Bad Day :(

So dearest husband is not pulling his weight today... and I don't know how single manage all that needs to be done.

It is 8 o'clock and my little people are finally in bed.


Troubles today-

1. Katie is such a sassy backtalker. I am at my wits end. She sassed me something fierce at soccer practice today. I wanted to crawl under a rock as the other parents watched her behave so badly. After practice, we (Katie and I) decided that as punishment when she talks back she will get 6 minutes in the corner. As a reward, everyday that she does not talk back she will get a sticker on her chart. After 5 sticker she will get a quarter (cheap I know, but her idea).

2. I am having trouble controlling my urge to snack. After do a great job of sticking to my dietary guns for 24 days, I am off the wagon. I don't keep decent snacks in the house so I was forced to indulge in a ridiculous number of Nilla Wafers.

Positives

1. Katie did a great job of practicing her piano. She played 5 songs 3 times each and we didn't have a single argument and no tears were shed.

2. I didn't kill Marshall.

I'm going to take a page from Scarlet O'Hara, head to bed and hope that when I awake tomorrow will be a better day.
