This has NOT been a good week....

I'm mad, no I'm PISSED! I am ready to pull my hair out - actually I want to kill Em, but this might be frowned upon in polite society, so I'll just snatch myself bald instead. This girl sat on her ass for an entire week during springbreak last week, sleeping in and playing video games. Fine! This is the first time she got to stay home and didn't have to go to the sitter's and I wanted her to have one of those nice typical lazy kid vacations. However, what she failed to tell us was that she had a MAJOR project due at school this Friday! And she hadn't even started it. So what does she do on Monday, after I leave in the morning she calls Kent on his cell phone to tell him she needs some stuff to START this project. She does an end-around and tries to get past ME. BAD MOVE! I have been riding her ass for 3 straight days now to try and get this thing done. She, and I mean SHE, 'cuz I am not going to help this time!, has to do a display board for the country of Argentina - A full color map, a flag, a clay bust of Eva Peron, a quilt square for the world quilt the class is making and a full report. In 4 days!! And I don't think it's going to happen. I told Em she would have to ask the teacher if she could get an extention 'till Monday. She says she will ask, but the teacher wants a reason, like your computer is broken or something.... Well guess what darlin', you are just going to have to fess up and tell her the truth. You just didn't get it done because you "forgot" to get it started! For which I was award the classic daughter look. Which I threw back at her with the classic mother look and here we are. GRRRRRRRRR!!!! AND and top of that she has missed 5 homework assignments that need to also be turned in by Friday. GRRRRRR!! *sighs* Ok, I'm better!! Sorry guys! Had to get that out, because tonight I also have to finish her performance dance costume for this weekend and would not want to be around the house all fired up with scissors in my hand. Kiss, Kiss ~ Thanks for listening!
