The 9 year old today at therapy was bored
I was on the phone as we waiting for FL to finish her session and she decided to start mimicking me
seriously -- who DOESN'T that piss off.
so I started off by making funny faces -- which eventually cracked her up.
finally
I got down on the floor
and she followed
and I moved into the full lotus position (I'm a big girl - but I'm bendy)
and then did some deep breathing (which she copied)
complete with OHMMMMMsss
and then did some stretches to the side
until she tipped over
MOM for the win
HA!
eventually - she got bored and started nosing through her sister's notebook
and found a note
written in 2 colors of marker
FL and her BFF writing to each other and FL offering the BFF all of her allowance to do her homework.
KK ratted FL out (at some point FL needs to kick her little sister's ratting ass -- someone needs to CodeRed her ass) and gave me the note
so
this has cost FL a week of internet
hours later - with crocodile tears FL tries to tell me this wasn't her note -- and I told her that I didn't believe her - the punishment stands -- and she was tearful --swearing that someone else just used the note and passed it back and forth with FL
this allowed me to discuss the fact that she has lied to me about something every single day since she walked through my door.
her argument that it wasn't EVERY single day eventually cracked us both up
"oh - not the days you were at the other foster house?"
sigh
so it's been a hell of a night
everyone is in trouble
KK ended the night by throwing a glass of water (plastic) in the sink so she's starting tomorrow in the hole on behavior as well.
and
we're going to watch the baby this weekend.
this is going to be a complete clusterfuck
I think they all Lie along the way. Some of the stuff is very creative ( good enough for Hollywood). Kids don't think we have got the tshirts. Hope your weekend goes well. Mine will be great and no twat will fuck it up, I have just got my cast of my leg after 12 weeks. Air to a skinny not so smelly leg.

Kids... they do the darnedest things... i love that you foiled the 9 year-old's attempts to drive you crazy. It is likely to be an interesting week-end...

Oh this made me giggle! It sucks, I know. It's all going to work out like its supposed to in the end. But i just had to laugh because my daughter pulled the same mimicking garbage at an appointment this week with me. I just made crazy and crazier faces and noises. She kept it up for a while before screeching "MAMMA! Stop! You're embarrassing me!"
