Noah was awake at 5am. I don’t know why. I just was in the bathroom and could hear him banging his headboard. So I stumbled into his bedroom and told him it was the middle of the night and go back to sleep. I’m not sure he did. I do know I had trouble falling back asleep. Till I was awoken again at 7am.

I bought some new bath rugs for the kid’s bathroom at Target on clearance yesterday. They are such a pretty blue. Anyway… this morning there was a poop turd on one of them. There’s an opportunity to teach a lesson in here about boy butt wiping sitting ON the toliet. So much for buying lovely things for my children.

Dinara is testing everyone’s resolve. She’s into seeing how far she can push things. In the car on the ride home she was “convinced” that Emma ate her candy and figured even if there was no real reason to assume Emma at the candy… she could still just assume it was her because she was closest to the candy last time she saw the candy. There was no negotiating with her. Then she realized after Noah kept saying “let’s just stop talking about this…who cares really?” that it was in fact NOAH who took the candy.

Then Dinara spent 10 minutes arguing with Noah that she should not have to give him his punching balloon back because it was her AIR inside it. Then finally she punched it over to him, hit him in the head and told him he could have the stupid balloon she didn’t want it anyway and to enjoy her spit. Nice. *sigh*

We had to be at the orthodontist today at 9am. I paid 2K. That deserves it’s on paragraph don’t you think?

Now ask me how dramatic an prepubescent 8 year old can be about expanders. Gah. Suffer silently please. Then in the car Dinara said she was going to her friends house. I said it was too early and so she said something about “how can it be too early if we just got back from the dentist appointment?” To which then Emma launched into a long diatribe about how it wasn’t Dinara’s dentist appointment but HERS. So I stopped the car, gave her the evil eye in the rear view mirror and in a very angry tone of voice told her to knock off being so argumentative… that Dinara said “a” dentist appointment not “her” dentist appointment and perhaps she should try to be a bit more pleasant.

It’s only 10am. The kids are on midwinter break. It’s going to be a fun day.
