I learned that in spanish class when I was in high school. Of course I learned it in spanish and I still remember how to say it in spanish, I am just not sure how to type it.
Anastasia has had a tough time keeping her mouth closed these days. To the extent she has completely pissed off the assistant principle and a few teachers. She argues with everyone. Disrespects most everyone and generally has a bad attitude.
Nothing is different in our lives. Nothing has changed. Nothing new has started. So why, why is she acting out like this?
She got to bite into a bar of soap last night for cursing and yelling. I am not happy about it, although what else can I do? I tried the nice talks, the mean talks, yelling, spanking, grounding and just about everything else.
She has spring break coming up, maybe she just needs a break from school.

Ok, I am laughing my butt off right now! Emma has also gone over the deep end, and we now have CPS involved in our lives. SHe got pissed off at us because of her chores and the fact that we took away all of her activities until she changed her attitude, and she made false accustions and said them to the Guidance Counselor at school. Maybe it’s being 10, maybe it’s that whole hormonal thing - who knows! I feel for you though, just remember to breathe in through your mouth, out through your nose, stick to your guns, and laugh when it is all done :).
