I am jealous of people with new babies today..I want a baby. Sadly I don't want to raise another child, smallgirlchild is plenty. So that means no new baby for me even if it were physically possible. I think more people should remember that the small baby is cute the temper tantrum throwing 10 year old not quite so much.

The raising a kid thing is hard...people don't tell you about the what to do when you spouse is as whiney and pouty as your child for example....hmmm maybe that should be my million dollar break through book,...how to raise a husband and child simultaneously.... Don't get me wrong, I love the hubby but last night I finally looked at him and asked if he could just pretend to be a grown up long enough to end the whining and get the kid to bed on a reasonable happy note. I feel like a failure when there is a big emotional scene right before she goes to bed.

OOOh has some fabulous dark chocolate with crystallized ginger in it...was a mother day gift and yummy!
