Yeah, I'm Still Alive.

when permalinks are enabled.
I've been
busy with my other job this week — you know,
the mom job — and I'm feeling exhausted. My
oldest and I are butting heads and he's had
priviledges taken away again. He drew on the wall in
his sister's room — signed his own name which
was just brilliant, especially considering she can't
write yet. Then he lied — something I was often
guilty of at his age — and now he's in double
trouble. Not only has he lost all of his art
supplies, pencils, paper, etc. for a week, he has to
be where I can either see him or know exactly what he
is doing. Another punishment that is as hard on me as
it is on him.
At least I've learned something from this experience. When I am positive about which child has committed the crime, I will never again ask "who did this"? I'll just address the culprit and thereby avoid the whole pubishment for lying portion of the program. Sigh.
