#46

Today, J was off work. Gotta love the Army and their 4-days. For those civies, we get four days off for most holidays instead of three, one a month. They are really great if you have money to go places and your husband puts in a mileage pass! (Mileage passes are required to go outside a 200K or 120mile radius)

My husband did not turn in a pass. So we weren't able to go to Prague for the day like I had wanted. We weren't able to go to Munich. We could have gone to Bamberg, but then we didn't. Instead, we stayed at home, spending most of the day in pajamas watching CSI:NY and dealing with two two year old girls.

Man, they are really testing me lately. They try to be so independent. They have attitudes. They throw fits. They try to run away from me. And I am kind of wondering what I should do now. Time outs are effective, but also a huge fight. Spanking shocks them, but them makes they cry which just adds to the drama. Ignoring them doesn't seem to do anything. I am just not having fun with all this. I love my girls, but the way they are acting lately is not a joyful occasion for me.

And at the end of Day 46, I am trying to figure out why exactly I am still blogging... and I am being such a Debbie Downer. This stage in my life is really getting me down.

But as always, tomorrow is a new day.
