muthahood aint for sissies: Our Birthday Ritual
- 02/07/07 06:54 PM
When you have six kids, it can be VERY hard to make each kid feel special. There are just so many of them. So we make birthdays VERY, VERY SPECIAL. After they fall asleep, we decorate their room with balloons, streamers, flags, and a large Happy Birthday sign. It's fun for The Hubby and I to take the time to make it special for each of them. We have it down to a science now. We can blow up 10 balloons and set all the decorations up in less than 10 minutes. The goal is to make the room as … (7 comments)
muthahood aint for sissies: Oprah Helped Me Potty Train My Daughter!
- 02/07/07 02:33 AM
Two weeks ago, I was going insane. Potty training is a horrible, horrible thing. To me, it's got to be like Basic Training. You can prepare as much as you want, but you will never understand the true pain one goes through until you have been in the trenches. The book, Army Basic Training: Be Smart, Be Ready describes an insider's view of Army Basic Training. The Table of Contents are as follows: Get Physically FitGet Mentally FitThe Phases Of Basic TrainingDrill Sergent Advice I wish I had a handbook like this for Potty Training. Maybe I should of just followed … (8 comments)

I HATE Potty Training. I'm not sure if there is anything worse when it comes to raising a toddler. I have done it four times already, and it doesn't get any easier. It has actually gotten harder. I wonder if it is harder because I am older, more tired, less patient, and distracted by other little people running around the house. Maybe. But I truly believe it is because I cannot stand the sound of my daughters voice when she whines.
Yeah, there's more to this one right here! … (13 comments)
muthahood aint for sissies: OOOHHH The Laundry!
- 01/18/07 07:01 PM
Laundry can be overwhelming to say the least and monotonous at best. My old routine was a load a day. It was quick and easy. Our old washer/dryer set was nine years old. I like the word was because we just got the new fan-dangled Kenmore, throw 27 towels and the kitchen sink and still have room for that darn shirt on the floor set. We've been planning this purchase for over a year now. I'm so glad we planned it because the timing could not of been better. With the freezing temperatures hitting Southern California, and the need for SWEATSHIRTS … (16 comments)
muthahood aint for sissies: Who Left This On The Counter?
- 01/06/07 01:56 AM
If you have more than one kid, the dishes can get ridiculous. You can imagine what it's like with six. Just the drinking glasses can be horrific. They did for me. My four boys would use 3 to 4 cups each on any given Saturday. Forget about the “I didn’t leave that cup outside” arguments. It was crazy. The amount of yellow cups sitting on counters, tables, and the front yard sidewalk had tipped me over the edge. What was I gonna do? Here's a clue... [to read more, click here] … (8 comments)
