Today I took the kids to CVS to pick up a few things.  As always, the kids walk with me.  I really do not use the stroller for them and have not for awhile.  There is nothing wrong with using one, but for my family, I like the kids to be able to walk and stay close by.  I feel the only way they learn this is by doing this.  So, we do not use a stroller.  When the baby comes, I plan on having her in the sling - so again, no stroller.  (Until the learning to walk age to about 1.5, where both Sam and Kit needed to be in a stroller, lol...)

So back to the story... we were in CVS.  As we shop, I tell them one item at a time what we are getting.  "OK kids, lets get dad some deodarant, it is down this isle," I say pointing to the isle. They will often run a little ahead and when they get to the item I tell them to stop.  I often ask them which item they like best and then decide on the best item for price.  Then it is off to the next item.

Today when we got to the check out, an older cashier who regularly works there said to me that I have great control over my kids.  They are two of the best behaved kids on a reguiar basis that she sees.  Most parents let there kids run a-muck.  It is particularly refreshing cause mine are so young.  I said thank you, but my kids are just good kids, so they make it easy.  She then said good kids come from good parents.  I smiled and said thanks again.

That just made my day.  We often hear such nasty stuff in life, it is so refreshing to hear something nice.  So I am taking a moment and shamelessly bragging about my well behaved kiddos.  YEAY SAM AND KIT!!!!!

Onto other stuff...

I have decided to tell my one relation about the Tylenol 3 thief cause she has young kids and they see the drug addict fairly reguarly.  I will do it in person and keep it low key.  Being she has kids, young kids, I feel that she needs to know.  And as far as the butt head who stole my pain med, I am just writing her off for good.  I will not send her a thank you for the kid's presents (altho I was very tempted to write "thanks for the kids presents.  Hope you found everything you needed..."),  I think no contact will be enough.  I can not prove it with physical evidence and this person has already proven themself in the past to be volitile and agressive.  I do not need that.  I just will never have her in my house or around my kids again.  She is OFF the list!  That there is the problem solved.  And it is no real loss anyway.

Thank you guys tho for the support and advice.  If I thought there was something to refuge, I might, but I think this woman is in denial.  Unless she is willing to admit she has a problem, she will never fess up and do the right thing.

Back to happier stuff...

Today;s NST showed baby girl doing great.  My fluid is gradually going down which perinatal said is good.  It means baby girl is practive breathing and peeing and doing all the stuff she should be.  Yeay!  And now is she comes, even with no amnio, they will not stop her.  Come on down Miss baby girl Lee!  Even if she lingers in the land of free rent, she will be here in 11 days.  If she lingers, I will enjoy my undistrubed evening TV time and if she comes sooner, I will be holding my sweet new baby.  Either way, I can deal.

Night!
