I hate disapointing my kids
So for Halloween we were going to go to Nightfall at Old Tucson Studios. Then my husband calls with two unexpected bills. So we can't go. I had to be the one to tell my daughter. She was so disappointed she had tears in her eyes. She is the 13one year old. So I offered her to have a last minute Halloween party tomorrow night. At first she was upset about it, but as she started to text her friends she started to feel better. I on the other hand, still feel really bad that I let her down.

My son is a butthead!
So this is my first day off in two weeks. Do I get to sleep in? No! My four year old wakes up at 6 am. All morning he has been running around with his head cut off. All morning he has been yelling at me and his sister; plus he has no patience this morning.
This morning was my husband's payday. We also had my "adopted" daughter Shauntelle spend the night. So I decided we would do donuts for breakfast. First we had to go get my husbands bank card and then gas. Aiden is sitting in his car seat in the back yelling at us that he wants donuts now. We tell him to hang on and we will go, then he starts crying.
We finally make it home and before I even put the car in park, he is crying that he wants out. I love my son to death. But it is only 9:15 and the whole house is ready to duct tape him to the wall.

The temper tantrums!
They are driving me nuts. Several weeks ago Aiden started throwing these temper tantrums. if you tell him no, doesn't get his way, or tell him he can't have something he starts screaming "I want (insert object her)" and humping up and down. Like this morning. I asked him he wanted oatmeal. He started a tantrum about wanting cereal. I was like ok just asking I will make you cereal. So i make it and set it on the table.
Then his bother comes in and makes some oatmeal. So now he is screaming over and over "I don't want cereal." and kicking on the living room floor. I had already made the cereal and after the fit he threw about having cereal, I was not going to give in.
That is the battle that has been going on in my house. Aiden is throwing these tantrums to get attention, plus he knows when he does through a tantrum, he will get what he wants. This morning I ignored him while he sat in the living room screaming that he didn't want cereal. I got up to go to my room to get ready for work and I hear Anthony tell Aiden that he can have the rest of his cereal. Exactly, Aiden got his way. I know everyone in the house is frustrated. These tantrums happen so frequently and they can last anywhere from 10 mins to 30 mins.
Alexis has been complaining about having a constant headache due to her brother. Everyone gets so annoyed with Aiden's tantrum that they give in and give him what they want. I have tried explaining to my husband and the kids that they need to just ignore those fits. It drives me crazy when he has them, but I just walk away and go on with my business. Eventually he realizes I am not paying attention and moves on.
That is what I am trying to get everyone else to realize. I keep telling my husband to completely ignore him. Don't even punish him for the temper tantrums. Aiden knows just how to manipulate his father and get what he wants.
I just hope he grows out of this phase soon!

The babysitter
It was so cute going to check on the kittens and finding my 7 month old cat, Deedee, babysitting the kittens. I tracked down mama and found her laying by the bathroom door, just relaxing.
As for the kittens. They are doing great. Getting nice round bellies. And one of them has started to open their eyes.

What I want the kids to dress up as for Halloween, as opposed to what they want to be.
We haven't even started looking at costumes this year yet. i know we are running so late lol, even though Halloween isn't tell the end of the month. I have never been really big on telling the kids what they have to be for Halloween. My 4 year old doesn't care and I could do what ever I want to him. The older two, I guess as long as it is not disrespectful or something.
One discussion did come up recently with my 11 year old that I disagree with. He decided this year that he does not want to go trick or treating. In my family it has always been a tradition. Everyone dresses up including the parents. He said he just doesn't feel like it this year. i am still in the process of trying to convince him it will be fun. I don't want to force him if he doesn't want to go, but it wouldn't be the same without him.

That would have to be any celebrity parent involved in the media right now. Whether it be Tom and Kate or Brad and Angelina. I do not understand these parents who put their kids all over the papers and expose all their family issues. And let's face it, most of these issues I would find completely embarrassing and wouldn't wont the whole world to know about it.
Most of all I feel sorry for the children. They are under constant watch and have no time to enjoy their childhood. They have to be on their best behavior cause what if the paparazzi were to catch them doing something inappropriate. Mom and dad are constantly bickering on the news and everywhere the go they see their faces plaster all over the magazines.
This is not the life I would want for my children. I do not understand why these celebrity parents do it to their children. Yes I may blog. But I am in control of what I put on the web and I can control who sees it.
Happy Reading!
