Grove Refugees!

morning started out at 9.30 with her coming and waking us up telling us her brother had colored in her yearbook- fine. sent little bro to his room..


i get up about 10. make her finish her laundry that was supposed to be (and she told me was) done on friday. i start checking email, browsing the web etc...

she comes and sits next to me, tells me (jokingly) to make her breakfast... i decline.. this happens for 10 minutes, i finally tell her to stop...

then she complains that she is bored (cause she is grounded for intentionally coming home late from friends houses on sunday and monday). I tell her if shes bored she can clean the kitchen or leave the room we were in. we go back and forth with this for a bit before i get tired and just then tell her she needs to clean the kitchen. she also asks if there is anything she can do for us to get priviledges back.. i say i dont know yet....

i repeat my order to clean the kitchen.. she says no. i say fine, go to your room.. she calls me stupid. i tell her for that shes not going to spend the night at my moms tomorrow night...this sets it all off, same old shit etc etc defying us etc etc. at one point i think i have her in her room and 5 minutes later she walks in the back door.. WTF?

at that point i get brooke out of bed.. brooke demands april turn over her new hoodie we bought her..she defies. i go to her to try to get it.. she balls up and trys to stop me.. so i pulls the scissors out of my pocket and threaten to cut it off of her.. she turns it over... i hand it to brooke- as i am doing so, she comes up and kicks me...

brooke comes down stairs and april starts in on her and calls her a name... next think i know brooke throws a cup of her water in her face...

i get her to her room again and she starts throwing things (not alot cause i had already cleaned it pretty much out- includeing the mattress for the top of her bunkbed. i sit there for a bit and then leave..... next thing i know shes throwing things again.. including at her (closed) window. Window of course is now broken, and shes got no screen in it cause she took care of that months ago....

i walk up.. look and say "oh. you broke your window.. nice" and walk back downstairs...

few minutes later she walks out breaks her glasses (300.00 frames mind you) and throws them at us, picks up her door and throws it down the stairs and defys me again to go back to her room.

after three or four times of physically carrying her to her room shes there for a bit and decides she wants a drink of water- she calmly walks out of her room. i go into the kitchen mainly to make sure she doesnt leave. i tell ehr to hurry and get back to her room, she says shes not going back to her room, i cant make her.. heh

i start walking toward her, and she throws the glass of water in MY face. I instinctively reach out and grabbed her hair (not hard but firm). i proceeded to walk her back to her room...

i think thats most of it. she also got pissed cause i wouldnt let her call her grand mother cause she was upset.....


sometime during all that fun she kicked me and broke up my big toe nail (ouch)


the whole time i never raised my voice or yelled at her.. the first time she kicked me without thinking i did swing my arm back and catch her upside the head.


she went to bed at 5.30

ive covered her window with a garbage back so the cats cant get out.. atleast now i will hear her if she tries to open it..
