- Isn't it interesting that there are some buildings where restaurants, businesses, etc. just can't make it? I know there are plenty of buildings in Mesquite (where I grew up) that seemed like they would be decent locations for restaurants, but nothing could ever stay open there. This aways has baffled me. Is it just because people know that nothing can ever make it there...so they don't ever go? Weird.
- Well, the other day, I was telling Lindsay that Caleb doesn't throw any fits. I should never say things like that because this week, guess what! He started throwing fits! He throws a fit when I put him in the car (crying, screaming, trying to scooch out of the seat, flailing legs...the whole bit). Then there have been numerous times over the last few days that he refuses to stand up. He does the limp leg bit. He just wants to lay on the ground and fuss. Maybe this is the terrible two's stage a little early. Hopefully it is just a stage. :)
- I have grown to love Craigslist over the past few days. I went to Kid to Kid on Monday looking for some backyard climbers, slides, etc. but they didn't have any. I ran into a friend that I grew up going to church with (how strange is it to see people that you haven't seen in forever...to recognize them...and the fact that you saw them no where near where you used to live) and she told me that probably my best bet for something that specific would be to look on craigslist. So I did. I have emailed a few different people, and they had already sold the items, but I finally found one that still had it. I am going over there this afternoon when I leave work to look at it and probably buy it. I can't wait for Caleb to have something to climb around on in the backyard! We never spend time out there, but I am ready to now that it is getting cooler out in the evenings. I also have sent an email to someone about a kids' picnic table for the backyard too. Keep your fingers crossed that they haven't sold it yet! The way I figure it, Caleb isn't going to use this stuff for an extremely long time (like a big swingset later), so I don't want to spend an arm and a leg for this stuff. The stuff I'm looking at is REALLY, REALLY cheap, so that makes it even more exciting! So, yay for www.craigslist.com!!!

I've noticed with my kids and many other people's as well, that the terrible 2's really do come earlier than 2. I think 18 months is just about right. The good thing is that they also end earlier than you think.
WHAT?!?! End earlier?? Nick is still going through them!!!
Sorry, can't speak to the why's of tantruming and how kids even learn how to do that? But the restuarant thing is so true for this one restuarant by the Richardson Square Mall behind the bank. In the nine years I have been here 4 different restuarants have been there and none have lasted more than a year. I think they should bull doze it with the rest of the mall project and start over and see if it will do better.
I love Craig's List! I have bought several great things for my kids on there and sold several things...including most of my maternity clothes! But my greatest find was my babysitter! She is the best and I found her on Craig's List!

I too, love Craigslist, although I'm usually selling something. And I know what you mean about some locations just not being good for business. Sometimes it seems like there's no explanation but every kind of business under the sun moves in and out and no one can make it stick.
