My children have had enough Halloween candy already. ENOUGH. This day, this week… they are on my nerves.
Sadie bit another child at preschool unprovoked. Or I should say, she bit the same little boy for the fifth time in about as many weeks. They STILL haven’t kicked her out of school, so we just went ahead and dropped out. I can’t keep sending my kid up there to beat the crap out of other kids and I can’t control what she does when she’s not with me… so what else can I do?
Sadie literally stood in between my legs while I attempted to make lunch today and only left long enough to bite her sister. I was a little excited for a chance to discipline her for biting and since Time Out is her very favorite place to go, I dabbed a little Tabasco on her tongue.
Sadie: WAHHHH!
Me: Do you like that? Do you want some more?
Sadie: *stops crying* Yeah.
Me: *starts crying*
In the meantime, Emma has bitten into a glow stick from last night’s carnival. When I started helping her rinse her mouth, Sadie took the opportunity to grab a fistful of coffee grounds. Guess she was coming down from her high fructose corn syrup buzz and needed a little caffeine to help push her through until nap time.
Seriously? Make it stop.
Is it bad that I bust out in giggles at the stuff that makes you bust out in tears? The Tabasco soundbyte was priceless. I have wanted to try using that with my 4 year old, but my husband was all skittish about it. I settled for lemon juice instead. 😉
It must be holiday hysteria taking over all the kids. I met two friends at the part yesterday and they both offered to sell me their children. It's been a rough week here in TN, too, I guess.
You should just get a babysitter, fly up here, and come to my Halloween party. Not convinced?!? One word…keg. (No seriously, I'm a grown up.)
You poor thing!! I think you need to escape the house sometime this weekend and just have some you time. Leave the kiddos with Zeb.
You just might have to up the anty on Sadie – touch a jalapeno on her tongue!!
