Beat down

O.M.G! I am going to start with this...

So Lily got in trouble for lying...again! Over something stupid. Anyway, so I told her that she was going to get a spanking for lying and to go get a spoon (side note: my intentions were not to actually spank her with the spoon...more tap her. I just wanted her to be scared.) so she yells NO at me that she is not going to get a spoon. So I more firmly tell her to go get a spoon now. Now she is jumping around screaming no that she is not going to get one and she is not getting a spanking. So, she finally goes and gets a spoon. I tell her to turn around...she tells me no...lily turn around now...she backs away and tells me no. I tell her to come over here and turn around because if she makes me come get her she is in BIG trouble...she starts to run away from me...so I go after her, I grab her arm...she turns around and slaps me. She slapped me! OMG! My kid just slapped me. I lost my head...completely...I was completely out of my mind. I picked her up while she screamed like she was being murdered. I threw her on the bed and I was over top of her nose to nose and I told her "if you are EVER bold enough to put your hands on me again I beat your ass so bad you will think you got your ass kicked by a man"
Yes...I am a terrible mother :(

I feel horrible now but I cannot believe she slapped me. I ended up having to tell her dad because of course she got on the phone with him and played the wounded lily card. UGH...what a horrible way to end the day...over a lie...a stupid lie at that.

OK, on to happier items. We went to the church Christmas musical tonight. So since we were doing that and wouldn't be home I decided we would do fatty fat fat sonic tonight. We went to Sonic for dinner, and we are sitting there waiting for our food with the windows down. This huge brown thing goes flying across my windshield (on the inside). Want to know how fast I will abandon my children? I scream OMG its a bug and jump out and leave them all sitting there strapped into their seats. (I am full of bad mom stories tonight) Anyway at closer examination, it was not a bug. Lily gave me a flower and I sat it on my dashboard and it dried. The wind blew the dry flower across my dashboard. Boy was I embarrassed when I had to get back in the car and assure them it wasn't really a bug but a dried flower.

But the Christmas musical was nice. Only in middleburg can you go to a Christmas musical that has actual livestock in the church building. There were goats...they were so cute. The tiny one kept chewing on his lead, I was waiting for him to chew through his rope and make a break for it. They tried to do a live feed for the show, but apparently a transformer blew outside and we lost all audio and most of the lights. It was still good though even if the microphones didn't work.

So the kids came home to a nice surprise from "Willie/Santa"

They had these on sale. I was going to save them for Christmas...but...I didn't. They are excited about them though, so hopefully at night we are going to read from their books then talk about what they can write for their daily devotion.

 Just a few pictures from the zoo. I know I didn't show you any but the lion.

 This is why I am always late. This kid sleeps in...it would be so wonderful if IIIIII got to sleep in as well.

This was supposed to be a Christmas present but apparently I am not going to get their Christmas outfits anytime soon. So she got this now.

 I am going to wait out this week, but if I don't have anything by Friday I am going to get Lily something too.

Well have a good day. I love you! Goodnight.
