The Trip

I have just about finished the planning for the spring break trip. 3 girls on the road for thousands and thousands of miles...literally.

I need to cook some more for the hubby before I go.

The hotels are 80% booked.

I am taking the girls to Graceland, Atlanta (the zoo, aquarium, CNN, et all), to see the MLK landmarks in Birmingham, and to see the civil war cemetery in Vicksburg.

It is going to be a big big trip.

I called her a meanie and felt good about it

The girls got into a fight today. I decided to try something new. I made each of them write down what the other one did to them and then what they did to the other one. I told them that everybody has conflict but that certain things elevate conflict and certain things cool things down. Then I had them choose eachothers punishment. Then I gave them the punishment that they came up with to themselves instead of their sister.

HA! Mama is tricky!

The best line of it all was the little one, when describing what she did to the older one:

"I called her a meanie AND FELT GOOD ABOUT IT"

Sweet.
