Today was the first day of Spring break for Lena, so I planned, what I thought would be a fun day. We went to McDonald's for lunch then to the movie Nim's Island. Well, it didn't go as well as I had planned. I liked the movie, I thought it was really cute, but Lena kept wining at me that it was "boring", she kept squirming around and making me crazy. This is the first time she has done this, so I was getting a bit mad about half way through because she wouldn't stop. I was not about to leave a movie I had just spent $9 getting into. We are really poor this month and I stretched the budget in order to have money to do things this week. She continued to wine and cry all the way home, so I told her if she was going to act this way we wouldn't be doing anything else this week, and she had better stop before I got really mad. Well whe went on and on and pulled out the I don't love her card and I just lost it. I screamed at her to shut up. After that I felt somewhat bad, but I still didn't talk to her the rest of the way home, and it actually worked, she shut up. Wow, if I had known that those two little words would work like that I would have said it to her much sooner. Oh, I know, it won't work for long.
I wish they would do away with spring break, I mean come on people, school gets out here the end of May, can't we all just hang on a couple of more weeks?
Now I don't know what I'm going to do with her the rest of the week. Her ballet classes aren't going on either. Anybody HELP!
