I have three beautiful kids…and I’m not just saying this because I’m their mother, but because they are truly beautiful kids with hearts that make you melt! They are the reason I wake in the mornings and the purpose of my being. The sad part about it is that they won’t be small forever. So, I thought I’d make a special little post dedicated to them…To my babies; I love you so much! Here’s to you!        

   Good morning everyone…I was playing around with my littlest one the other night and she decided to show me how flexible she was…WOW…she’s going to be a contortionist when she grows up if she keeps this up.

    I’ve been pretty busy with Economics studies the past couple of weeks so excuse me for not writing a very long post. I basically just wanted to share some pictures of my little one showing off her little flexibility moves. Hope you like!!!!

Okay…so last night I started playing around with Animoto and I had so much fun. Animoto is a program (no install) that allows you to make custom music videos, commercials (for businesses)…and it’s so easy. All you have to do is follow the three simple steps; pick the pictures you want, pick the music (either from your computer or from their list of music) and finally…finalize. That’s it!!! They do the rest. It takes just a little while to see the end results. What’s even neat is that no one video is alike. If you send it through to remix it again you’ll come up with a totally different video. It’s addicting!!!! So, I’m sure you’d like to see what I’m talking about. . .

 
I tell ya, it was the funnest, easiest way to make videos and the results are amazing. If you’d like to create your own too…click here.

So, I’ve been thinking all day about what I should write and frankly…I’m at a loss. I have many ideas, but nothing worth while writing about. For the better part of my days I spend listing to bickering kids that don’t seem to get along to save MY life(which has also contributed to the loss of concentration on what to write). From about 10 minutes after wake up until 10 minutes after I’ve put the kids (mainly the girls) to bed they do nothing but bicker at each other (aside from the occasional lashing out at each other in the most unapropriate ways). What gives? How can to beautiful little girls argue like they’re mortal enemies? I just don’t get it.

      It drives me crazy…and to top it all off; at times my 15 year old son can be the intimidator of all chaos. Maybe spanking their behinds would do the trick since I’m all talk and no discipline. Well, I can’t say that I don’t  discipline, but if I did make an effort to Really get after them at times maybe they’d calm down some or maybe there wouldn’t be so much commotion in the house. I spend hours upon hours taking many deep breaths. Sometimes there are just not enough remedies in the world for calming your mind from rambunctious kids.

    I can’t say that they are entirely uncooperative, at times they can be the sweetest things to me and to each other, but more than not, they can’t even voice their opinions without the others jumping down their throats for being wrong. They all try to pull me to their side as if we are playing tug-of-war and I just can’t win for loosing with these battles they so commonly have.

  Am I the only one who faces the battle of bickering kids? How long will this last before I can see some sanity in the household? This stuff is driving me crazy!?! H-E-L-P!!!!!
