I don't have any remarkable change in scenery here. Rosie continues to struggle greatly...without any positive strides....
so I decided to share my smile....My little victory....you may not even find it amusing but it makes me smile and makes some unbearable moments...bearable for me...
My kids love love love to bully me. They truly feel that the best way to get their needs met is to force my hand....So now whenever they bully...I sing that fantastic oldies song...."you don't own me" I sing it with gusto and all of the out of tune muster I can get together...I sing whole heartedly and as cheerfully as I can possibly be...."you don't own me....(mutter some other words that I don't know)...don't tell me what to do...don't tell me what to say...please don't try change me....you don't own me..." and on I go repeating the words and I sing with gusto....generally giggles ensue...and I help things move along...and they think it was their idea...winner winner chicken dinner!
Okay, that is my story and I am sticking to it!
Be Well, Queenie

oh how fun!! and besides changing their focus, it also lets them see you still smiling and happy even though they were "bad". excellent!!
That's adorable. I love it!
That is great!!!! J decided she loves Fergie's song "Big Girls Don't Cry". I don't remember all the lines but one of them is "It's personal, between myself & I. We've got some straightening out to do." So when she's really struggling I'll put this song on and she sings loud and clear and it makes me feel so much better because it's coming out of her mouth that she has some straightening out to do between myself & I. Even if she doesn't understand how I'm taking it. ;-)
