Am I...A Control Freak??



Yes, I know...they're so adorable!==>



Oh my my my! Today was one of those days again! I had 3 papers to rock out today for school, my sister in law was here for EVER, and the baby is into everything, and climbing all over the place. Well, my husband took a little nap, and I woke him up to deal with the little one, and every time I looked over, he was sleeping again, and she was just crawling free...then, she fell and smashed her face on the coffee table. I shouldn't have--but I sort of blamed him; he was sitting right there, but he was watching TV, and therefore wasn't paying attention to her. He was going to take her to his mother's house and I told him no.





I just feel like nobody can pay attention to my daughter like I can pay attention to my daughter. She's only safest when I know that I am in control of everything: where she crawls, what she climbs on, what goes in her mouth.





Am I neurotic?

All I Want for Christmas...


oh, mother in-law,
with the best of intentions,
I'm sorry to say--
this is your intervention....
I've tried oh so hard
with a smile on my face,
but subtlety is failing,
and I'm losing faith.
So I'm saying here now,
before this heads south--
Get that piece of pie
Out of my baby's mouth!
She's too young for a sucker
She's not big enough for cake
When I tell you No
that advice you should take!
And don't let your dog
Lick her poor lips
Would you let him lick you there?
He licks where he sh*ts!
You got to raise your kids
and you did just fine
But step back, oh mother in-law,
and Let me raise mine!
