Devil Made Me Do It

I think the devil moved in overnight and has taken over Emma. She was quite crazed out this morning. Her alarm goes off at 6:30 and the devil started talking for her. To prevent this, we even pick out her clothes the night before, but for some reason she couldn't wear what we picked out and she didn't want to wear anything else either. At that point I was ready to have her go to school in her Ariel nightgown. It took her seriously 45 minutes to calm down and pick out something completely different. I really am no help during this process because the devil took over my personality too.

So after a 45 minute battle of the wills, she finally gets dressed, eats a quick pop tart (no time for some real nutrition), some apple juice, and a kiss and a hug. I got into my car and left for work. She was calmed down and Alyssa took over and got her on the bus. Thank goodness for big sister who came to the rescue.

If I am even 1 minute late for work...it results in a talking. How crazy is that?

We always lay out the clothes the night before but that doesn't always help...there is still toothpaste flavours to decide upon, colour of glasses for their milk, what colour hair clips they should choose.....it's making me nuts already! My Mom tells me that it's pay back for what I did to her.

Do you need another brainwash book? Maya has taken to gagging on everything she decides to eat for breakfast. Good Luck on Tuesday!!
For real, a "talking to"?
