YOU’RE GROUNDED

4:30 this morning I woke up with Natalie in my arms, didn’t know how she got there or why but there she was. After not being able to fall back to sleep I finally asked her why she was out here and she said her belly hurt. I told her to go lay on the love seat and I got up to get her the bowl and a few more blankets. About 5 William joined the party and laid down with me. I think we all fell asleep for a little while then my alarm went off at 6:30. Natalie complained that she had to wait until 6:55 for me to wake up and I told her if she didn’t wake me up in the middle of the night then I could have gotten up with the alarm!

As I was waking up I told them they were both grounded and I would tell them their punishment later. Simply we need to come straight home from school and not stay to play at our friend’s house. William has practice tonight so we were doing this any way, now I can turn it into a punishment!

(Natalie and I went to the grocery store the other day and she asked if we could get chocolate soy milk. She doesn’t know its soy; she just knows it’s the only kind of premade chocolate milk I will buy for them. So we got it and it sat unopened and forgotten about all weekend.)

After finally waking up this morning I made the kids pancakes and remembered the soy chocolate milk. I got out cups and gave it to them. This is what my darling daughter had to say.

N: Yea Chocolate milk!
W: YEA
N: WOW this is what happens when we get grounded; we get chocolate milk for breakfast!
W: (giggle giggle) COOL
N: Wow lets do that again tonight so we can get grounded and have chocolate milk for breakfast again tomorrow!
M: YOU BETTER NOT!
N: Chocolate milk and chocolate chip pancakes, I LOVE BEING GROUNDED!


Who wants them to come live at your house??? I’m giving them away for FREE!
