How To Cope With Toddler Tantrums -- You Are NOT Welcome Terrible Two's!

Lately Dorrian has been driving me NUTS. I mean literally, crazy. To where my head feels all foggy and I lose my train of thought daily because I am listening to his screaming constantly. I mean, I caused this. I caused this constant screaming whenever I tell him "NO digging in the fridge! No sitting on the puppy! NO punching!" I never pulled my finger out and told him before whenever it started. So now he just thinks he can get by with everything and anything. So I must deal with my consequences.

Funny thing though, EVERYONE told me, "Heather you have to put him in time out and spank his little butt!" But I was like No, I will not so no such thing. But truth be told, your child will love you more if they respect you. Like the bible says, "spare the rod and spoil the child." I live by that now. I understand it. Endure it. Live it. When he gets into things, I try to take the approach of getting up and telling him, "Dorrian if I get over there and you haven't stopped, mama will spank." Usually when he hears me walking towards him, he will stop doing whatever it is. But if not I spank his butt and put him in a chair. He cries for a wee bit but then stops and doesn't do it again until an hour later that is.

 Everyone warned me for this, but I always thought it was a little over dramatic. Now here we are trying to cope and trying not to pull my hair out.

Discipline is the best thing you can do for your child though. My husband can just snap his fingers and Dorrian will stop. I want that. That sounds so bad to say, but it is so true. I read that kids can actually sense that their mother is pregnant and have the tendency to act more aggressive because of it. I guess out of jealousy and change. But I remember that whenever he pull his trigger. It helps.

So how do you get there? Spanks and more spanks. Time out and more time out. Until he leans he can not get by with anyone. He HAS to listen to me, no other option. If you have any advice please share.

Sorry I have not posted in awhile. I am finally settled in at my parents and coping this time. I am a little more active on my instagram so follow! I follow back, as long as you are not trying to sell me anything (like those it works wraps.) I had to delete them all because they blew up my news feed with and it got annoying, no harm feelings though!

R.I.P Robin Williams

I want to take this time to remember Robin Williams, the amazing actor that could make just about anyone laugh. Two days ago whenever I was visiting my parents just about to go and pick up pizza, my mother was flipping through the channels because there was just nothing on T.V. what so ever. She suddenly stopped and gasped and on the HLN news channel in big bold red font it said, "Robin Williams DEAD OF SUSPECTED SUICIDE." At first my reaction was just silence first one of my favorite actors was dead and secondly it was a suicide. He suffered with depression and addiction, which everyone believes is the reason he decided to end his life. My heart shattered, and I was barely able to think of anything else since then. This touched my heart more than when Michael Jackson's death, mainly because I grew up with Robin Williams movies. Mrs. Doughtfire, Jack, Jumanjie, and The Dead Poets Society. All four of them were probably on my favorite movie's list. I remember watching The Dead Poets Society in school and being so addicted to the movie that I wanted to watch it over and over. So addicted that every time it came on T.V. I would stop whatever I was doing just so I can watch it. Robin Williams touched the lives of so many over his career and was hands down one of the best actors there is.

Yesterday I sat on my parents couch with my covers, flipping though each news channel listening to the news anchors interviewing each of the people that were so lucky to be apart of Robin Williams life. I would cry when they would tell the wonderful stories of what he would do for others. Like when he visited a dying little girl who's wish was to meet Mrs. Doughtfire, he spent four hours by her side. Or when he befriended a gorilla that was heartbroken over the loss of her friend. It is hard to find human beings that touched people the way Robin Williams did, because face is humanity is not what it used to be. So I take this time to write the sorrow of losing Mr. Williams.

I loved your movies, you were an amazing actor. R.I.P Robin Williams.

Moving Back In With The Parents -- Again

Well as you all know as of right now we live on the lake. Not literally on the lake, but we are renting a duplex five minutes from the lake. I guess we got a little in over our heads with this move. But we were just so desperate to get out of our apartment that we would do anything. We fell in love with this house and how beautiful and calm it was. But money does not grow on trees, as most people may think. With me being a stay at home mother and my husband being the only one bringing in income it makes thing tight. Especially with another one on the way, money is tight living quite far away from my husbands job. Gas is what is getting us, money for gas is just crazy. So once again we are moving back in with my parents. Well, why don't you guys find a house in town close to your husbands job to rent, you may ask. Well we are wanting to save money. Save as much money as possible so that we can afford a nice house in town. Plus, we need a savings and to pay off all of our credit cards so that we can build our credit. So when the time comes that we need a mortgage our credit won't be what is stopping us. The responsible decision is to move back in with my parents, as much as I do not want to. We have to if we want a savings and find the perfect house. Writing this makes me realize how much I do not want to move in with my parents, haha. But you have to do what you have to do, right?

Anyways, America you suck. Since we live in such a small town and my husbands job is located in a small town, he does not make nearly as much as he should. He is a MANAGER of a hotel in Sherman and we struggle, I just do not get it. But I know if we lived in Sherman everything would be awesome. The only reason why I do not have a job because we both believe it is for the best for ME to raise my son instead of day care and so that I can go to school. But I thought I would update you all and let you know what was going on. Enjoy this crazy ride, because I know I will need you all once I move back in with my mother. Oh dear. Here we go.

I Have Some News -- Pretty Exciting News

Well I found out about a week ago, but just haven't had the energy nor time to post anything. But now I am here to let you guys know the news and hope you are all as excited as I am. I was going to have some sentimental pictures to go with it, but I am just not one of those sorts of people. By that I mean, my husband does not take pictures of or with me. But if I could or if he was, I would jump on it and it probably would make this news a little more exciting.

 Anyways, the news is... I am pregnant! Wow, two kids at 21.. is probably what you are thinking. But I wanted it to happen. I remember whenever I was pregnant with Dorrian whenever I had to go and get my first check up at the health department. They looked at my chart and noticed I was 18 and asked me, "Did you plan this? Or want this to happen?" I wanted to slap them. I believe that if you are too immature or unfit to be a parent then you should not be having sex. I hate abortion, I hate people that think it is okay no matter the excuse. That is just me. But yes I am pregnant and can not way to bring him/her into the world. Hopefully it is a her, because I want a girl SO bad. I want her to have red hair and blue eyes. That is my one wish for this pregnancy, besides being healthy pregnancy of course. So we shall wait and see. I am about 5 weeks pregnant I believe.

I am waiting on my health care to kick before I can set up an appointment with a gyn yet. But I am so impatient and excited. Since I have been through this before, I am impatient because I know what is going to happen. Just have to wait I guess. Well, I just wanted to let you guys know the news and sorry for being so lazy lately. My hormones are going NUTS. I will be happy one minute and the next just wanting to bang my head into a brick wall. Stress is probably the number one thing on my list lately too. Which isn't the healthiest thing ever, but I can not seem to help it. So bare with me.

 Hope you all have a great night/day whatever time range you all live in.

 God Bless!
