  WTF mom - I have to actually work during the day. I can't talk on the phone all day. I pump 3 times a day, call me then. Also our vacations aren't until may then July. We don't have to finalize sleeping arrangements this morning. You are stressing me out - stop!
  
  Dear Jeff,
  
  Thank you for helping more, and putting the phone down when you play with Eliza. It's amazing that now she likes you again! Now if you can just tell me what you want to tell me with out wanting me to guess something - that would be great.
  
  Love,
  Your mommy brain wife.

  Random - You know what sort of annoys me?  When people who move to DE get a black and white license plate right off the bat.  Do you even know what it means?

  I don't allow phones at the dinner table and don't take it out at night when Bear's awake except for when I'm feeding him. I realized that those darn work emails and texts can wait, my son can't.

  It not even work. It's Craigslist, fb and you tube. I'd come down stairs because she's crying and he's holding her in one arm, phone in other hand. I was ready for a fight the other night, but when I checked he actually had a toy!

  Rant...work sucked yesterday. Kids were acting up ALOT, my boss pissed me off and it didn't help that I only had 4 hours of broken up sleep. Apparently, I can't have caffeine at dinner time. Today HAS to be better, right??

  Thanks, hugs are needed. Most things are better, but my boss had to tell the mom of one of my boys that she needs to find some where else to send him. He has alot of behavioral issues and I'm pretty much the only one he responds to. But I can't be one on one with him all the time. I feel horrible for him and the family but at the same time I feel a little relieved not to have the stress of dealing with him every day. And if the mom was making more of an effort to get him help, it would help the situation.

  I know...I keep thinking about his mom and grandmom tonight. I've never had anyone have to leave my room before.
  
  After months of discussing his behavior, they finally started seeing a behavioral therapist who after one visit recommended a sticker chart. I had to pick 2 behaviors and if he gets 4 stickers out of 7 chances then he gets a reward from parents. So the first day he got 5 for following directions/ listening to the teachers. But its also the same day he said he was going to bring a knife to.school and cut everything up when he got mad. But he gets his reward anyway since he was a good listener!! WTH?!?!?

  Haha, this is what I'm talking about!  You've been living in the area for how long and don't know.  Someone who just moves here and gets one is...I dunno...trying too hard?  That's not quite the right phrase, but hopefully you get the gist. 

  
  

  The black and white tags are sort of like a "status symbol," if you will.  Some people bend over backwards to get their hands on one.  The lower the number, the more the person paid for it. 

  
  

  I don't think I'm doing a good job explaining this!

  DH & I both have one. I bought my first car from an elderly man and was able to keep the tag. He didn't have a black and white though, just 5 digit.
  
  I'm not sure how dh got his. Random fact...the last 3 digits of DHs tag are the month and day of the birthday.

  I am waiting on my B&W tag. They have to have someone turn in a 5 digit tag to be eligible to change it to a B&W, then you fork over $150 and its yours. There is a waiting list. I just think it would look sweet on the back of my white car.

  To clarify (yeah, 2 weeks later...) I don't have a problem with them in general!  I think they look nice, too.  Honestly, I just have this recently-moved to DE CW who seriously gets on my nerves and she has one.  She's always trying to impress me with her Delawareness and I'm so over it.  Apparently she was hanging out with the Carpenters the other day.  Big whoop!
