BE PROUD

So Last Night we went to Barnes & Noble to browse around. I was looking in the Parenting section on books about raising boys. They have always been a mystery to me & now I am raising one.
Anyways, I am trying to advance my already superior parenting skills.
Yes I will say it loud & proud SUPERIOR PARENTING! You should say it too..You all know we all go way above the abnormal "NORM" of parenting.

So back to Barnes & Noble. I am standing at the parenting books and this little girl of about 9 says to her mom " Mama can I get this book" It was a book about Barrack Obama made for kids. The mom says (loud & mean), "Why you want that book?" The girl replied something about just wanting it because she was wanted to see about him. The mom then says "NO, no books , and you better not give me that STUPID look of yours again."

This about the time when I wanted to hit her with one of the bigger parenting books I had within reach. I know violence solves nothing and the poor book doesn't deserve it.

So, I don't think it was just because it was an Obama book, because she just seemed that she just didn't want to spend $$ on books in general. If it was because of Obama she could have handled it differently. I myself will let Bubbinz read anything age appropriate that he wants. Whether it be Barbies or W. Bush. If he wants a book its his. I always make a point of giving books to him as gifts too. They are not something you HAVE to read , they are gifts just like toys.
If it was about money she could have handled it differently too. Mr. bubbinz is well aware of the fact that sometimes we just cant afford it. No shame..that's how life is.

The biggest point is is that she called her child STUPID. In an around about way, but nonetheless she did.

Poor kid..Glad Mr. Bubbinz doesn't have to sit next to her in class.

I think...

I think, But am unsure that my comments MIGHT be fixed...

Yesterday we went to a fun Bday party while my hubby pruned our trees. It was a lot of work and he was still doing some when we got home. He was sore and tired and I told him to go in the spa & relax. I would take care of things so he could relax all night. While he was in the spa his phone kept ringing.... When he checked his messages it was the guys at our shop. A water pipe had broken and was flooding the shop. So much for the relaxing evening. Up to 6 inches of water in various parts of the shop. We took just about every towel in our house to soak it up. ( I will be doing a lot of laundry today) He capped the pipe & is just waiting for the building owner to come up this a.m. Oh well...its handled and the perks of owning our own business outweigh the once in a while major headaches.

Mr. Bubbinz is going through a thing. He has been very rude to me lately. Everything has a whine or a NO! comeback. He isn't following direction or listening like he used to. I know I have to toughen up right now to make it better in the long run. I am trying to just be calm, shake it off and stand my ground with what I want and expect from him. I talked with my mom and she said that is exactly how I was. Strong willed was the nice way she put it. Free spirited is another good one too...BrattyMcSassmouth is more accurate. I want him to retain his free spirit, but still listen to me...Doesn't seem that hard.....One day at a time...

Sooooo, I think I have fixed my blog comments. I just switched my settings back a forth a few times to shake out the bug..

Thanks to all who tried to leave a comment about sir huggums.

Today was park day and it feels like normalcy (whatever that may be) has returned after the holidays.

My husband just finished 10 days of the master cleanse. He made it seem so easy, and I could really see changes in his skin and energy levels...I am contemplating it. He said he would do it again with me....no cooking ...hmmm?
