Help...I need baby advice.

I wish I had more time to write in this thing. I think we are getting a laptop with taxes. I hope so, that will also help with my teaching assignments. Right now, I am battling with housework. My back feels like it's breaking all the time. I didn't do anything to hurt it, at least, I don't think I did. My sister in law is due with her baby in 15 days so we are trying to get her house all baby-prepped. She's getting overwhelmed which is completely understandable. This is her second child. She has a 8 year old girl, Morgan and this will be Isaac Alan Akers. Say that 3 times fast.
I am a little frustrated at my inability to stop Kara from wanting to smack in the face. She seems to do it when she's excited, but I don't want her to pick up the habit. I smack her hand and say "no, that hurts mommy", but then she just looks at me and smiles and does it again. Booger! Help! If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! I want to do the right thing and I DON'T want my daughter to learn to be mean.
One of my parenting role-models is Sarah Cook. I read her blogs, I've watched her raise three beautiful daughters. She's a woman of faith and a great and supportive wife. They've had lots of challenges in their lives and faith, but she instills values and love to her girls. If I could be more like her. I want to spend more quality time with my daughter. I want to read more and pray more and show her how special she is in God's and my eyes. You are very encouraging to me, Sarah. Don't you dare stop blogging! I love you, girl!
Well, it is Kara's bedtime, so I better get going. God Bless!
