Perawatan dan Kecantikan Ku Untuk Om Hery
4 years ago
This was one of "those" weeks. The kind where being a mom seems like the most unappreciated, exhausting, why-did-I-ever-get-myself-into-this kind of weeks. Maegan and Brooklen are just about to make me go insane. The constant whining, fighting and talking back is so frustrating. I even took a day off earlier this week so Maegan and I could spend a little time together. Fast forward to tonight....more of the same. I decided I was too tired to cook dinner so we went out. Maegan has this thing that every place she go she suddenly needs to go to the bathroom. She has been like this since she was a little kid. It drives me crazy. I knew she didn't really "need" to go. You know, there was no potty dance going on if you know what I mean. As soon as the words were out of her mouth Brooklen suddenly needed to go too. This is also another trend, if Maegan says it, suddenly Brooklen needs to also. Anyway, I was so frustrated with her already so I said, no, you can wait. So what does she do? She peed her pants. Yes, my almost 9 year old daughter peed her pants to prove to me that she really had to go potty. I asked for our check and we left. I was expecting a big, wet spot and what do you know....nothing, visible at least. When I pointed this out to her she said, "well there wasn't that much." Doesn't she realize that she just confirmed my point that she, in fact, didn't REALLY need to go? Seriously, I just a post about pee and the most stubborn child ever. Sometimes I seriously question the choices I've made in my life. I certainly hope that someday us moms will have some amazing blessings come our way because right now I am just not feeling it.
It's science fair season at the elementary school. Jordyn did her project with her bff McKayla. They decided to test whether adding food coloring to food will change the flavor. They decided to test this theory by making vanilla cupcakes. Some with coloring and others without. The first part of the project, actually making and testing the cupcakes they completed within days of the assignment. Kayla's mom was gracious enough to let the two of them have free reign over the cooking. I don't think I would have been as easy-going so it was a win-win in my book. After the initial baking day the project got put on the back burner although I was aware the project was due on February 3rd. Last week Melanie (Kayla's mom) and I emailed each other a few times to figure out when we could get the girls together to finish making their board. We have two very busy girls so it was hard arranging the date. We thought we had plenty of time until on February 1st both Jordyn and Kayla approached us basically saying, "Ummmm...they're due tomorrow! What are going to do?" That's when scramble mode set in. Luckily I had already purchased the cardboard for the display. At about 9:30 p.m. Melanie and Kayla arrived and we all pitched in putting the board together while jamming/singing to Taylor Swift. I had some bright pink wrapping paper we used for the display and Kayla brought a stash of paper she had at home and magically they worked together. The girls typed up what they wanted to say. I made a few edits but mostly left it how it was. Melanie cut pictures and borders while the girls colored and put together their board. The final touch was a "heart attack" which cracked up me and Melanie. There was absolutely question that two 10 year old girls were the designers of this board! The girls had so much fun and said they would always remember this night. We finished a couple minutes before midnight and they were able to go home so we could all get some sleep. They didn't place but Jordyn told me she didn't think they would but they still had fun working on it. It was also fun for me to get to know Melanie better. McKayla is a great girl and I'm really happy she and Jordyn have become such close friends this year.
