Avery's temper/ Another top ten list


Not a big fan of boys kissing my little girl.







I love my little girl. She is sweet and cute and fun to be around. I am able though to admit she has a little spunk in her. This will be good when all your sons are trying to put the moves on her, but right now it is something we're working with. Avery can now give some of the meanest looks. She is generally very pleasant and happy until something is taken from her. We have begun to spank her for throwing fits (don't call us in).
Anyway, the other night I was watching Avery while Jamey was out. We have a cord in the living room that Avery knows she is not to touch (she can do what she wants with everything else in the room). Every now and then she is playing and accidentally comes to it and pulls. We say no and move her and if she goes back she gets spanked. This happened the other night (nothing too bad yet).... Later on in the evening Avery was pulling something out of a book (also a non-rare occurrence) as I took the book away Avery started her normal fit and again got spanked (don't think I just beat my little girl, this is not as often as it sounds). I put her down and she proceeded to sprint to the cord and stare at me as she pulled it as hard as she could from the wall. After I spanked her I realized what she had done. She had become mad and ran to "get me back" the only way she knew how.
Again, Avery has been an almost perfect child to this point so do not think she is a temper tantrum monster. But she can throw one with the best of them already. I love females...

Now a top ten list sent to me from my mother who knows I love lists (call me Stacy Stacy).
This is the top ten worst URL's.

Attn: EntrepeneursEveryone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… iswww.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views atwww.expertsexchange.com

3. Deleted. Funny but not what I wanted on my family friendly blog

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder atwww.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s alwayswww.ipanywhere.com

8. Deleted. Same reason as number 3.

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website atwww.gotahoe.com

Hope you enjoyed,
Kenny

The URL's are hilarious!

I can feel your pain on the whole tempter tantrums. Abby Kate went through this stage a while back. I found out through trial and error that the ONLY thing that gets her attention is a swat on the thigh. I had read that some tempter tantrums are okay, but others have to be corrected. WHAT??? So confusing. Dobson's book "The New Strong Willed Child" said it best, "if your child comes looking for a fight, don't disappoint them". Abby Kate got through the phase of temper tantrums, but now they are back!!!!

Parenting can be so exhausting.

Parenting is very challenging, but as with every challenge, very rewarding as well.

In the paper one Sunday morning, there was a Family Circus comic. It said:

"Children are like sponges...they tend to soak up all of your love, time and energy....

...but then you give them a tight squeeze and you get it all back!"

Glad you liked the URL's. Avery is a good girl and her temperment will make her a good athlete as well...

Those URLs are hilarious. I think I am going to copy them & e-mail them to my co-workers so they will think I am funny. Thanks!

Hoosiers
Field of Dreams
Bull Durham
Remember the Titans
The Rookie
Major League
Miracle (even though it's a hockey movie)
And, of course, the original Rocky
