New job and Curious George

OK so I got a job at Kroger, in the produce dept. Now the produce dept. is something I know nothing about but I guess I will learn. I am not really sure how I feel about starting all over at the bottom again. I worked so hard to get where I was before and now I am starting all over again, and in a department that I don't really want to be in. I am hoping that something in drugs/gm will open up soon and i can move to that dept. We have a super Kroger opening in about six months so maybe then I can move to another dept. I went yesterday to an orientation, and today for 5 hours of computer training, which was so boring since most of it was stuff that I already knew. Anyway we will see how it goes. I am kind of excited about going back to work, it makes me feel like I am contributing to the family, and not relying on hubby. I have always been an independent person, and since having kids have had to learn to rely more on other people. So anyway this week I will be working on wed, Thur and Friday during the day, now if only I could figure out what I am going to do with my kids during that time. So far I am at a loss for who can keep them.

Now for Curious George. Yesterday, L was in the playroom, and I heard her doing something, I asked her what she was doing and she said nothing. I said what do you have in your hand. She had a sand bucket. I asked what was in it, and she had peed in it. I mean really Why would you do that? I made her sit in time out, then I was picking up and G's little ride on car was in the kitchen, it has storage under the seat, as I went to move it liquid came out, I knew immediately what it was. So I asked L what it was and again she said pee. Now I just don't get it why would you go around peeing in things. Again she was put into time out. I just am baffled, I cant imagine why you would do that. Now for today Hubby and I were in the living room, and I hear L in the kitchen, I asked her to get out of the refrigerator, she said I am mommy I am going upstairs, so I said not with whatever you have in your hands(we only eat in the kitchen), she said I don't have anything, so here she comes to the stairs with her arms firmly placed on her chest. I asked what she had, she said nothing. Well She had cheese, and she was headed upstairs with it. NO NO NO. So I explained to her that this was lying and she cant lie to mommy. Then I asked her what I just said and she said "I don't know", so I explained to her again about lying and what I lie was and again I asked her what she was in trouble for, she said " I don't know". SO I put the cheese away, and I think maybe she got the point. AW yes and on Friday, we were at CVS getting G's prescription, and as we were walking out, she grabbed some candy and walked out the door with it, I had to explain to her that we cant just take candy that we haven't paid for. And we took it back in and returned to the shelf. I know that she wasn't stealing, she is only three and has no concept of that, but I told her that we were not allowed to pick things up and take them out of the store without paying. Poor girl, I am just not sure what is going on. I wonder if she is just tyring to get attention and bad attention is better than no attention. MAN do I feel bad. I feel like such a bad mom. I think lately with all the G has going on, I have paid more attention to him the probably to the girls. SO I really need to work on that. Anyway, we are going to the dentist for the girls in the morning so I will let you know how that goes.
Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come..................................

I am having the same issues with my 2 year old and I think it is the exact same reason. I going to post tomorrow about a detailed daily schedule i put together to try to ease some of that.

You hit the nail on the head. I'm dealing with that with my 19 month old. As hard as I try to play with them both at the same time, it's difficult. That leads to Casey doing something he's not supposed to and getting negative attention. We are all guilty of it. Don't beat yourself up. Recognizing it and making a change is far better then thinking you're the worst Mommy, because you aren't alone.
