Oh, msbelle, how rough.
Is it too close-to-the-events to say that you're such a good mom by deciding on good boundaries and making sure you both live by them? That's so difficult, and you're doing such a good job (even though the results are still mostly hardships and anger and tiredness).
Back at work after a two week vacation. I even got to work before 7:00am. My body feels like it's still awake from the night before, though.

This one.
So, there is apparently water leaking from under my refrigerator. I just have no time or interest in dealing with this. Is it terrible to leave it until tonight? I noticed a little water last night (thought it was a spill), and there's not a ton this morning.
Could be condensation... does it have a icemaker or any kind of water hookup? Could it be a leak from pipes in the walls?
Some of these qualify as emergencies that would be appropriate to stay home from work to deal with, I have to say.
msbelle, hang in there. Note to self: Parenthood, not for the weak and easily frightened...
I'm good with stuff. I mean I want to smash the DS and yell and yell at him, but I gave him hugs and head kisses instead and told him that we were good and not to think about last night, just focus on school.
Having a child that does not snap to good behavior with the removal of priveledges or the threat thereof (but gets worse) and cannot maintain good bahavior with the promise of rewards, it just goes against all my learned knowledge of how things work in a household.
That's why you're working with the professionals on this one. Mac is like Childraising 501, the advanced seminar, from where I (childlessly) sit.
Happy Birthday Calli! Happy Birthday Burrell!
Mac is blessed to have you as a mother, msbelle. You will find a way together to make it work.
and now I must unsub from Natter because the week promises to be insane and I won't be able to keep up. sniff
Have a good week, Natterbugs.
Sorry, I forgot: Happy birthdays, Burrell and Calli!

It does not have either of those things, and I just put down a towel and left. Meh. It couldn't have waited ten days??
Older fridges I have known have had trays to catch water on the bottom. Maybe yours has one and it's overflowing for osme reason.
Hppy Birthday Burrell! Happy Birthday Calli!
