The week of Feb 16th I was unable to make it to class because of car troubles. We were without a car for ten days, which caused us to become very creative about how to get where we needed to go (i.e. work the grocery stores, and school). I have prided myself on being in class every day even on my special day, --my birthday. I also can't really miss any class because we only meet for like eight weeks. Missing that one day for me was like being absent for two. What I should've done was taken that time to get ahead with my school work, but I was too worried about the car to do anything. It was difficult because I had to do my best to entertain the boys because they were getting cabin fever. We did a lot of dancing, and playing. Then things got a little crazy when we ran out of food for Mooky to eat (remember… he's a very picky 2 ½ year old toddler). He only wants to eat what he wants and he doesn't care if he has to starve to do it! It's always a battle of wills when it comes to him and food. It really got on my nerves, but I dealt with it by making him toast and bacon for breakfast one morning. He is stern about his likes and dislikes that he looked at the toast and handed it back to me. He refused to eat it because he wanted "JELL-O" on it! For those of you who don't speak toddler…I realized what he meant was jelly. I carried out his demand and he was happy. However, now he always wants "JELL-O" on his toast.
