dyk I had to stop taking my allergy meds b/c I think they were making me jittery and tense and I was having a problem with my tongue -- which is an anxiety symptom -- tingling, irritating numbness an itchiness almost down the left side

dyk and I didn't have it on the cruise --- until the day we got back and it was the day we got back that I took my allergy meds b/c I woke up knowing we were close to the texas coast and it's ragweed

dyk FFIL... if I moved to Mexico, I wouldn't have trouble with seasonal allergies and if I did -- who cares I'd be drunk off their fabulous vanilla rum all the time

dyk FFIL.... if the sign says 2 for $20 -- you can get a single bottle for $8 ROFL

dyk here are the house rules we discussed and are discussing with the kids tonight:

  1. 1. Slow Down

2. Listen and then Respond (appropriately)

3. Give Specific Instructions

4. Explain Yourself

5. Stay Calm. No Yelling.

dyk this morning Sean said he employed the SLOW DOWN And STAY CALM/NO YELLINg and it was a very nice easy morning getting the kids out the door -- so much so that I didn't even hear them and didn't even know they'd left

dyk I asked him if it felt good to have made a good morning by controlling the pace

dyk I have 3 loads of laundry to fold tonight

dyk shouldn't be too hard given we have some good TV DVR'd to watch

dyk also, folding laundry and loading the dishwasher are about to get passed down to the kids as punishment chores --- which will then as they get better at them... morph into daily chores -- ahahah
