Not only did the tsunami hit the country of Japan but it hit here at our house as well. How can someone with such an angelic face and so small be soooo EVIL?! And to think that we are going for chili pepper #2. Am I a gluten for punishment or what?
For the most part Mimi is a really good kid but man oh man did she give me a run for the money this week.
All week long it has been the snotty attitude. Also I must mention the lies has started. I then tell the kid that she is not a good liar. She always gets caught so she may as well give it up.
Then when I told her that I am going to quit folding her clothes since I found her clean clothes all piled up on her closet floor and strewn about her room, the girl says with the snide remark "yeah, you are. You're going to fold my clothes" I think not. Then there was the "so what's?!" sprinkled with several "damn's"
By yesterday I was soooo through with the kid and I brought out the big guns. All electronics were taken away, you know, tv, computer, DSi's, Wii's, CD player, MP3 player, DVD, walkie talkie, yup, I think that's about it. Then the even bigger gun came out when the girl had a total meltdown about the electronics being taken away........no birthday/sleepover at Erin's tomorrow night. The plan is also for her to take Erin's present over to the house and explain to Erin WHY she is not able to join in the fun.
Then came last night when the invite to Kate & Ethan's party came. Mimi opened it up this morning and I explained to her that if this nasty attitude keeps up, she will miss out on that party too. No skin off of my nose.
My angel is back. Need I say more?
