NOT lovin' the (step)Mom gig...

So, Madeline is in detention for lunch/recess hours this week because she and two other little boys collaborated on a note that was very inappropriate and mean and they gave it to a little girl in their class. 

This is the same little girl Maddie and I had a big talk about on Saturday because her mom had told me she was having a hard time with kids being mean to her.  Maddie had assured me that she would be her "best friend" this week to help her feel better.

**where is that grumpy snarly icon when I need it?**

So, after a visit to the principal's office and detention for this whole week she's ALSO in hot water here at home...she's grounded until Monday.  Unfortunately this is the week we had a million great activities planned.  So now not only is SHE grumpy, but I'm grumpy.  But, learning this lesson is more important than the activities we had planned so I will suffer through the week...and pray for lots of sunshine so at the very least Bella and I can spend time outside in the yard playing while miss trouble is doing extra chores!
