Indian Names

If I had to choose Indian names today for my children they would be 'Whiney-whoa-whoa' and 'Cries like Banshee'. Mine would be 'Needs-alot-beer'. Its been a crazy day on the home front but then again they all are lately. I just wish we could incorporate duct tape into our parenting. Maybe I should become a psycologist and write a real parenting book. It could be titled something like "Practical Parenting, 101 torture devices that are CPS approved!" Sounds like a best seller to me. There could be a chapter on mother time...like how to successfully use the john alone. That is still something after 8 1/2 years that I can't seem to master. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my boys but some days it takes all I have not to ask them things like "what are you thinking?" As Brock is strangling the poor defenseless BIGGER (by at least 35 lbs.) brother Chase. Would it be ok to tell Chase to knock his block off and I bet he won't do that again??? This seems wrong to me...tell one kid to hurt the other one hard enough that he will never forget it...BUT it seems like the best solution. I can't get them to quit wrestling and it ALWAYS ends up with Chase in tears and Brock left wondering why he can't take it! Secretly I have always wished Brock was a girl...its true, I wanted a daughter with all of my being. After watching the boys try to kill each other today I decided it was a good thing Brock was a boy! He may be the only thing that can toughen Chase up a little! Of course if the wrestling escalates and one of them gets injured it could ruin my chances of a grand daughter! lol.

Oh and Joe...his Indian name should be 'needstodoalotalaundry!'
