Customer Muse: Parenting... An Acquired Skill

Today, I was sitting and reflecting over my day when I realized that I am a better parent than I thought. Today, at Toddling Tots, I didn't make my three-year-old son go on equipment he didn't want to. When we got home, I made him a nutritious snack. During “room time,” when he stuck his fingers in his diaper and wiped it all over the carpet, I didn't yell. I let him play in the tub and didn't care that water got splashed all over the floor. While getting him dressed, he saw his monkey costume from last Halloween and I let him wear it. Is it the Prozac, or am I getting better at this parenting thing?

Recently, I heard a country song that talks about a girl who can't wait to be grown up. She is a teenager and can't wait to be on her own and make her own decisions. She is a bride in an apartment and can't wait to have her own house and kids. Her mother and father each tell her that she should enjoy today because life passes too quickly. Then, her kids are grown up and she looks back and realizes that it does pass too quickly.

I know I don't have all of the answers to parenting - probably not even 1/1000th - but I have learned that you shouldn't freak out over every little thing. In the grand scheme of things, poop on the carpet doesn't really matter.

That is... as long as they aren't still doing it as adults.

- Rachel Hutzley

 

Muse: To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation. Not intended to solve the world's problems, another person's problems, or to cover topics completely. One does not have to agree with musings to enjoy them, just as one does not have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.

Note from Ro: Would you like to earn a $20 Gift Certificate? Send your own muse to [email protected]. If it is selected for publication in the Scrap Girls newsletter, you'll get to have fun shopping!

Ro is now spotlighting various Scrap Girls members, showing layouts, and running contests in her blog. If you end up being spotlighted in it, you'll get a little gift from her. Subscribe to her blog so you don't miss what is going on!

Ro has recently spotlighted Soozlou, mtorres_usa, and teabaglady!

Scrap Girls Member of the Month: Christina

Photo: ChristinaP

ScrapGirls Member of the Month – February 2009
Member Name: ChristinaP

1. What program do you use to digital scrapbook?

Photoshop Elements 5.0, and I’m trying to learn GIMP in my “free” time.

2. Tell us the make and model of digital camera that you use.

My husband gave me a FujiFilm Finepix s1000 for Christmas. I’m still learning the ins and outs of it, but I love it so far!

3. Name one thing that every beginning digital scrapbooker should know.

Be patient and practice. You can’t learn it all overnight, and don’t be afraid to ask questions!

4. If you could be transformed into a digital scrapbooking embellishment, what would you choose and why?

I think I would want to be one of Ariadna Wiczling’s Little Zoo characters. They are so cute and can make anyone smile. I would like to be able to do that - make everyone smile.

5. What time of day do you find that you do your best scrapbooking?

When my kids aren’t around. Usually in the morning when they are at school or at night when they are in bed. Sometimes I give them candy and turn cartoons on.

6. What is your favorite snack?

This is a hard one! When I’m in the mood for chocolate, it has to be dark. If it’s chips I want, I usually go for Ketchup or Creamy Dill made by Old Dutch. You have to come to Canada if you want to try them!

7. What brand of toothpaste do you use?

Crest

8. What is your least favorite household chore?

That is a toss up between cleaning the bathrooms (I have 5- and 3-year-old boys), or the cat’s litter box.

9. Finish this sentence. “I couldn’t live without...”

...my boys. They make me laugh every day.

10. What's your current favorite layout that you've done?

I printed this layout as an 8x8, and I am so impressed with the detail in the papers and embellishments. Plus, it’s my kids and they are happy and playing together.

Stop! Before you unsubscribe... Did you know we have a Weekly Round-Up newsletter?

This action-packed newsletter is sent out on Tuesday afternoons and summarizes what has happened in the past week. It's perfect for people who feel that they are too busy to read the daily editions! If you would like to receive our Round Up Newsletter, scroll to the bottom of this email and use the “Update Profile/Email Address” option to join the Round Up list and/or change your subscription options to our newsletters.

Of course, the Weekly Round Up Newsletter contains a fresh, new freebie, so even if you like to get the daily newsletters, you might want to join the Weekly Round-Up Newsletter, too. It's a great way to keep track of all of the fun things you are learning!
