Is it nearly the end of the week?

I will be SO glad when this week is done! Work's been ok, but there was an issue to deal with on Monday and Michael is away so that wasn't a great start to the week! And then Little Miss Boo has in all honesty ben a bit of a nightmare! We've had so much shouting, and being nasty that it's starting to grind me down slightly! I will admit that i am quick to shout at her (it's part of my personality!?!) but honestly the slightest thing that she disagrees with makes her fly into an outpouring of various comments, mostly including "i'm not your friend anymore"! Anyway today we went out after school as she needed some summer school sandals, and we had a great time out, she got some summer clothes too, had to justify whether that was 'treating' her, but i don't think it is as it is hot here and she is still wearing tracksuit trousers from the winter, we then came back and she had some dinner etc and all was fine! We then decided to clear out her old clothes, most of which go to my friend's little girl... she kept asking if she could keep things for Jordon aka Winnie-the-pooh, and in the end i said she could choose three things, she clearly wanted five, and all hell broke loose in the Wall household where she slammed doors and screamed! I somehow remained calm and said if she was to make a fuss she would have none of them and put her in the hallway to think about it. Eventually we came to a decision, and strangely she chose only two things...not quite sure how that worked! But i just hoped we could have one day where she didn't throw some kind of fit about something...so we'll have to try again tommorrow!

Then to top my day off....did a load of washing today....just looked outside and next door are having a BBQ, everything now smells slightly of sausages!!!!

If this is really recent behaviour check she isn't being bullied at school or having problems with something like Maths. I went through a few times like this with my kids over the years and it usually boiled down to something amiss at school. It sound like she is wanting to control over some aspect of her life, at the moment it is you, in place of the thing that is really bothering her.

Have good weekend
