Another day another tantrum

Bet you think it's my two year old I am referencing in the blog title. Nope it's my 13 year old! After a week of rudeness she finally lost the privilege of the dance :( she's been struggling all week. Missing assignments, smarting off, staying up past her bedtime, oversleeping and in general being snotty. Today she pushed too far and I had to lay down the hammer :(.
She wanted to call her bio dad of course, in hopes he would sympathize and remove the consequences. No such luck, he told her to do her chores. He then had not much else to day. She finally headed to school, no iPod and a scowl on her face. Ugh! Teens!!

Amazingly I got moo to school on time:$ paid bills (boo!), played play dough and tidied some upstairs.

Last night was fun:) brad was home, the littles played wii (on the new wii that had to be gotten as the old one gave up the ghost), and we all had Pitts pizza (angelynn's fave),

Weather is finally improving:) dinner is in the crock and I'm happily planning to begin painting our inside! That is if I can survive another verbal assault from my tween :/.
Here's the recipe link for our dinner, super yummy!!
