We seem to have gotten a handle on the Diva behavior that recently sidetracked us from potty training and now we're back on track. Not that the tantrums and drama don't still occur. They do. But I have a better handle on how to deal with them and Tater ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/06/07/potty-trainingfinally/ Sometimes life as an almost-41-year-old, Hashimoto's-having, no-sleep-getting (my fault), business-owning Mommy of a preschooler can get a little hairy and overwhelming.

A couple of years ago my sister turned me onto ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/06/03/shiny-sink/ Today was the last day of our Mommy and Me class for the year and I have to say that I was surprised by my reaction. I didn't really think about the implications of ending a class that we had been a part of for two years until, well, until ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/06/02/im-almost-a-mop/ This morning I woke up to no dishes in the sink, the laundry all where it was supposed to be save one load in the dryer, and nothing pressing to do.

The other day I wrote that it appears to be working, and it is. However, she is a smart kid and figures out ways ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/05/28/toddler-tantrum-behavior/ A little update on the Diva situation: it seems to be working. We have had more timeouts than usual but Princess Tater Tot appears to be getting the message that you cannot cry, scream and otherwise carry on when you don't get your way. Yes, it is upsetting to not ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/05/26/it-appears-to-be-working/ Hey there...it's been a while. Okay, a LONG while.

While she is not completely over-indulged, I have realized that there are some things that I ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/05/23/speed-post/ Ok, it's been a while since my last post. I've had teensy bits of time to myself and have gotten some perspective. A little friend of The Tot's has also been diagnosed with diabetes and we have been able to help a little bit. It is a horrible, horrible ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/04/04/on-the-up-side/ Things have been a bit, well, raw lately. I haven't been writing that much even though I'd like to because I feel like I'd just be complaining and whining to my three readers. And I don't want to drive you away. Lord knows I can't afford to ... http://amommyslife.com/2009/03/10/433/
