As The Family Turns.....

I feel like I'm in a soap opera sometimes. Today I denied Karissa going to the fair with her friend. She has had 3 slumber parties in a row since school is out for the fair (yep, we do that here!) and she was starting to shut down from being so tired. She freaked out and told me that she hates me and she hates her life. I told her to go to her room and hate me there. Needless to say she is now grounded for.......until I feel like ungrounding her. Between her over-age temper tantrums and Katies hormones wacking out every now and then, I honestly wonder if I am going to survive with my sanity intact until they are in college. I love them to death but sometimes it is so much DRAMA! I saw a piece of flair on Facebook the other day that pretty much sums it up.........I love it when people ignore me and roll their eyes at me.......so I became a mother!
