I picked Morgan up from after school today and everything seemed hunky dory. When I was getting in the car, she asked what we were having for dinner, I said pizza. Morgan whined, "I want McDonald's!" I replied we are not eating out tonight, Mommy is going to cook dinner when we get home while you finish your homework. The she proceeds in whining while telling me that she forgot her library book at school today. I reply with, "that's okay Morgan, you can bring it home tomorrow." She whines, "No I can't we have to bring it back tomorrow!" I reply, "Morgan honey you just got the book today, you get to keep it for a week, so you still have plenty of time to bring it home to read before it is due back." Morgan screams, "No we don't you don't know anything mom!", and begins crying.
Let's just say everything rolled down hill from there! She was absolutely defiant over finishing her homework, consistently whined about "needing" to watch TV, and only ate about half her dinner. After we had been home about an hour & a half, I put her whiney behind to bed, once again explaining that the only thing she "needed" to do was her homework or go to bed. Then she proceeding whining about how she didn't know how to go to bed! After 30 minutes of whining in her bed and then spilling the last drink of a soda she wasn't supposed to even have in her room on her bed (BTW I didn't even strip the bed since I had just made the darn thing with fresh sheets not 45 minutes prior to her spilling soda on it, I just fold a towel in half and put it over the wet spot and told her to lay down) she finally whined herself to sleep!
So of course the only way for me to wind down & de-stress is to blog about it (since the isn't any wine that goes in a glass in the house). Not sure if I feel any better about it, but hey both kids are asleep & I am heading to bed myself in about 4 minutes! I am completely drained after my lovely evening! Let's just hope Morgan wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow!
