Today I don’t want an RV, I don’t want a truck, I don’t even want kids…  I have completely overwhelmed myself with research and information, negotiations and calls.  There is so much to know and I could continue but I had to put an end to it. 

Today, Zoe was terribly rude, inconsiderate and sassy.  It was all I could do to keep calm and under control.  In my head, I was going crazy and couldn’t believe that she would talk to me like that-couldn’t believe it.  It got to every nerve I own.  I didn’t know what to do or what to say.  How do you handle that in a proper manner without lowering yourself to THAT level or getting in a power struggle?  She went to bed at 5:30pm-that was the only power that I had.

Zane followed right in her footsteps and started saying, “You’re mean mommy.”  That was simply because it was time for friends to go home.  Ya know what… all I wanted was for somebody to just tell me that I was a good mommy, a nice person, and to talk nicely to me-asking too much? 

Zane eventually gave me a hug and said, “I’m sorry mama.”  That made me happy.
