I have been swamped with new clients, Anastasia flooding a bathroom and being out of school on spring break and a bunch of other things that have decided to elude my memory at this point in the middle of the night.
So, I will be back writing soon, till then, don’t let your little ones experiment with q-tips, a wad of toilet paper and a toilet bowl, it’s just not worth the $200 plumber bill. o.O
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.
I have been trying to get this blog and keep it updated although I have been pretty busy. Working for myself in this economy is NOT easy. And since I am the only provider for Anastasia, if I am not making money, no one else is for us.
So, I hope you bare with me while I work my butt off trying to make some money to get my daughter and I ahead in the world.
Thanks.
So I am pretty organized. At least I would like to think I am. Although since moving to Arizona I feel like I have not been organized at all.
Starting a business is hard enough, it’s even harder when I can’t get organized. I came across a piece of software today that seems like it will really help. Not only can I organize my business projects, I can even organize Anastasia’s chores and when she does them.
It was originally produced for programmers to organize their program creation tasks. I downloaded it today and I am so happy with it that I decided to share with you about it.
The program is called ToDoList 5.6. It is free. Here is the page for it: ToDoList 5.6
Integrity is defined as:
Have you taught your child what integrity is?
Anastasia was doing her homework the other day when she asked me what integrity was. I questioned the fact she didn’t know what integrity was. Surely I taught her integrity.
I guess I did not.
I realized in that moment without the knowledge of why she follows a path of good swaying away from bad, she doesn’t know why she is doing it. I have spent the last few days showing her examples and explaining how my integrity teaches me right from wrong and doing wrong on to others.
Here is homework for you: Does your child know what integrity is? Ask them to explain it to you.
I am not a teacher in any stretch of an imagination and I barely know what I am doing half the time. I just thought if this stunned me, it may stun some other parents out there.
