Positive Discipline

I have found that Positive Discipline really works! Mason my son has/had some issues. He was an mad little guy whom always cried. Most of the time he was kicking and screaming. Head banging was a big issues in our home, he would even hit himself, or punch me. With Positive Discipline Mason's anger is less and now he knows how to express himself in a positive way.

"Time outs" have become "cool offs", I made a corner in my living room where My kids can Cool off, we call it Antarctica, there are polar bears, and snow. I even sit there when I need to cool off. We all sit and chill so we can solve the problem instead of fighting about it. My kids really have come along way because of this.

We do stumble on hard times, and we're working on getting dressed and taking a bath, but I think it has gotten better. At least I've learned to keep my cool. I know everyone has their bad days and to stay calm in the hard times make the hard times seem less, and they don't last as long. Instead of screaming and yelling for 3 hours, he screams and yells for 10 minutess and stops. It really works and I think we're going to be a great family very soon. I love my children but sometimes they can push but buttons, as long as thgey don't know their pushing my buttons we're all good.

My new dog

He is 7 years old, and his name is Andrew. He used to live with an old women whom was blind, couldn't walk and didn't take care of him. When I got him, he was so dirty and he had stuff stuck to him. He's had a bath and now he looks so pretty. The kids love him, he sleeps with Sophia and he likes to play ball with them, as of right now, he's a good dog.

Changed my mind

Instead of taking my big trip to Cali, I'm going to pay off Penn Foster and start something new. Penn Foster has a program that I like. I can get certified and get a job. I'd rather build then take a trip. Cali will be there next year.

If you're wondering, the program is child psychology. I would start right now if I pay that off today, now I must just do it, make the choice and stop pacing.

Update 2

We're getting ready to do our floors, so we're packing and moving all our stuff. I'm also getting ready to have a party, and to go to Cali. We may go in March if Kevin loses his job. That is the big issue as of right now. They want him to work out of state for three months and he will not do it. He may be looking for work here real soon, so we may just go to Cali now while we can.

One of my friends passed away as well this month, I'm pretty sad about that. He was a great guy and he will be missed.

Update

Well not much has changed, my house still sucks. It's warm now so that's a plus. We all had a great X-mas and next week is my birthday. I'll be 25, yay! I'm feeling old and very washed up. I'm so used..... I'm glad I have great friends, they tend to make me feel loved and sexy, thanks C.M....

My kids and I went to sears and got our pictures taken, that was fun, and they turned out great. I looked fat but I guess I should juat face the truth...I am fat.


Oh yeah, I went out the other day with my sister..for my birthday. Well it will be a long time before I drink, I was sick for two days almost. I think I lost part of my gut that time. It was fun but hurt like hell the next day.

Well that's my update for the month.

Huggles.
