I'm glad that at this point in time, all i have to deal with is watching "memo" (finding nemo) and "bob bob" (sponge bob) over and over and over and over and over again.

Fuck, now I miss Jr. 
I'm enjoying a minute of solitude myself. The wife is asleep in bed and my munchkin is dozing in his sling chair in front of the TV - we watch Mike & Mike on ESPN every morning. Now though it's time to start breakfast so I can get to work.

My daughter started off my day by being mad that I ran out of bananas. Her revenge was to wait until I was on the floor doing sit ups and then stomp on my face as hard as she could. I've never been so happy to drop her off at preschool.

You deserved it, you know. I can't believe you ran out of bananas.
I got another call last night about how Erin had gotten potato chips all over Mommy and Daddy's bed, so they were hunting for clean sheets.
Then with Ian too afraid of the lighting and thunder to go to bed, Mom put on speaker phone and we all chatted about the storm going over us. We talked about anything we could think of to keep 2 little minds off of the storm until it pass by.
Then Erin demanded that she wanted to talk to Poppaa. No can do I said as he was down stairs in bed and I had nothing on, so couldn't take the phone to him. She started to cry, while we reminded her that they would see Jonwin and I Thursday. I ask if they would help me make a yard sign for Obama and then said good night as my sleeping pill kick in.

My son thwacked me in the face today, so I shoved him into his bedroom and shut the door for timeout. Later, my daughter is like, "Mommy, come look at what Buddy did!"
I asked, "Will it make me happy or sad?"
Silence.
"Mad."
I go look, he's drawn a gigantic green spiral on the back of their white bedroom door. I was somewhere between angry and hysterical laughing, so I took that frickin pen and wrote BAD BOY on his stomach, which he found hilarious since it tickled so much.
I forgot about it and he later paid me back when we went to the zoo with the in-laws and cousins by lifting up his shirt and showing everyone his pompom.

You probably shouldn't tell her about the possibility that bananas might be in danger of going extinct in the near future(or at least the cavendish variety).

Toddlers hate being separated from you more than just about anything in the whole world. I find it to be very effective.

Joph's cousin tries this on her three year old, and he just screams and refuses to stay where she puts him. I suppose if you have a kid that isn't throwing a screaming tantrum the whole time it would be more effective.
Also we find laughing at our eldest if he tries to do the whole stamping feet/tantrum thing stops it dead in its tracks.
Doteing on your kids is good so long at you also make sure they know who is in charge and it isn't them.
The words "Naughty" and "Chair" in the same sentance, draws instant good behaviour from David.
Mia has hit the tantrum stage pretty hard. She definately knows that she is not in charge but that doesn't stop her from trying to exert her will. It's textbook, really.
And I want to strangle her daily.

No way, physical violence is the only way to teach them who's in charge. I mean if they hit you first, it's self defense.

No turning my thread into that now. We don't need to beat that poor horse anymore...let him rest in peas.

She does have a screaming temper tantrum. I just let her. I discuss it with her and explain that 1. I'm not talking to her until she's done screaming because she's hurting my ears, and 2. As soon as she's done being naughty, we can have fun times, but that I'm not interested in playing with her while she's being mean. I also usually follow it up with an "I sure miss my favorite girl" and a "I really wish we could play together."
She understands, and calms herself down. It's usually a couple of minutes before I get a "I'm all better!" and an "I'm sorry Mama."

I tried giving him a timeout, but he won the battle of wills by yelling at me, so I had to hit him.
Hahahaha.
Ok, done now.

Same thing with Noah, and he's well past that toddler stage. He's just a brat though.
He does something wrong, we call him on it, he gets mad, we send him to his room with the door shut. We let him know that if he can stop screaming and yelling (and kicking, lord does he love to kick), then he can come out. It's almost pitiful the way he asks to be let out before he's finished calming down, but I've learned to not let it get to me.
And like Nexa said, once the screaming is over, I get a "I'm better now, can I come out?" and almost always an apology.

Hannah doesn't usually kick. If she's in medium tantrum mode, she jumps up and down and whines. If she's in full swing...it's the spitting. Jesus Christ don't I want to strangle her with the spitting. She seems to be letting go of that behavior though, since I tell her it's disgusting and I'm not hugging her when she's all covered with spit.

Spitting - huh, never dealt with that.
Noah gets the whole "Curly from Three Stooges" thing going. He falls in the floor and spins around on one shoulder. It's pretty funny when I'm not furious at him, haha. Then he lays on his back and kicks the floor or wall as hard as he can. *That's* what gets me, ugh.

It's terrible when I start laughing at her...she gets to mad. Of course, her yelling "It's NOT FUNNY MAMA!" just makes me laugh more. It's important to me to take her seriously when she's trying to express herself, but hell, sometimes it's funny.

Noah's newest tactic is to tell me I've hurt his feelings when I've punished him. Sorry kid, that won't work on me either. Back in your cage!
Oh Hannah's is "Mommy...I love you."
