Parent commitee meeting today. We are learning how to make professional floral arrangements! Next month we are going to learn cake decorating. I am so excited about this!
I don't know what is going on with Riley lately but she is extra needy. Whiny. Whatever. Like seperation anxiety? When she wakes up in the morning she is fine but as soon as I tell her she is going to school she starts crying and being difficult. She will sit down and say she can't stand or walk because her legs are broke. So instead of telling her we are going to school I will just say we are going for a ride. This only delays the unwanted reaction. As far as I know she hasn't been having problems with anyone at school. But I'm thinking it's not really school that is the problem. When we are at home she wants all of my attention 100% of the time. If I'm busy doing osmething else (dishes, laundry, whatever) she will do the, "Hey mom. Look at me. Look at me mom. Mom look at this. Look what I can do." So I turn to look and she does something completely...I don't even know, like rolling a car across the floor. Then I say something like OK good job and go back back to what I was doing and she does it all over again. I think it's because I have been having to work more nights the past couple weeks so I haven't been spending as much time with her. This makes me feel like shit but what am I supposed to do? I have to work. Working nights is only temporary. SHoudln't last more than another couple weeks. I try to make our time together as special as possible but I do still have to do stuff that takes my attention away from her. ROCK/me/HARDPLACE
