OUR FAMILY CHAOS

Well yesterday morning Mason used his potty and got a new Barney Book. Then he used it at school -- which he almost always does. As we were leaving daycare he ran into the parking lot and I hollered for him to stop and he didn't so I told him he was going to get a time out. So he turns to look at me and says YOU'RE KILLING ME MOMMY! So we had a talk and a little spanking action. Then I called his daddy and told him if I hear him saying that again I was going to put him and Mason in time out together! It was just an expression he said -- an expression your son used when he was getting in trouble!!!! Then he was good the rest of the night. He pee peed on the potty again -- got a coloring book (the book thing seems to be working) and then we went back to potty again and he said he didn't need to pee pee he needed to poo poo and he pooped on the potty --- Whew Hoow! So then we went out for ice cream! The small rewards are working so hopefully it will not be long before he is potty trained. Then I had Mason's best friends mother call me and tell me she was a little concerned about their new teacher. She then proceeded to tell me that Mason was in time out when she got there and was strapped to the chair. Then she said it was over 5 minutes that he was strapped to the chair -- state law is no longer than 1 minute per year of age so 2 minutes is max. So tomorrow when he goes back to school -- he isn't going today he is staying home with Scott (he stays home when Scott is off) I am going to tie the new teacher to a damn chair if she even thinks about tying Mason or any other child to a damn chair again.

Also on a sad note a girl at worked has been battling Small Cell Cancer for over a year and she lost the battle yesterday. Please keep her 4 year old daughter Shelby in your prayers and Brandi's family as well. Brandi was only 25 years old and she endured more pain than anyone could possibly imagine.

More news later I gotta run to work.
