I have been so out of it lately, but I have officially started to get yet another cold, so I don’t feel as badly as I might normally.

Anyway, things are pretty much the same around here. Damien is learning new words, and is still trying to get away with hitting us when he’s mad. I don’t know where he got this idea from, but it is definitely not appreciated, at all. He has gotten better, but its still very awkward when we’re in a very public place and he starts slapping my face. The worst was 2 weeks ago, when we went to our library class with Mikey. Damien got mad, possibly because we walked away from the playground that they have there. He then decided that the right response was to slap the sides of my face (oh so much fun) and the only way I could stop him was to grab his arms and hold them still. Even doing that got me tons (TONS) of horrible looks from other people in the mall. I was so upset by the whole ordeal it honestly wrecked my entire day. Its not like this is a huge ordeal though, kids learn these things at random, and he has gotten better about it. Now when Damien is mad he’s hitting tables or smacking his hands together, which at least means other kids won’t be targetted (my worst fear).

In other not so depressing news, I’m in the middle of making preperations so that Damien and I can make crafts for our family for gifts this year. We’re kind of broke, and he loves to paint, so I figure if we take a few days to make some things he’d be entertained by it. So if you happen to have a good recipe for some form of bakeable play-doh it’d be great for you to share it with moi

Gonna go put on some laundry now, and put away the clean dishes so I can accomplish something today.

I’m out.
