So, this post is going to be about my girls. (as many are!)

You can home from school and I could tell the minute you got off that yellow bus that something was wrong. You were not quite yourself. You really have not been this whole week, but today was different. The air was thick...the world was quiet.

The MUSIC stopped.

We walked inside the warm house (as it was snowing off and on all day but no accumulation) and you were talking about me not being able to see what was in your folder. I thought it was a Christmas gift for Dad and I, since you said he couldn't look when I suggested that he help you with it. We ordered you upstairs to take care of it. You said something about it having to stay in there until Monday... This made us look at each other, your Dad and I and I think it hit us both at the same time...Your BEHAVIOR Chart.




We all moved on. Her Dad and I, although shocked, moved on. It really is no big deal, we make a mistake and we learned - all good, right!

Well, tell that to a sensitive five year old who spent the rest of the night in tears because of this consequence to her actions. She had a hard time getting to sleep because it was bothering her so much. As I said, my poor girl! I tried to tell her that it was a lesson and we learned from it. I tried to sing "Let it Go" to her and told her to follow Elsa's advice here.
She woke up this morning still harboring her feelings for her mistake.
This was one tough lesson to learn, I guess, for her.

Lessons learned.
Plus, it's almost time for the Big Guy to come down the Chimney! Last day of school/last day of work for Hubby and I and we are in operation tie up the lose ends!
