Am I the only one who starts blog posts and then erases everything? I also do this on Facebook, when I think better of whatever I happened to have typed out (whether it be sarcastic, political, or pithy in nature). So, here are a few musings that don't have any other place to go.
Yesterday, the "bribe of the day" was going to the pool as a family for FHE. By lunchtime, the bribe had failed and we weren't going. Screaming, sobbing, wailing, and gnashing of teeth ensued. And shockingly, I didn't give in.
As I have noted before, T is an extremely stubborn child. Extremely. And somewhat random in his thought process. He took an afternoon nap yesterday and when he woke up, immediately began sobbing about why Aunt J hadn't invited them to a sleepover at her house. (In her defense, she did last Friday but we were in the middle of a stomach virus cycle and I wasn't sure who would drop next.) T moaned and sobbed, while I told him I'm sure she would call about it soon. Then I ignored him until he forgot why he was sobbing.
Is almost 2 years old too young to have OCD? Can a toddler really care that much about which bowl he uses, which color of spoon he uses, and every single detail in his life? These tendencies are beginning to frighten me.
After 10 years of sleeping on the same bed, A and I got a new bed. A king-sized one. And every time I walk into my room, I catch a glimpse of my bed and almost weep with a desire to hide under the covers and drift away into dreamland.
I am perhaps (certainly) much too excited about the double-coupon mega sale that starts tomorrow at my local grocery store. I will prepare all my coupons this afternoon so I can get to the store at 7 am before my husband has to go to work tomorrow.
I ate three M&M cookie ice cream sandwiches late last night and I didn't gain any weight. I think a repeat is in order.
The misuse of apostrophes in this world gives me major heartburn.
P.S. Aunt J, if you wanted to invite the kids for a sleepover, say, this Friday night, I wouldn't be opposed.

haha! My oldest was very OCD when she was 2. She would pick up gravel that had fallen into the parking lot and return them to the median where they belonged. She would count EVERYthing...slats in the blinds, chairs in a restaurant, you get the idea. She would line up all her little cars and dolls in VERY straight rows. She was very particular about which cup, which spoon, etc. She couldn't leave the ketchup bottle lid open while it sat on the table during lunch. She has outgrown it *some*...but not 100%. While it can be irritating, it's also amusing, so don't let it get the best of you! :) And, by all means, reward yourself with four M&M cookie ice cream sandwiches tonight...

Good, if you're an apostrophe queen, could you please inform me how you use them when referring to twins in all forms? Like do I say the twins' room? I usually just leave all apostrophes off for fear of misuse, which, however, is also misuse.
I'm with you with the apostrophe misuse. Did you read Segullah the other day? Multi-generational grammar love. A wonderful reason to do family history!
I think 2 yr olds are the most OCD--they have so little control and so little expressible knowledge, it manifests itself in strange ways--dinnerware colors etc. If it's still going strong when he knows more ways to express his choices and has more choices, then you can worry at will.
I have a running draft list of posts that I mess with, cut and paste and delete. FB: that's why I post so rarely, I almost always rethink and delete.
We got new extra soft bedding at Christmas time and I still look wistfully toward my bed whenever I see it throughout the day. Every time we have slept in a king bed, though, I have been very disoriented and unable to sleep.
My FIL unwittingly stole my grocery ads last week. I just didn't go grocery shopping at all as a result! I need to get on the coupon bandwagon though.
I hate it when bribes fail. I also am not a big fan of pack meeting--there really isn't a bribe to get us safely through pack meeting. Ever. Just wait. It's just SOOO much fun (said dripping with sarcasm)
Off to pack meeting :)
