Fathers day

Saturday Abby and I ran some errands. The mall was having childrens day to get ready for fair season. So we played some games. One was the nickle dash, which I don't know why they called it that because there was more than just nickles. Abby had a blast and came out with tons of candy and over $13 in change!

Today we took John out for breakfast and then I ran to work for a few hours. Then I picked Abby up and we went to the park and had ice cream so Dad could have some quiet time. Tonight we had dinner and then played some games. Now I am trying to get Abby to sleep.

Life has been so hectic lately! I worked over 12 hours just today! UGH! Plus Abby has had swimming lessons every night. The 3rd night she finally jumped off the diving board. WOO HOO! She is doing pretty well in swimming lessons and she loves to swim!

Hopefully it will be a quiet weekend so I can get some stuff done around here. I did do a new page for scrapping. They had a new embelleshments and such that I just loved. So this is what I came up with.

I think I need to change the name of my blog to "My Life with the demon child!"

She is driving me nuts! We are back to temper tantrums over everything! Crying over EVERYTHING! Everything is "Not Fair" "Your Mean!" What will it be like with she is a teenager! UGH!

Saturday morning we all went to garage sales. We gave her $3 to spend. Which she did rather quickly. She didn't do too bad the rest of that time. Then the plan was to go home and have lunch and then we were going to pick up her friend Mackinzie and take them both to the circus. We got Mackinzie and got to the circus and it down poured! We were soaked! The rain would just not let up. So we decided to leave and all go bowling instead. It was a lot of fun but Abby must have been getting tired because she was mad when she didn't get a pin, when she wasn't first and so on. Mackinzie is an extremely nice polite child. I wish Abby would behave like her! We bowled 2 games and then took Mackinzie home. The rest of the night and today has consisted of Abby whining, complaining and throwing a tantrum over everything. She has been in time out countless times and has lost her television. I am at my wits end! This better be a quick phase!

Tomorrow she starts her excellerated reading program and swimming lessons. So John will take her to the school for the reading program. I will pick her up at lunch, we will come home and have lunch. John will take her to Sherry's and then I will pick her up there and come home put on swimming suit and go to swimming lessons. This will be everyday for 2 weeks. She will be tired! I also have my yearly OB appt tomorrow. WOO HOO! NOT! Hopefully all goes well.

Well I better post bowling pics and head to bed!
