “oh yeah! it was pretty funny!”

One day we took them to an Asian buffet restaurant. A man walked past and said, “Oh, what sweet little boys! Are they twins? My twin boys just turned 7-years-old, trust me, you think it’s hard now, it only gets worse!” KTHNXBAI! WHA?
Everyday I have a new, somewhat unbelievable story to tell. I try to catch all the goofy things they do on video (and when they are being bad, sometimes it calms them down to watch themselves being silly on my computer!). And my hubby taught them some colorful new words. We had an awful hailstorm a week or two ago. Johnny looked out the window and said, “Look at the baseballs, Mommy! Oh, SH**”
sigh…….We should write a REAL parenting book. There needs to be a book of advice on what to do when your 2-year-old draws a picture on the wall using the contents of his diaper, how to remove a pea from a nostril, or what kind of cleaner removes Pop Tart from carpet (I know that Windex removes Sharpie doodles from First Edition, Signed Hardcover books. UGH). If there is a book out there with that kind of advice in it, I WANT IT!
After months of applying to jobs I got an interview on Monday! :bigsmile:
Finally, after MONTHS massive stress and crap, things may be starting to look up.
