School Days

Sunday night was game night. Punkin' decided it would be a perfect time to play a video game with Daddy. When bedtime rolled around, I gave her a 5 minute warning. Her reply was super sweet....."Nope! I'm staying up forever, and you have to go to work because you are RUINING game night!"

Wow, ok, I wasn't even mean...what did I do to deserve this??? Oh that's right, usually I work nights so its just Daddy and daughters. So on the night's I am home, I am the wicked witch of the west. Well she got sent to bed after the 5 minutes. She then proceeded to yell for about 30 minutes that she was staying up forever! Then she fell asleep from exhaustion.

Monday morning I woke Punkin' up for school. After many grumbles and groans she declared "IT'S VACATION! I don't have school today!" Of course I told her there are no vacation days in March, that she has vacation in April, which is next month so it's time to get up..... ***more grumbles***

Ah...here we arrive at school. Her teacher asked her how her weekend was. I thought it was a good weekend. She saw her biological mother, her half sister and cousins from her mother's side. She played, she relaxed. What could have been better than that? Boy was I wrong. She told her teacher she had a TERRIBLE weekend. Why was it terrible? Because it was only two days long! At least that didn't affect her behavior at school because she had a great day! :)

I picked her up and watched her walk around our car, not noticing the huge missing bumper from Dad's accident Sunday. I asked her if she had noticed anything different about the car. Nope. Nothings different. Take another walk around, look closely Punkin'. Nope. Nothings different. Look at the front of the car Punkin'. Oh My Gosh! What the heck happened?I explained to her that while she was at her mother's Daddy had an accident. She got in the car with a look of extreme thought. As I started to drive she said (in the most serious tone): Ma do you have a lawyer? I asked why would I need a lawyer? She said well Daddy crashed the car, so you guys need a lawyer to help fix it. I couldn't stop laughing at her. When I finally did she was agitated that I had laughed so hard. I apologized and explained to her that we don't need a lawyer, we have car insurance and that when the car was in the shop getting fixed we would rent a different looking car. She insisted we still need a lawyer.

Good Morning Punkin'! Its Tuesday, time to get up for school! :).... yeah...Punkin' was not as happy as I was this morning! She answered "UGH! AGAIN?" Yes, I told her, you have school Monday - Friday. Today is Tuesday, so including today you have four more days today. To which she so nicely replied "That is ridiculous!" Good thing her tune changed at school...another great day!

Wednesday morning she claims its still vacation and she doesn't know why I keep getting her up so early. I again explained to her that she doesn't have vacation in March it is in April. She thinks I'm full of it. She doesn't believe me. Show her the calendar...yea she still thinks I'm full of it. But another great day! I cannot wait to wake her up tomorrow! Maybe because its St. Patty's Day tomorrow and she gets to wear green she will believe that there is school....lets find out.

I will forever <3 her. She says she loves me because I'm a good mom and I take great care of her, but thinks I kiss and hug her too much. Its because I love Punkin', Sweet Pea and Boo Boo lots n lots forever n ever... <3 <3
