Ahh yes, how many mothers out there have been told they are mean? Or that they don't love their child? I know, it is something we all hear from our little darlings at one point or another. But at the tender age of six? Oh my little spit fire, yes she is...I must say that girl has a stubborn streak in her (no idea where that comes from!) Today we asked her to make her bed before breakfast, a normal request. Oh no....not today...she was not having it!!! She threw the biggest stomping yelling, on the floor fit! Where it came from? We have no idea!!?!? We thought we had been time warped back into the terrible twos....it was almost comical. She hollered "You don't love me....you are the meanest parents EVER!" Of course that earned her a ONE WAY ticket to her bedroom to cool her little independent jets! Haha! My goodness are we feeling are way around childhood! :-) I keep reminding myself, grain of salt!
Bless her little soul, among the chaos of Anna's fits of rage, Madelyne snuck in her room and made her bed for her. Then Anna cried even louder "Now I 'm never going to eat breakfast AGAIN!" Oh. these are the things I must document, as they are so very funny! We told Anna she owed her sister and Anna proceeded straight to the kitchen...so Anna! Once she had her breakfast her mood instantly changed!
I think spring has finally SPRUNG and we are on our way to a reprieve from the cool weather! YAAAAHOOOO! The kids played outside last night until way past dark, a first of the season, it was a balmy 74 degrees yesterday...so nice! We set up the girls soccer net they got for Easter and had 11 kids in our backyard last night playing. It was almost enough for a real game! The kids were having a great time.
Our front tree is finally blooming and looks as beautiful as ever, this year I had to capture the flowers before they were gone. Here you go mom...now you won't miss it. Well, this is mine, not quite the same!
Wishing everyone a relaxing weekend~
(I am happy to report....I have my lesson plans DONE for my 8th grade for the rest of the year...now that feels good.....I see the light!)
One Day at a Time.....
