HELP ME!!!
I have no idea what to do. Ali has been on this kick pretty much since Matt came home from the MTC the first time where she all of a sudden didn't want to go to school. Mind you this is coming from my daughter who in kindergarten when she was throwing up was crying TO GO to school. I thought maybe it was because Matt was at home with me and she wanted to stay with us because she thought we did lot's of fun things while she was at school. I don't think that's true anymore. Monday she didn't go to school because she honest to goodness was sick. Her nose was all stuffed she had a wicked cough and her eyes were all gooey. So, I think ok this time she really is sick I'll let her watch T.V. while she rests so she doesn't go crazy and I can accomplish some things. Bad idea. Now today is Wednesday and she's throwing a huge fit to stay home again. Let me include the fact this fit started last night. She was a boobing about how sick she was and she knew she wouldn't be able to go to school tomorrow. This morning the dramatics start, holy cow did she put on a good show. I say fine you can stay home from school today but you are staying on the couch not watching T.V., not playing with your brother, not really doing anything. At first she is fine with this. The reason is fine with this is because she thinks I'm a push over. That eventually I will give in and she'll be doing exactly what she wants. Well by 8:45 I haven't given in and she starts getting bored. She looks at me and says, "I want to go to school mom." UGH!!! are you kidding me what am I suppose to do with this. So, I say no you are staying home remember your very sick. The whole time I'm replaying the dramatics in my head from last night and from about and hour and a half ago. She goes at it again, I'm so bored, I need to go to school, I wanna be with my friends, why are you doing this. So, here I am with my sick daughter on the couch whimpering about how I'm not letting her go to school, and she's so bored and can't take it anymore. I'm left wondering did I make the right decision?

well its a process that kids start early about telling little white lies. then you get really confused as to, are they really sick. i dont want to be a bad mom and not believe them or send them to school sick. and it only continues to get way more fun!!! love to all.
OMG.. Your blog is adorable! Way better than mine, and I sure do miss alis little fits...to funny! and Chase is so big I can't believe it!
DEBORAH HI!!!! I was so glad to spot your blog. Sorry, I don't have any advice regarding Ali just yet, I do however want to make a comment on the fabulous red t-shirt that she is wearing in one of the pictures you posted. What does Garth think about that... I'm surprised he would let her wear it. JUST KIDDING:) Go UTES!
Ok - why did I not know you had a blog? I found it from my sitemeter, someone clicked on my blog from yours. Anyway, good to find you!
I think you did the right thing by keeping Ali at home and NOT letting her do anything. That's what we did to Gunnar when he was sick and now he knows that staying home sick is not fun and if you're not really that sick you had better get your butt to school. Hopefully she learned her lesson and will only feel the need to stay home when she's really sick. Gunnar is pretty dramatic most of the time. Wish you guys were closer!!! But now that I found you, I can feel like I can keep caught up with you at least!
So, I just scrolled down a bit and realized you just barely started your blog and that' probably why I haven't known about it yet! :) Duh! You did a fantabulous job setting it up. I found a new template I wanted to use for mine, but haven't been able to get it to work because of some widget things - have no clue what that means!
