My little spit fire just like me

My daughter &I are so much alike in personality that when her five year old mouth goes off all mouthy like SHE is the boss it makes me say out loud, "did I just say that..." And I realize its what I call two time out time. Where she gets her time out timer set and I need a time out from her. I'm 28 she is 5 and she doesn't need me screaming AT her like Old Man Riley yells at his dog. She's a human,  and not just any human MY PRINCESS who has this attitude because she needs help calming down in a time out from her five year old world as I sometimes need a break from my 28 year old world. But does 5year old know to take a break? No. And her identical to my mouth is my cue to help her. Not treat her like a dog. When I do help not hinder she'll be able to walk away someday when she is 28 because I taught her to time out from the situation until you are calm then come resolve issues in a Christian way, not as a woman raisin her dog,but future princess to be....my love......my clone....my mini me...who I want to succeed better than I did because I am giving her tools to do it. We fought tonight over cleaning her room and I yelled at her and didn't let her talk. After time out we are gonna cuddle up in bed as we are sitting together and show appreciation for the gift of each other since we aren't promised tomorrow.

Our handmade teacher appreciation gifts.

My 5 year old loved the student teacher so we painted an old flower pot with homemade chalkboard paint, wrote thanks for helping me "grow" and "bloom" in chalk then covered it with my fav-modge podge. Then the top we used acrylic painted a ruler. When it was  time for her to go, we used a seasonal plant. The teacher LOVED it said it was the best gift shed gotten. My daughter, Aerieannah, loved making it.

JOURNALING TO BE BETTER PARENT; HELP STATES LESSEN MURDER RATE

I recently started a journal. It has been so helpful. Not just in keeping my feelings in check but in proving my boyfriend wrong...I can say "No I swear, its in my journal..." Also my explosive anger episodes....not so much outbursts any more just scribbles. Which, keeps me out of trouble and me owing the kids money for saying bad words "a dime a word." So, feeling like you're going to pop some one's head, feeling like moving out on a LONG time relationship? Gonna flip out on your child for doing "that same thing  I said not to ten times in a row?" Run to the bathroom, bedroom...alone and journal. Trust me...hell it may make the murder rate go down.

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THOSE WHO MATTER

Ever sitting on the front porch and thinking of an old friend?? It happens for a reason....DROP THEM a NOTE. YOU may be the person they need to hear from...that one person who keeps them together.

Anna and Ernest | Wedding Celebration in Ajur-Wedding

Anna and Ernest | Wedding Celebration in Ajur-Wedding This is in russian, but you can read the beginning in English if you have Google Chrome. If not this is what it says:

 Anna and Ernest

The book - an endless source of inspiration that contains a vast mystery.

Wedding of Anna and Ernest - is a fascinating book that is read with delight, for one day.

When you open this book, guests moved to the fairy land, where after going through the door with the monograms of the bride and groom have become parties to the beautiful and moving ceremony.

And then, finding their names in the book volumes, hit the home library to a special dinner, and sitting under the shade of a round table, enjoyed three memorable dances, which gave them the main characters of the novel. 

 I LOVE the theme.... anyone else....
