So this was my "Thanksgiving"

I don't even know where to start... And as I start... I get "that text". Hahaha, be right back.

I might get sidetracked here with a phone call momentarily. Which I should actually put off for about 15-20 minutes so I can deal with my two younger kids, and getting them off to bed.

Which is one of the reasons I wanted to blog today.

I am noticing my one and only lovely daughter, whom I love with all of my heart, seems to like to push my buttons and talk to me like I am her worst enemy.

As hard as I try with her, she always finds ways to make our relationship almost unbearable some days. For instance, the other night she had permission to sleep at her Aunt T's house.... To make a long story short, her and her cousin Sam, went off to the other side of the city, came in late, and proceeded to get high at her Aunts house, and quite possibly IN her Aunts house.

So ensued the punishment, and in turn a fight between her and I. And it verbally gets out of control. She swears and yells, demeans and bullies. She has the mouth of a 45 year old hardened male prisoner. And quite honestly she brings me to tears far too many times that I care to admit to.

And it may be T.M.I. but she is having a 'visitor' of sorts right now. And she does become extremely moody around 'this time of the month'.

Anyways.... she wants her cell phone back. And she had her cable box and xbox taken away as well. I begrudgingly gave back the xbox after she seriously cleaned her room up. Like.... SERIOUSLY cleaned her room up.

So today Sam was over, and Anika wanted her phone. I told her no, several times, because she asked several times, and then started with her name calling and rudeness. So after being told, don't ask for it again until I give it back, several hours later she tries again. When I tell her to give me the charger, I will charge the phone for her, she automatically flips out and immediately says "I hate you" three times, and tells me to shut up, I never listen to her.

I am so tired of this behaviour. She clearly stated to me today "I don't just talk to you like this when anyone else is around, I talk to you like this all the time" in response to me telling her NOT to talk to me in the manner that she was just because Sam was here.

So I send her to her room. And she goes downstairs, makes a bowl of mashed potatoes and sits in the living room and eats.... I remind her a few minutes later why I sent her to her room, and she said, If I am starving, clearly I should eat. Now by NO MEANS is my daughter starving. EVER. She went off with some more verbal crap....

SIGH!!! I need more phone time with my fellah. Whom I have briefly put off to get them off to bed.

Which brings me to the second reason why I wanted to blog. I spent the night with him last night. I went to his place.... obviously as it is FAR too soon for him to meet the kids. Although I went back to when we started talking. It's almost been a month. But it feels like a LOT longer than that.

So I got home around lunch today. And I think we have spent all but 2 hours on the phone since I have been home. Which led to his current text, of whats up stranger. I asked him if he is sick of me yet.... No.

I thought for some reason, last night was a disaster. I apparently, am wrong. Because if it was, he most certainly wouldn't of been on my phone all day since I've been home.

And quite honestly.... if all goes well...I am hoping to sneak in a visit with him tomorrow.
