I'm going to start out by asking a question that has nothing to do with dieting and weightloss. Am I raising a little boy or a absolute ball of craziness? I think the answer is a big, fat, bonafide BOTH!
On the weeks when we are travelling and I don't have a baby sitter to leave the cute little bundle of joy with, Robbie and I take turns taking him on our sales calls with us. He gets frustrated with me because he has to sit nicely in a stroller and be a good boy while I try to hoodwink my customers into buying my sugar pills (anyone who knows me, knows I really don't believe that...it just sounded funny). Anyone who knows a 1 year old will attest to the fact that sitting nicely and being super quiet won't fly. When he rides with daddy, he gets to run up and down the isle of the tool truck while Robbie's customers comment on how cute the little boy is and by the way will buy the $20,000 tool he's trying to sell them.
To all the mothers who read this blog: Is it normal that my little boy was a furious ball of screaming craziness during the last few days? Is my little man going to grow up to be a crazed criminal because I can't keep him from screaming wildly and throwing things at my clients who are just trying to be nice to him? Is juvenile delinquency immenent when all my little man wants to do is hit and kick anyone who gets close to him?
The thing is...This little kid has to spend the entire day with me since Robbie can't pick him up or change his diaper. The poor little thing has had to spend the entire past few days with hippies who hate the FDA and believe in aliens. I guess I would completely lose it by the end of the day if I were him. Oh wait...I spend all day with these people...(insert crickets chirping)...

1 year olds are the cutest little things ever, but they are the beginning of a great challenge to come. Good luck with that..... XOXO
Yes, deliquency comes early! Mckell has been to the principals office twice now and I never would have predicted that. Kids just keep you on your toes and cause unbelievably embarassimg situations! That's why I always say I could give them back after they turn 1 :) sounds like you have some crappy circumstnces making life even harder. It will get better when things settle down. You are a great mama and Joe is a cutie. Just because your kids do bad things doesn't mean you are a bad mama. They are just learning like all of us. Miss you and love to hear your crazy stories!
