Thank You Little Einsteins and I hate You!

I'm not talking about the now defamed "Baby Einstein" but The Disney Channel's "Little Einsteins" which is now Oscar's very favorite show. I just had to pause right now to restart another show. All I hear all day long is "Linestien?!" (That's how he says it, no my kid is not smarter then yours, he can't pronounce Einsteins) So I turn it on and for a half hour at a time I can get something done. Yesterday I got to talk to my "adviser" for school for a whole 18 minutes before he started yelling at me. Thank goodness we can barely afford the DVR, I'd be screwed. I think he has more shows recorded on it then I do. I have yet to get to watch my Monday night shows because well yeah I had to work on stuff for my class and well this keeps him entertained.

I'm almost half way done with my class! I'm so excited! If I can get it done before February I'll be all good to go! I'm giving myself that dead line so I can get a job before my temp assignment gets done with my other work. I'm trying really hard not to get frustrated with it all, but it's really hard. The thing is the rules change for EVERY assignment. And the "advisor" told me that. "well you can't do the same thing on every assignment." What kind of sense does that make? Then why do they have "rules" if everything changes every time?? And when I think that I've got it and it's good. It's not. And it's only getting harder. This next assignment I have to get an 85% or better on it. UGH! And for the midterm I have to get that the FIRST time around. No do overs. I don't think I'll make it. But to me it just doesn't seem practical. Especially after talking to other people that are transcribing for doctors right now.
Well on that lovely note, I have to get going and work on my next assignment. I have to get it in by tomorrow. Gotta stay on schedule!

My Kid is Soo Not Smarter Then Yours

***Notice:***
 This post contains the word Retard. If the word Retard offends you quit reading now. I don't honestly think my kid is retarded, I'm being sarcastic. And if I truly felt something was "wrong" with him, I wouldn't use the word Retard.

Okay here we go:

I have the opposite feeling of most moms. Even though I'm sure in some ways Oscar is very smart, I have this feeling that he might be retarded or something. Every other blog that I read that has a three year old in it, they seem to be able to speak complete sentences and in perfect English. Where as my son, I get "bobbuddyday" for Bob The Builder and "jum jum" for "Jungle Junction." And today I read a blog where someone's three year old told her a dream he had the night before! WHA?! He told you there were spiders in his dream?! Oscar can't even tell me why he fell out of bed, just that "hurt, arm broke" (It's not really broken, just that when ever he gets hurt somethings broke or bloody to him)
So I don't think you'll ever catch me saying "my kid is such a genius!" it will more likely be "what? well my kid can drive faster then yours!" "okay not really, your kid is way better then mine."
Okay so while writing this we had a potty training break through! I heard Oscar say to himself. "Oh! I have to pee." and he went in the bathroom all by himself and peed. OMG I HAVE THE SMARTEST KID ALIVE!!!!!!
And then, he pooped his pants. AGAIN. Ahh two steps forward...and giant leaps back.
