ugh Donna, I feel for you. Rocco has been such a pill lately. He's hit the terrible twos and his thing is SCREAMING/YELLING as loud as he can. I think I've lost hearing this week. I couldn't count the number of times he went into time out yesterday.... Other people have started to comment on how LOUD he is when he is upset and it started to make me feel like a bad parent. We've really started to crack down on him and it's hard.
I miss my sweet little baby. Also makes me wonder if I'm crazy for wanting another baby!
Ya, both mine are LOUD. It'sd so frustrating cause I just don;t know what to do about it, esp in public. I started putting TAnner in time out adn it seems to be working some. He sits and crys but I think he's getting it.
thats what we have too, i learned REAL quick how to reset the stuff if it all went out! I would try that first before EVER calling them!
That definitely works and I do that. I shouldn't ahve to though. And using my Comcast email address is a real pain...I belong to alot of groups and Comcast likes to block their mail....grrr.

i have a comcast email too but i have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what it is! hahaha
SO I called my LSS to see if they had the doodle genie, and of course they didn't...grrrr I don't knwo why i'm surprised. I may call teh one in Florence on ruesday and head there if they have it. It's about a little over an hours drive but i really really want the genie..and I need some retail therapy right now.....hehehe

time out is what we are doing with Rocco. He will gutteral scream when he is frustrated or doesn't get his way...off to time out he goes. He usually screams on the way there and then for the first 25 seconds of his 2 min time out....sigh. It's so hard to keep your cool. I've tried to stop raising my voice at all and that's helping a bit too--at least it's helping my sanity a bit.
Boy Darcy, I'm just tryign to follow your family! I've never talked to Amber before. Next time when she has time to stay.
**We should all charge our signatures to add our "connection" to Darcy...LOL She knows everyone!
I am beginnning to think it is not meant for me to be on the puter today. PSE is on the desktop. So I went in there to resize my photo for my blog. Well, it keeps freezing! Now I have to take Katie to choir. so maybe when I get back things will want to work around here.

I know I dont' help when I yell but it's so hard when DH is away and it's just me.. I don't hae someone to take over so I can go calm down. Last night I went out to the garage and let out a very loud scream...hehehe ANd hten out there again, took Dh's mallet and smashed the work bench......I had to get it out somehow..hehehe It felt good. I wish i had a heavy bag to beat, at least with that, I'd be getting some exercise ;)

WOW...holy cow. Can you use some of that work time to count towards a degree is Child Development? Then work at a local hospital or something?
DH just called and he'll be home in an hour. I really figured theyd ride until dark. It'll be good to have him home - it's been quite without him today

Oh man, I don't know how you do it! I bet you could relate to my gf a ton--she has 2 year old twins and her husband is a chef so he's never home. Whenever I complain to her she rolls her eyes because I have it easy compared to her!
I hear you on the heavy bag. I wish we had one too. I used to run on the treadmill and that was a great way to get out my agression. my feet pounding seemed to pound out the stress...lately I've been eating instead and that's not really helping!
