A Special Thanks To...

I've HAD IT (insert scream) with what you wonder. Well just look at these pictures. I call it the Teagan Tornado. No I haven't had enough of her per say, just her whirl winds. (More screams if you want because I am inside, can't wake the Tornado.)


So it's finally time for the child locks to be put on. I know I should have done this months ago, but isn't that how life goes. I started this process last Friday and quickly realized that I needed Devin's help so process delayed. Saturday all I requested was that we get these *#$&#* locks on. Devin tries and realizes my frustration with the rock hard cabinets, tiny screw not going in, our fingers to big, and basically lack of super hero powers.

What does Devin do, well what he does best. He researches online to find adhesive locks that require zero screws. Then sees that Khols sells that brand so he is on his way. Well Khols does not sell them. Baby's R Us sure they have everything... No. Saturday down. I knew I just needed to get the drill bits from my parents but do I do that first, come on would I be here if I had.

Saturday afternoon going to see my mom main mission DRILL BITS do I get them no.
Sunday dinner at Mom's do I remember the DRILL BITS NO.
Monday drill bits all I want to do. Can't get them before the morning nap okay it will have to happen after. Success finally on the right track. Driving home beautiful weather and a magical thought pops into my head. GLEE yes I will purchase the sound track for my project of child proofing.

Get home purchase the most fantastic sing along sound track really of my life! I'm singing Teagans dancing and it's time. Get down start drill and nothing not even the drill bits that were supposed to save my life were working. The frustration boils but I just keep singing trying to stay positive. Try everything and eventually get them to what I think is pretty good not great but will do.

Move on and what has to happen Teagan walks over and with in two seconds opens the cupboard. Yes the CUPBOARD that I had just spend an hour trying to close she OPENS ahhhhhhhhhhhh. No one told me that along with everything else motherhood calls for that being a handy man was one of them. All I could do was laugh and fight the looming tears that were forming in my ducts. When what song comes on "Keep Holding On" Thank you glee I will and I will try to get this done.

Well I tried and failed but at least I had some wonderful sing a longs that kind of helped. I except defeat empty out the cupboards put the stuff in random places, put Teagan down for a nap, and watch TV.

Brad and Aisha come over to say hi tonight and I lament to them about my failure and Brad walks over little screw here little drill there and 5 minutes later they are fixed perfectly secure and all is well cabinets done. REALLY REALLY whatever I never said I was a handyman. At least I got glee out of it. Thanks for putting out this sound track now I can keep holding on!

Ahhhh! So frustrating! I was really hoping you could give me some encouragement & tell me, "it gets easier" but I guess each stage comes with a new set of challenges right? Talk about the hardest job ever! It's not like we can ever "get in the swing of things" cause things are ALWAYS CHANGING! I'm glad you rewarded yourself with Glee at least. & that Handy Manny came to your rescue!

Thats funny, thats what we call Sage. Well not Teagan the tornado, but just tornado. Look at my "terrible twos" post. Basically the same thing as your post. I just finished putting and fixing the latches on the cabinets today. He came out from his nap and started screaming because he couldn't pop open the broken one anymore. Crazy Kids!!

Oh I am also requesting that you post her Halloween costume on here. Aisha said it was a good one!

Oh man. She has become a toddler!

I need to catch up on Glee. It is all the craze and the few minutes I have seen it seems fun. I should hulu it so I can be caught up by the time you come.
