Today is a good day.. I've things to do and errands to run. I have no idea why I'm sitting here other than this is the first chance I've had to have a hot cup of coffee. I believe I'll do that and wish you all a good day too.

Perhaps I'll have time and topics to write about later. I think it's hard to go back to writing about those topics that interest ME.. instead of kiddo journal.

On that topic.. let me add so I remember... The mother's mother couldn't have the Kiddo over on Saturday. Which means the Kiddo's mother wouldn't be able to see her on Saturday.. so she suggested to my son that there is a carnival in town.

Before anyone thinks ill toward her other grandmother.. please keep in mind, it's not nor should it be her responsibility to make sure a mother gets visitation with her daughter. They have a life to live and shouldn't have to drop everything. They got put in that position because my son was asked an unexpected question... who would he authorize the kiddo leaving with so she could visit her mother. He named the Kiddo's aunt.. which kindof put her on the hook to taxi for the mother and the kiddo.. not her job, not her responsibility.

He took them to said carnival and as he told me.. got robbed. HUH??? Tickets are ten bucks for ten tickets and it takes for to five tickets to ride a ride. Tell me those people aren't making some money! I know they have considerable expenses though.

Anyway, he spent the rest of the weekend with the Kiddo at home and this morning I had to bath her so she was really moody about getting up fifteen minutes early. I finally picked her up and put her in the tub clothes and all. At some point it was as if she was ready to quit having the tantrum but now felt obligated to keep going as if she MIGHT win.

That said, she was bathed, hair washed, dried, and combed.. teeth brushed and dressed within 25 minutes and filled with hugs and smiles. Success!! She turned herself around. I am sure getting dumped into the tub, clothes and all might have helped?

OH man do I know what you went through with kiddo. Many times when my Dani (now 37) was around 4yrs old, had to dump her clothes & all in the tub. Another problem was her waist long hair that no matter how gentle I was, she would scream when I brushed it. One day i'd finally had it and cut the 2ft pony tail off. After that I never had any problems with her or her hair again. LOL

Many }}}HUGS{{{ :)

Ya know, it sure in the heck didn't HURT her! Maybe sometimes we have to do what we've done, such as this, to get a point across! Then you gave her huggs and kisses ... good job! Grandparenting isn't always a cup of tea!! {{huggz!!}}
