One day at a freaking time... aka ripping my hair out.

So I'm back at the full-time Mommy gig, and let me tell you... after a few months of being a part-time parent, going back to doing it 24/7 is a HUGE change.

The biggest thing is listening to the differences in my daughter. She can clearly say "I love you", "I missed you", and all of the other sweet things that make mothers swoon over their children. My daughter has a HUGE lisp, and it's funny to hear her say some things... "clock" inevidably comes out "cock" and many many other hilarious things. Today, for example, I was on the phone, not realizing that Ellie was even standing behind me (I was doing dishes), and arguing with a friend good naturedly, I, the vulgar person that I am, holler "bullSHIT, etc, etc.." Out of nowhere, I hear my almost-3-year-old say "Mommy, bullSHEET." I tell her not to say that, that Mommy shouldn't say it either, and that it's a naughty word. She's all "Okay, Mommy, I loveeee you" and runs off. And I start DYING I'm laughing so hard.

Ellie's also going through this "NO" phase, where everything I ask her, or when I tell her to do something, it's always "NO!". I don't even have to tell Ellie where time-out is anymore. She knows. AGHHHH.

Ah well. I love it. I've missed my family. I'm glad that things are slowly working themselves out.

OH! And on a side note, probably only about a month until I start my CNA classes. Medical field, watch out!
