Its Only Tuesday????

UPDATE: I must say that last night after coming home for VBS, Elizabeth was extremely sweet and was very attentive to a talk we had. Not sweet in a "I can get over Mommy way" but sat and we talked...(Not about the store incident) but a general talk from the day.


I do not know why, but it feels like it should be Thursday already. Possibly because both girls started VBS at Limona last night, which makes the day extra long. VBS at Limona includes dinner and runs from 5:30 - 8:15. Dinner is optional which is 5:30-6:00. Last night I was able to go to the gym, but kept my cell close by. I was concerned with Jillian, but no calls and she did very well. Tonight my husband and I were going to go to the gym, but instead we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Love their lettuce wraps!!!

Today I also had another followup appt. for Elizabeth with her ENT. Looks like we are still holding off on the tubes. She has an outer ear infection, which they really want to treat first. But the specialist did see some improvement. We'll see again in 2 weeks!

Both girls have been under my skin today. With Elizabeth, there is a lot of asking to do something, me saying no with a clear explanation and her just going ahead and doing it anyway. There was also an incident today with George going to Publix for me, taking both girls and Jillian trying to grab and take M&M's. George took them away only to go in the parking lot and find that Elizabeth took a pack and put them in her little purse. Normally she does not bring it, but she did today. George handled it appropriately by bring the girls back in the store and having Elizabeth hand them to the woman at the courtesy desk. I am not happy about this, but I am not suppose to know about it. George handled it and left it up to Elizabeth to tell me. She chose not to, which is fine. As long as one of us were 110% involved. I've always respected my husband, but with this, I have the highest respect for him, knowing that he is a man that wants to handle things and not wait for me to. He is 100% involved in helping and decision making....I have a gem for a guy!

Anyway, at 6 yrs old, she knows not to take things that do not belong to her and knows perfectly well not to take anything from a store. Now whether she saw Jillian do it and thought she could, that's beside the point. I am concerned about this change of behavior today and only can go to bed and know that tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully I will see a complete turn around. As far as the "stealing" part, I was not there but can clearly see that whatever transpired with George and her, made a impression on her....

I can't remember what it was, but Sarah once took something small from Walmart. So, I marched her right back inside and made her return it and apologize to the lady at the customer service desk.
And she's never made that mistake ever again.
