Sometimes it is so hard for me to punish Christopher =( He's only a baby in my eyes still, but it's not something I can ignore, because he'll grow up thinking it is right. Sometimes being a mommy is tough!!!! (and if you're wondering what I'm referring to when I say I had to punish Christopher... it is because we have a "webcam" for in his room, so that we can see him on our monitor-- and he decided to take the cord and start chewing on it, and tried ripping it away from the wall....) I had to pop his hand and say no no-- and he basically cried until his eyes were droopy =( I know I'm an okay mommy, but just popping him makes me think of all those children that are abused by horrible people. I don't compare myself to that-- I just feel as if punishing my baby is a horrible thing to do. Do any other parents out there feel the same? What do you do to your child if he/she misbehaves?
Anyways... I worked at Michaels today 9:30-3:30 and they wanted me to stay till 7:30, and I was already hurting. (my back has been bugging me lately because of the weather change we have been having). I said no. I feel bad because we really need the money-- but I have been working left and right with Michaels and Rue, and trying to go to my Biology class. (Those that have facebook or twitter see my foursquare posts and they know I'm always either at Michaels or Rue). It's starting to wear me out, and I miss seeing and spending time with my son... but I know it's for the best if I want us to have a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, and lights and tv, and internet. Why does being a Grown-up have to be so hard?
Speaking of saving money-- I've been trying my hand at couponing. =) I love watching Extreme Couponers and sometimes some of their stocks piles make me sick!!! I can't fathom that much food, toiletries ect. But I really want to start, because I think that if Chris and I coupon I'd be able to quit Michaels, and just work at Rue. But like I said-- couponing takes lots of time and energy, research, and to be any good you need to understand what you are doing. So I'm thinking of doing a lot of research and starting. Does any one here coupon? Do you enjoy it? Do you have any advice for me on the easiest way to coupon???
Well this is all for now. I have taken some medication and Chris isn't home right now, so I'm just trying to stay awake until Christopher falls asleep. I always make sure that he is taken care of because I fall asleep, and I usually don't take medication when Chris isn't home-- but the pain was so bad I couldn't bear it anymore.
I hope everyone has had a nice Sunday!!!!
