(no subject)
So... today I went to the park, kids have been horrid all day, probably not helped by my current inability to deal with stress.
Had a nice talk with the river, got a rose scent novena to use for my father, and a dozen roses for the family altar. Will perhaps write a bit about the park expedition later.
Just now, I am back from my second large excursion. Trav, Jess, and I went to the store as Athena tried to choke herself with her hands when she got sent to her room and grounded from her DS... Jess and I were rather stressed out after all that... and my mom had been called in addition to all of us taking care of her.
I'm not very pleased, and bought far more chocolate than I should have. Picked up a bunch of bittersweet chocolate bars... Oh my gods...
First she back talked Adam when he was trying to get her to help pick up the living room, since everyone trashed it again... not just a bit... she got real bad, repetitive, and refused to just simply go to her room for a bit... so it had escalated to the "no DS" being instituted...
I'm still in shock she tried to do that over not getting to play her DS for a couple weeks. She wasn't even grounded from everything, just the DS... but noooo... Like I told my mom, I'm glad there aren't any strings or anything in the kids' room... if she can work up to that state, goodness knows what she'd do. And when she was calm enough to talk after, she admitted scaring herself.
Oh gods did mom give her a talking to... I'm not sure which lecture was worse, mine or hers........
Hazelnut and Currant bittersweet... Raspberry bittersweet... Espresso bittersweet... No, there was no plain old bittersweet... That's what I wanted... x_x
Goruden: -_- I'm glad the chocolate shop was closed... Chocoholic... And don't think I didn't notice you snuck in coffee... I still remember when you brought home samples of 1/2 their flavors a few years ago.
Guilty as charged. -_-
*sighs* I don't know why she has to choose now, of all times, to act up like that. All over not getting her way, and not liking taking some responsibility for the messes that she makes (though the living room isn't all her mess, only partially). Mom says BJ and I tried the holding the breath thing, and that she wouldn't be able to do any lasting damage with her own hands... but it's still not something I can take right now...
And what's even worse is that it wasn't all that long after coming home from meditating in my spot by the river, trying to calm down enough not to go Psycho Bitch on anyone...
