Last night at our Fire Family dinner we got money for clothes! And, I have come to discover Forever 21 and H and M!!! I am so, so happy! You know, except for the fact that I realized I have to add the cost of a surge protector to my new laptop budget. But, I'm going to ask around because I'm sure we know a geek who's got an extra.
Alex turned 10 on Saturday and at our dinner on Sunday there was a cake for her and a gift certificate to Limited Too. Dani and I made her breakfast in bed and Alex has always wanted one of those retardedly over-sized cards that are like, the size of oaktag, so we got her one of those, and then also Danielle found these soaps at a Pier One store that smell good and were on clearance, so we got Alex ten of those. I might steal one.
I was telling Craig about it tonight and he said if it comes down to it he'll buy one for me, but I don't think I need that. He let me change our shrink time to earlier so I can get home in time to watch Dancing With the Stars. We missed dinner tonight but it was worth it.
Also, he told me he's recommending Dani for shrinkage. I asked if he'll do it but he said no, she'll do better with a girl shrink and will only go once a week. How come if we're both girls I do better with a boy shrink? I forgot to ask that. Poor Danielle - all fucked up in the head.
Craig said I really need to do a better job controlling my temper and umm... I got mad and yelled at him. I know, the irony. But seriously! I get angry about so many different things and everyone's always saying I can't. When do *I* get to scream at people? When is it my turn? It's not fair. This year we were supposed to get me down to only going to shrinking once a week but I guess that's not going to happen any time soon.
All day today I kept seeing the assistant principal in the hallways between classes. Finally I asked him if he was stalking me. He laughed and said kind of - he was trying to save me from myself. So I told him I had NOTHING to do with that girl and that was just my old friends who, I can't really tell, but they're not really my good friends anymore. He told me he was glad to see I was getting more out of the harder classes than just a more thorough education.

After my mother died they kept trying to fix my anger as well. I had to go through it to come out the other side. As you likely need to.
My Alyssa turns 10 this month and LOVES Limited Too.
I wonder if I don't let her get angry often enough. She has an attitude for sure. I guess I don't mind her getting angry. I'm trying to teach her not to be so shitty and disrespectful to me all the time though.
hah, i love h&m! some day soon i'll have to go and get some new stuff because i dropped 15 pounds and all my pants are falling off my butt ... but i guess i'll have to come up with some money first, too.
controlling your temper ... oh, well ... there seems to be some unwritten law that who yells is in the wrong. you're just not taken seriously. in a kid this is regarded with a mild shake of the head and a shrug: “well, you know, she's always been a little wild ...", but once you grow up, people start turning their backs. pretty soon you're the "choleric", the "hothead", and people don't seem to want to deal with that.
anyway, i know it feels good to yell at someone now and then when you're frustrated, but it's always good to be in control and to know when you can yell and when you better shouldn't, like in the pricipals office. so getting a grip on that is probably good advice. but that doesn't mean you just have to swallow everything with a smile on your face. if you're in the right you should fight for your right - just don't lose your temper or you'll lose your audience. there are a lot of other ways to make your anger known.
