I am at a complete loss about what to do with my oldest daughter. i swear, sometimes she can be the smartest and best behaved little girl, and other times she takes it just a step too far. This time, i think we even went beyond that. We now know that she was lying about what happened at the school on Friday. HOW DO YOU TEACH A 6 YEAR OLD NOT TO LIE? I NEED HELP! I just don't know what to do. I mean, we are punnishing her for it. She can't play with the new cat we got her Thursday for at least a few more days. She has to clean house with us every single night, and keep her room spotless (which is a challenge for her. It's never really clean) and she doesn't get to play jumpstart for a week. But from there, i don't know what else to do. I don't know how to make her understand that it's wrong, and hurtful, to tell a lie. Especially when that lie is about someone like a teacher. Things could have gone terribly wrong if she had continued that lie. As it was, she made me out to be an idiot, seeing as how i had already sent a hateful e-mail. I had to send another appology e-mail about the whole thing, because of her lying. I just don't know what to do.
Today i had to get my base pass changed over so i can go clean tomorrow. So i had to go print up a copy of our insurance because they are taking forever to get us our actual cards, and then run it by pass and id up there and get it changed, and then rush back to get Ivy from school. That way we don't have to rush around tomorrow morning to get it done before i can clean. I can walk Ivy to school, then jump in the car and go. Ruben will be able to watch Desiree for a few hours, and as long as i bust my butt to get it done fast, it shouldn't take me too long. I am a perfectionist when cleaning for someone else, so it's hard for me to really get it done fast and still be happy with it, so i just hope we can make it work out ok. Brita will be there this time, which is fine with me. i've cleaned around people before. And i think it will be a good thing too, because that way i can make sure that i've done it to the standard of the military and not have to come back to fix it, ya know? I just hope she doesn't mind me asking her questions tomorrow.
Right now, i've got to get off here and get Ivy to do her homework and read me her story. Honestly, i've been waiting for this. Even though she doesn't really like it that much, i know it will do us some good to take a little bit of time out to help her.
Oh, and i found something out that i wish i had known a bit earlier. Oklahoma offers the K-12 program. Which means, i could have homeschooled her FOR FREE if i had known in time. That would have been pretty cool i think. SOO, if Highland park doesn't work out, i might just do that next year instead. I could have both girls home with me all day, and then maybe enroll her in some kind of dance or something like that for the social interaction. Just something i need to really think about.
Neway, outta here. LATERS
