Well, i had my "sit down" and it was successful. I feel like am way more informed about our finances. With all the questions I had regarding life insurance and mutual funds, Rob was a bit paranoid that I might take him out in the middle of the night. It's good to keep people on their toes....I also learned how to do Itunes. I am really growing up!
TEN. Well, I have vivid memories of arguing w/ my mom and knowing I had the will and strength to go the distance so it shouldn't surprise me that my 10 year old has the same might. I am 42 now. I am tired. I no longer have the power to engage in such nonsense. So I must dig deep and ignore right? Because here's how it's shaking out over at my house lately.
Scenario 1
"Maeve, you are chewing gum every day. That's horrible for your teeth. Gum is a treat and you should only chew it occasionally".
Maeve, "I don't chew gum every day".
Me, "yes, you do".
Maeve, "No I don't."
Scenario 2
"Maeve, Grace needs to stop calling here every 15 minutes".
"She doesn't call every 15 minutes", she protests.
Me, "I have the caller ID to prove it. Stop arguing w/ everything I say."
Maeve, "She doesn't call every 15 minutes.".
OH MY GOD, YES SHE DOES!!!!!! Can you hear the screaming in my head???!!!
Scenario 3
"Can I ask a friend to come over to watch Idol".
"No"
"Why"
"Because, we jsut don't need to have friends w/ us all of the time".
"Why?"
BECAUSE I SAID NO!!!!!!!!
Scenario 4
"Maeve, you have been arguing with me non stop. If I say the sky is gray, you say "no, it's blue" and it's really aggrevating me so stop">
Maeve, "I don't argue with you every day".
YES YOU DO!!!!!!
