My son had a huge tantrum this morning.
HUGE.
I don’t have it in me to describe the details.
I’m exhausted, my stomach is tied in stress knots and my eyes are red from sobbing.
Same crap, different day.
I let my husband take my morning to sleep in because I was wide awake at 5:15 a.m.
And a tantrum is what I got for that.
Oh joy.
Here are the very bad drawings I scribbled out to illustrate two house rules that were broken today:
And here is the reward chart of the hour (also desperate and poorly done, but what can I say? Drawing isn’t my thing.):
We skipped to step two so that the little boy could get some grub in the tum before needing the calm for steps one, three, four and five.
For step one, it helped for me to tell him which colors to pick up first, second, etc. He was paralyzed by the task until I did that.
He eventually finished everything and even gave me a hug at the end.
He made all the check marks and drew the ovals on the computer monitor to represent the river rock background image on his screen.
Now he’s playing some ridiculous game from Miniclip, a site I absolutely hate and try my best to censor.
I absolutely will not let him play any games with images of real people in them – particularly U.S Presidents – Republicans, Democrats, whatever.
Those games just bother me – especially the one that shows Obama with a machine gun shooting up aliens. So disrespectful. Grrrrr!
I don’t have it together enough to write a really great post today, so this will have to do.
Gotta go trade my jammies for some clothes and run to Home Depot this morning.
Our microwave blew up this week and we’re a bunch of big babies without it. 😦
See you tomorrow?
Happy Saturday. 🙂
