Big Words

So I have been in Los Angeles for the last 4 days and nights. This was for training for the new job I have taken. I am not sure if any of you have ever traveled for a job, but it sucks. I made it home in time for Krystn's school carnival last night. I surprised her and Tom when I walked into the room. It made her cry. I think she missed me. Well, so when we got home we sat down and had dinner. Just Talking and laughing and the dog chasing the cats and barking and Vlad jumping on the table.....I am so glad I am home! So after dinner I crawled into our California King Size bed and grabbed finger nail polish and Krystn. I took her old polish off and repainted her fingers. I then painted my toes and nails (and Toms, but he made me take it off!). Once I got done Krystn asked to see my toes and I showed her. She goes, "Impressive." and nods her head. It was funny. I just look at her. She goes, "That means I didn't think you could make it look that nice." I lost it! I told her I knew what it ment, and thanks alot for the encouragement. I just thought it was cute.

Tattle Tale

So this morning me and my little girl (Oh she is not little anymore, "I'm 10 MOM!") woke up at 4:40am. I have been fixing her computer all morning because she got some virus's...that is neither here nor there. Anyways, we have hung out all morning while Thomas slept in. It was very nice. I am not sure if all kids are tattle tales on their parents, but she sure is! Anything I do, she calls grandma and tattles on me. Even if it is nothing big, she still does. This morning she was tattleing on me for something, again not a big deal cause see, I already forgot. It brought back the memory of when she was around 5 and called and tattled. You see, she loved to climb under my bed and lay with the cats. Well, she found a book that I had on my nightstand that fell halfway under my bed (probably from the cats knocking it off the nightstand). Well, she proceeded to call Grandma and told grandma "Mom has a book under her bed with a naked woman on it." (sorry laughing as I write this.) So my mother freaks out and tells her to bring the phone to me. Then she proceeds to tell me how irresponsible I am for having that kinda trash laying around for her to find, and blah blah blah. I am trying to explain I do not have crap like that. I told my wonderful daughter, who now got me in trouble, to go grab the book she was talking about and bring it to me. She brings me my greek mythology book. And sure enough, there is a half naked picture of a ladie (showing her ONE BOOB) to me and I am hysterically laughing! I explained to my mom what it was and even read her some of it so she would believe me (she lived 400 miles away, or I am sure she would of came over and checked). So these kind of things have happened over and over, because she thinks that she knows everything! Plus, I think she likes it when grandma gets mad at me sometimes, because then she is not the only one being yelled at. My mom, has picked it up over the years and just tells her to 1. stop going through your moms stuff or 2. it isn't any of your business (MYOB). Anytime she tattles on me it makes me laugh. Cause most of the time it is something that is so funny that she said something about it, that it makes it even better! Like, "Grandma, I am soooooooo hungry. Mom NEVER feeds me!" (laughing again) Krystn is by NO MEANS a skinny girl. She wastes food, so she is not allowed in the kitchen unless she asks. So when I say no, wait til lunch or no, wait til I cook she gets upset. She has gotten alot better since we have made her ask to go get food, and it also gives us the ability to make sure what she is eating is not 'popcorn and ramen noodles'. It was so bad for awhile even my best friend would call my mom and go "Linda-Mom, Renee wont feed me. I am sooooooo hungry." Once Krystn saw what she was doing, and I wasn't budging on the subject it has started to cease. Now we do think she doesn't have the ability to know when she is full. She will eat until she throws up if we let her, and sometimes still complain she is hungry. By limiting her diet, and making her conscious of what she is eating, her weight is starting to come down some. So if your child tattles on you to your parents, know there is someone else out there who knows the feeling.
