FRAULEIN LILY

so as previously posted, my summer motto is "I AM THE BOSS!!!" triple exclamation points, all caps, shout out loud.

tonight, i said to bc3 about lily, "i will break her." 5 time outs tonight in a span of 1 hour. that's one for the record books.

i don't want to sound like miss prima donna, but i had to walk home from the train station this evening because a certain miss lily c would not let mr bc3 change her stinking, and i mean stinking diaper! he couldn't get her in the car, and when i arrived at the train station, they were still at home. so i walked. in bad shoes. and i got blisters. grrrrrrr!!!

i got home and decided a lecture was in order... a "you must listen to daddy, and mommy had to walk home from the train station because you were not behaving and i got blisters" lecture. i also decided that the barbie radio would be confiscated along with broby and muno yo gabba gabba dolls as punishment (if you don't have pre schoolers, don't know what noggin is, and have no idea what i'm talking about, open up another window and google it!)

a screaming, hollering, and all hands on deck tantrum ensued..."I WANT MY MUNO PUNO DOLL!!!!! I WANT MY BURBIE RADIO!!! IT'S MINE! " exclamation points, shout out loud. time out...#1.

then macaroni and cheese dinner (lazy tonight) where lily decided she forgot how to feed herself.. through sobs, "i don't how to feed myself...!" ranting... time out #2.

within 30 more minutes, time out #3, #4, #5... during the latter two she was sent to her room. she just wouldn't feed herself, continued to hang on me, and just carry on.

so she finally, after to5 decided to eat her dinner, the whole thing, including the edamame, which was her "treat."

then she recounted the whole evening, telling me how many time outs she had, and how she wasn't behaving, and that pearl was behaving, and that she wants to be a good girl and how she just ate her "ememames" because she was behaving "now." complete with sorrowful nods punctuating her contrition.

one of my favorite lines from sound of music....

"Fraulein, is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion"

i think i'll have this lazer enscribed on a titanium plaque, it's so damn bang on to what my night was like.
