Sitting in the freshly tidied home (thank you, self) after the kidz were snoozing. Will-O left today after a 1 week stay and though it was civil and fine, it is calming and necessary to get the home back in order.
Worst Part of the Day-
The morning. After my long day of workin it yesterday, I didn't do my typical house pick-up and organize session for the morning. That was a mistake. Scarlet's back pack was MIA and her snow pants, coat and mittens were balled up and wet from the day before. While she has other mittens and coats, she doesn't like to wear them to school (why?). It was a cluster o' tears. Arrrgggghhh.
Note: Scarlet came home from school with new Hannah Montana gloves. When I asked her where she got the gloves, she stated cheerfully they were a present from the substitute teacher today. She said, "I got them because I was helping the teacher." Hmmm. Usually teachers don't give out anything more than stars. I began to pump her for more info. I asked what the substitute brought if a boy was the helper. She started to look sheepish. I pressed her for more details and then said I would like to call the teacher to thank him for the gloves. Then she broke. No, no, no. "I didn't get them from the teacher...I took them from my friend." "You stole the gloves, Scarlet?" "No, I just took them." We discussed this and agreed she would return them tomorrow. We also discussed lies and fibs, etc. I feel good that I know kids who tell fibs are bright and creative and imaginative (not evil, like my parents thought), but we have got to nip this in the bigtime bud.
