3-1-16 She had a minor tantrum because I was too tired to take her to the school fundraiser at the roller rink tonight. I realized she reacts just like I used to when I was a kid, but mine didn’t start until I was in the 7th grade…she’s in 2nd!

Cactus Watercolor 3-7-16
3-7-16 Taking Carly to school…I’m foggy from a cold…my phone dings with a message, I start to read it and take out our neighborhood mailboxes. SHOULD NOT READ MESSAGES & DRIVE! She had her after school art class and brought home her watercolor painting. I was in a hurry to get to my clients, but she wants to finish her cactus watercolor painting, so I wait a few minutes for her too finish, telling her to hurry. We stopped to get gas, I think we’re on our way, then as soon as we’re driving down the road, she tells me she has to use the bathroom. I yell at her about how she should have went before we left school and we just passed our house, etc. I stopped back at the school since we were driving by and took her to the bathroom. She gets upset and says, “You would be happier without me!” Awesome…I’ve damaged my kid for life. I asked her why she thought that and she said because I’m always mad at her. I had to remind her that I would not be happier without her and told her mommy shouldn’t get so mad, etc. “Mother of the Year Award” again! We made it to my listing and they have a 4 year old daughter that she could play with. I think it’s time for a mom & daughter fun day since I’ve been working so much lately.
3-8-16 While I was waiting for her to get out of school, received a call that she placed 2nd in the dance choreography division at the State level in the Art Reflections program. She’s much more talented than her parents! Ice skating with Arlene after school, then she went with me to show a home to a friend.

Beauty is Kindness to me 3-15-16
