You'll love it.

So Ellee has been going through that phase of Im-gonna-do-what-i-wanna-do-no-matter-what-you-say-even-if-your-gonna-discipline-me phase.
Do you know this phase?
Have you been acquainted?
I am acquainted. My hubs is acquainted.
And frankly, we're frenemies with it. You know, like friends but actually enemies.
Thats how I am trying to look at it. Its Ellee's sinful nature coming to the forefront. Thankfully I've been told it is JUST a phase and should disappear soon enough. In the meantime I am battling myself as to why she is behaving like so, and what, if anything can I do to tackle it.
Stick to my guns is what I've been trying to keep in mind. Don't back down. I figure if I am consistent and I actually do what I say I am gonna do, she wont doubt me and think she can possibly get away with something. So far it's been a losing battle and she either
A. Thinks she can run fast enough to avoid discipline
B. Think she get her own vengeance on me with disciplining me back :-o

Everyone always says being a mom is hard. It is. It can be really hard. And there are days when I just want to rip my hair out, or take an uninterrupted nap, or actually enjoy each bite of my meals, or...what does it matter? It doesnt :)
Everyone says being a mom is hard,  but no one ever says how much you'll love it.
You'll love it.

Now let me tell you how the past couple days have been going.

AVOID THIS SEGMENT IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WEAK STOMACHS. 


Thursday Matt was sick and stayed home from work.
Friday I was acquainted with the bug and Matt was getting over it.
Saturday we had to cancel plans with friends since I was sick. :( Matt also put mulch in the gardens and the backyard resulting in Ellee's new favorite thing to do. pick up handfuls of mulch and sit and throw it down the window well. Officially, I HATE MULCH. 
Sunday I stayed home for church to lessen the spread of germs. Sunday afternoon Ellee Scarlett had a poop flinging party. Sunday afternoon we Mommy got to clean it up. Daddy was off the premises which we were thankful for. He doesn't do well with poop.
Monday......Ellee emptied all contents of her stomach for absolutely no reason other then the fact that she didnt want to eat her dinner. Mommy sat there freaking out and has learned in moments as such you must react as quickly as possible to lessen the damage. Daddy was ON the premises and was not impressed and spent much time leaving rooms to avoid having his own issues. However he did carry the entire highchair with Ellee in it upstairs to the bathroom to help with cleanup, but Mommy did all the raunchy hosing down. blugh!
This was quickly followed by Peyton emptying her stomach all over mommy. This resulted in mommy taking 30 and running errands...solo.  :)

I just realized that this is all TMI (too much information). I'll be sure to put a note at the beginning to help those with the weak stomachs to avoid reading.

Oh and just so you know. I STILL love being mama :)
