Kind of a blah day today. Kids had cabin fever I think. But I mentioned to Emma going to get McD’s for lunch and it was a no-go. But I heard a lot of whining and saw a lot of pouting. Up until about 2 weeks ago Lexi was getting pretty good at these pouting spells where she would go in the kitchen and lay down on the rug and get on her knees and put her head down on the ground and pout. I have been trying to put a stop to that recently (yes, we spank after they get explained why they are getting spanked, not just random swatting). She starts to get down on her knee now and I say, Lexi, don’t you lay down and pout and she gets up real quick. She usually continues to cry some but at least she’s not throwing herself down places and crying.
When Scott got home from work I took off to the gym and he took the kids to his Mom’s for dinner after Lexi woke up from her nap. She was still down when I left. They are supposed to be bringing me some food home. So the house is really quiet now. I straightened up a little but now I just want to lay down somewhere. But I always feel like I have to be doing something when the kids are not here. Like I need to take advantage of the house being empty to do some chore I always say I can’t do when they are here. Right now I think that might hanging Emma’s clothes up. Ugh, I’m going, I’m going…
