Sorry, no new pics, just more babbling

So, does anyone else watch supernanny? I have to admit, I watch it pretty much every week. I try to remember everything she says so I can apply it to my children since I don't really know the first thing about discipline. Anyway, I was appalled at the kids on the show tonight, particularly the girl. She was 8 years old, but she acted more like a 3 year old with throwing fits and screaming. At one point, she was screaming at her mother and throwing punches. I felt this ball of rage inside me, and I knew that if I were in that situation, I would have slapped her right upside the face. I guess that's why I watch supernanny, because I want to make sure my girls never get me to the point where I would slap them. I know physical punishment isn't the way to go, but if one of my kids was abusing me like that, I don't think I could help myself.

Thanks to supernanny, I've been doing time-outs with Chloe for several months now. They work pretty well. When Chloe starts throwing a fit, I simply pick her up, put her in the time out chair, and leave her there for a minute or two. And when I go back in her room to get her, she's a perfect little citizen again. And then of course we talk about why she was in time-out and go about our day.

Now for something completely different... I have a job interview tomorrow. Nothing fantastic. I saw a flyer in the Sci and Tech building for an aquaculture technician opening for the summer. It only pays about $7.50 an hour which means 100% of my income would go directly to child care, but I'm thinking I would be able to get experience that will help me when I start looking for real jobs when I graduate at the end of the year. Anyway, I really doubt it'll work out, but I want to at least give it a shot.

Well, I could go on and on about how busy with school I am and about our financial problems, but I think I'll give that a rest for the time being. Come to think of it, I think I'll go rest! nite-night! (as Chloe would say)
