A Virgin No More.....
Yesterday, I was told Karlee did not take a nap at school when I picked her up! Should have been a huge warning sign! We then go to Wal-mart for a classmates birthday gift. She found a little wonder pet phone she liked while I was looking around. Well, she loved the phone and she held it as we shopped! She kept saying "this mine" I would tell her no. Well when we proceeded to the check out I told her she had to put it back... and all hell broke out! You BTDT mothers laugh all you want but this was the first time I have been so humiliated I could have just died! It as not pretty at all, she screamed, hit me even all they way to the check out and beyond! I could not get her out of the cart! The older man at the door tried to help me by giving her some stickers. That quieted her down for about 2 seconds!
Once I reached the car, she bucked, kicked and squirmed so bad it took me 10 minutes to get her in the car seat! I am mortified at this point, people are staring and my kid is freaking out! At this point she has been creaming throwing fit for about 15 minutes! I drive home while she is kicking the back of the seat screaming "I want my phone" "stop car momma" "Hold me"! Meanwhile, I call Duane to let him hear what I am dealing with! He can't believe his ears! His sweet angle never does anything like that with him! I was in total shock and disbelief! I go to Sonic and get me a Diet Dr. Pepper...she is still crying and throwing fit! I get home put her in her crib and go out side and have a cigarette! My client shows up and she's still crying! Client thinks it's funny! But I was stressed to the max! Never in my life have I seen a child behave that way! After an 30 min or so I take her out of the crib, tell he mommy loves her, her behavior is not acceptable bla bla bla and she was an angel the rest of the day! This fit lasted almost an HOUR!
Let's hope she gets a nap today! I can't handle a repeat of yesterday! And the kicker.... this morning in the car she asked for that damn phone and said she'd be nice! She's a smart cookie!!!
