Chaos in Courtland continues. I'm quite ticked off right now. It is 2pm and I have cleaned the entire kitchen, given Josh a bath after a night time accident, stripped beds, done 3 loads of laundry and did 45 minutes on the treadmill and what have my girls done: NOTHING! It took me 4 times to get Chey out of the bed at 11 only for her to go back to sleep on the couch until 2pm. I am sick of this.
The cell phone and the XBox are gone indefinitely. Even though she is supposed to leave the cell phone in the kitchen after 8pm every night, she has conveniently "forgotten" the past few nights. Texts after midnight are why she is getting no sleep. Apparently my threats have not been taken seriously. I'm done with threats, time for action. I'm heading out to cut the grass and the girls will be out there picking up every single stick in our yard. Then they will clean out the pantry.
Apparently, I also need to let her friends here know I am not playing as well. I will turn her cell phone back on and respond to every single text letting them know she is grounded and when she gets her phone back there are to be no texts/calls after 10pm and I DO read her texts, so they need to remember that before they type.
Her birthday party is next weekend and I even went as far as to put House Rules on her invitation that stated "No Profanity". When I was younger I NEVER would have cussed in front of an adult. How sad is it that I can't expect the same respect now. I may not be able to expect it, but I WILL demand it!
Oh and one more thing. Dogs are like kids, I like mine but don't have to like yours. I don't let my kid to crap in your yard, don't let your dog crap in mine! Stupid neighbors.
