Those Poor Poor People

Well I figured since I sold some of Tylers smaller clothes and got the money I would head out to the store to pick up a few things we needed and get some ingredients for a few dinners. Well Kaitlyn had to "go potty" 3 times and barely even went the one time I did take her. Then was throwing her "Mary Monkey" around in the store so I gave her a warning and told her that Mary would be gone for the night if she did it again, since she was not being responsible or respectful of her toy. So I turned to get some cottage cheese and when I turn back, who is on the isle floor?!?!?! Right, MARY! So I picked her up and put her in my pocket. Kaitlyn FREAKED and threw a HUGE screaming tantrum the rest of the way through the grocery store and the entire time we had to stand in what seemed like the longest lines in the world at that moment! There were at least 17 people that looked at me like I had a rope around her neck and was making her do it. I just looked back at them and smiled. One guy even covered his ears she was screeching so loud... I felt bad but I wasnt about to give in because of some old guy in the checkout lane! Yeah right!

Anyway, that was fun!

The whole Mary thing wasnt the only issue yesterday... since Jon picked her up at school she was tantrumish and I think that was the last straw. She was upset about things that happened at school and in general was having a bad day. The kid seems to be getting more confused about things with the social worker coming to see her. Ugh... this whole school thing is rough on her and she doesnt understand why the other kids "dont want to play with her" or why "they dont want to talk to me..." I'm not there to see whats going on but I wish I was. I wish I was there to help her or could get some feedback from her teachers. They are regular PreK teachers and are not trained to look for what I need them to look for or to help her with what she needs help with and that annoys the living crap out of me! AHHHHHHHH!!!

Anyway, she ended up being very tired today, fell asleep in the car at like 5:30pm and then both kids went to bed early. I think she is getting sick again. I just wish I didnt feel so helpless sometimes.
