Things with Joe are --- eh.  We had some much needed intimacy on Friday night.  And it (for whatever reason) made me realize how much he really does love me.  That was nice. 

It definitely reconnected us.  But I'm still feeling ---- I don't know.  I'm just, in general, not happy with him.  The way he treats the kids is the biggest thing.  He has ZERO patience --- and it's really starting to grate on my nerves.  And it's becoming more and more apparent that the kids don't respect him (because he doesn't follow through --- he just yells and then gives in anyway).  Like last night, he was up for over an hour with Cam.  Battling with her back and forth.  I got up, changed her diaper, put on a new movie (that I let her pick --- at her request) and then put her in bed.  I said, "Cam, it's bed time.  We are not coming back in here.  Do you understand?!"  Yes mommy.  Not another peep -- yet he was battling with her for over an hour.  THAT is getting exhausting for me --- and making me feel as though my kids and I would be better off on our own --- with him involved as much as he wants to be but not UNLESS he wants to be.

 He's just a very negative person.

 

Anyway --- kids are good.  Overall.  Joey's FOURTH birthday party was on Saturday.  That kid was a TERROR by the end of the night.  Hitting and kicking other kids.  He was so tired --- so I'll give him that --- but man, he HATES sharing.  It's ridiculous. 

And Cam --- she is just like her Auntie Cole.  Hates wearing clothes, hates going to bed at a decent hour, wants things HER way and only her way.  VERY much a girl! 

 She breaks my heart all the time now --- as she does NOT want me to go to work.  Last night, when putting her to bed, she just kept saying "I want you to stay home!  I want you to stay home!"  Over and over again! 

 

And how are you?  And Miss Brooke?

Thanks!  And while I'm in here...

Jodi, I know you love Donnie, but I need to see some Cam and Joey! )  It seems like it's been awhile.

ditto josey!!!

I'm glad you and Joe receconnected a little. I think the longer you go without being intimate, the worse it gets. What you described with him and the kids would probably be ahuge turn off for me too. BUT, if you think he's a good dad, he deserves a chance and these are additional things you need to bring up during therapy. Will you both be going back to therapy?

Happy Birthday to lil Joe, did I miss it? When was his bday?

I totally hear you. DH called me this morning and said B wanted to talk to me, she said "mommy, where you"? I told her I was at work already and she said "mommy, I wanna give you a kiss and hug at home...I havetoooo" I said "i'm sorry baby, I had to go to work, I'll miss you, lets kiss on the phone"

ugh. Lately, she'll wake up as i'm leaving just to kiss and hug me. I love that kid so much. She told me on Friday "mommy, you my bef fwiend in world" lol

I know Joseys -- I'm so over Donnie now (not really, just convincing myself I am) but I have yet to upload any new pics of Joey and Cam to a photo sharing site.  I'll do that this weekend.  I promise!
