Oh happy day

Sometimes I get so tired of trying to make everyone happy. It gets old. Quickly. Especially when its not appreciated on the one "special" day of the year. Yeah I am pissed.

But I used to love to drive...

The "mom face" success story didn't last long.  I now hate to ride anywhere in the car.  It is almost a guarantee that Mimi is going to scream the whole time...unless she is asleep. 

I have had a headache for days just thinking about having to get into a car.  I need a scooter.

Temper Tantrums

Mimi has somehow learned the art of temper tantrums. I sure didn't teach her how, I know she didn't learn it at Ms. Lisa's and I don't think I have seen dads throw a fit.  She throws herself on the floor, rolls over and kicks her feet.  If it wasn't annoying it would be funny.

When does she throw them you ask? Oh, anytime works for her. In the car, when I shower, when I eat something, when she trips, when we walk past her, when we pick her up, bedtime, first thing in the morning...get the idea? My fave was at 1:30am.

So as a result, we had a "come to Jesus" meeting when we went to pick up dads from work last night. So far, so good. She has tried to get by with them, but she's gets a mom face and a warning "Mia," and she stops. We'll see how long it lasts.

Ungrateful charity

I have been wrestling with myself, trying to figure out if I wanted to reveal the name of the charity that made me so mad this week.  I've decided that if you want to know the name of the group you can ask me, but I won't ruin it for those that have benefited from the overall cause. 

Mia and I went to the walk this morning. The organizers ignored me. Which just solidifies my resolve not to participate in this event next year. I've calmed down considerably but I'm still rather upset . Come to find out, they were rude to my aunt also several years ago. I can't believe I forgot about that.

Our company, combined with the donations that employees were able to raise, turned in close to $1000.  I hope that's enough for them.

Shocking

I know.  It's shocking.  I've created yet another blog.  Hopefully I will stick to this one.  This is an all-encompassing blog about the McCann Clan and our lives.  ...well not too many details.  I don't want to be stalked by people I don't know.  Creepy. 

When I calm down I will try to write about something that completely shocked and mortified me today.  Maybe I am overreacting, but if I am, then I just need to avoid charities in the future.
