I think we have launched our family into the preteen years!!!!!
Yesterday was very interesting, to say the least!!!!
I am sitting at the computer and I hear a loud thump, the I hear Ysabella telling her sisters that is not a good idea(I think!)!!! I call Ysabella over and this is our conversation
Me: Why she is slamming doors?
Ysabella: I didn't slam the doors!
Me: What was that noise?
Ysabella: The bed broke............
Me: What????!!!!!!???? Sit right there!!!!!
Ysabella: I didn't know!!
Me: WHy did the bed break?
Ysabella: Because I was jumping on it.......
Me: WHAT??? I haven't I told you not to jump on the BED??!!???
Ysabella: I forgot!!!!! I am sorry!!!!
I get up and walk in the room and the wooden bed frame is broken and not easily fixed!!! I mean there is a piece of wood that splintered off and laying a few inched from the bed!!!
Then she turns to me and says:
Ysabella: I want to sleep on the floor!!(crying alot by now!!)
Me: That is not the point!!! YOU BROKE THE BED!!!!!
Ysabella: I don't care!!!
Me: of course you don't care, it's not your bed. It was mine when my grandmother gave it to me!!
Pete: It was old anyways.
Me: Soooooo!!!!! It was my grandmothers who is no longer here!!!!!! And Gran and Bill are coming. Where are they going to sleep now!?!?!?!?!
Ysabella: I don't know Vivianna's room! ( Vivianna has a twin bed!!)
Me: You are grounded from TV and computer for 2 days!!!!
From there you can imagine the conversation after that!!! And if you know Ysabella she is VERY dramatic and emotional!!!!!
Now I understand why my mother had only one child!!!!
I love my children, I reallllllyyyyyyy do!!!! But these next 15 years are going to be veryyyyyy CRAZY!!! I have 3 girls and I will have plenty of more stories to share!!!
