screaming mommy

When i was on the way to becoming a mom i geared up in the way i knew the best...read up...and read up i did..i also ushered the age of reality shows in my life...so i saw real life birthing videos and soon became a big fan of super nanny ( in case u dont know abut this show just take a wild guess)...then after little K was born i read on new borns...for every sneeze i would rush for a comforting book...i am sure i was sniggered at by all the oldies around me...now that K is a toddler i find i have no books to help... and time and again all those experts opinions are thrown out of the window by my little fire brand ...
i am often told by maama ' lower down ur tone" and the next time, i hear the perfectly calm father losing his cool at K...
why cant i do things like super nanny or the as the books say ' explain calmly and patiently no matter how loudly ur kid is crying...' i am sure those experts have never really tried it and
i am often found yelling like a banshee
i have a snide voice telling me in my head i sound just like my mom...well she had read no books on child raising and was all hands and screams..i had vowed to do it differently...hah!!
Conclusion: toddlers can make any normal person pop a vein and books can get you only this far...so just scream away anyway they arent listening!! and do continue reading those books ...even if it is just for fun!!

is this the way to do it??

i am a very late entrant to this blog world ( sheepishly admitting my poor net savyness) and i am still figuring out how this works...is this like writing a diary and letting ppl see it...the point being? but since my motor skills for holding a pen are just as rusty i guess this is a better way

My hubby ( Maama) thought i should blog..eeeps i will have to admit i dont know what to do...so i did the next best thing...defiantly said i dont need to... i prefer writing the old fashioned way and why should i blog...i am no celeb...no one wants to read what i write...
After hours of silent contemplation and self admission that i havent written a word since i passed out of college i decided to check out this blog thingie

still figuring out what to write...
