Operation Bye-Bye Mink-Mink - FAIL!!!

Last night I tried my first attempt at operation "Bye-Bye Mink-Mink". Mylieh threw a huge fit in the middle of Hobby Lobby yesterday because she wanted her mink-mink, which I didn't have. I mean to tell you it was so bad I ended up just leaving Hobby Lobby with a cart full in the aisle. I told her then and there mink-minks were gone, no more. There is no reason to act that way. She goes all day at school without one she could last another 30 min. So I did really good. I got them all out of her bed and put them away. I made her go to bed without it. She cried but wasn't too bad. She did alot better than I thought she would. She woke up about 1 and Kermit took care of it. Not sure what he did but he didn't give her a mink-mink and she went back to sleep. But at 4:30 she woke up again. This time there was no way to calm her. I tried for over 30 min then finally I gave in and gave her a mink-mink. OPERATION FAILED!!! She is kinda sick maybe now is not the time. So the idea tonight is no mink-mink still but if we can't get her calmed in the middle of the night we will give it to her. I hate this and potty training these are the 2 I dread. I thought it was going to be ok. I even had her telling Kashyn "Sissy I big girl no more mink-mink"

I did it!!! I put in an order at Amazon yesterday for some Visual Basic Programming books and guess what they are to be sent to my correct address!! YEAH ME!!! I am off work next week for 2 weeks and my life would be 100% easier if I came back from my time off knowing VB for Excel. I am lost at work right now without it.

Christmas time is hard when you are on a diet. I know it's only one day, but it just doesn't work that way. For the last 2 weeks every morning when I get here some one has left a gift on my desk and most of the time it's food. GOOD FOOD! So far I have been good but Wednesday it was nuts and I ate them. I guess if I am going to cheat nuts aren't so bad. I can't really blame anyone though my gift this year to all of them was food too. ( Remember all those mini-loaves I told you I made the other night.) Yesterday was snack day at work. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted and paid for it all evening. I felt like total crap last night because my stomach hurt.

On a funny note Mylieh is saying alot more words. Like Santa Clause and Rudolph. Not sure you'd know that's what she's saying if you didn't see her pointing at it too. Last night I asked her what Santa brings and she said "Presents!". I said what do you want Santa to bring and Kashyn coaxed her into saying "Puppy!". It was cute, but no more puppies at our house. :o)
