I'll start this post off with the good stuff . . . like this fun layout for the 12 of 12 Challenge. I'm SO loving this challenge, as I rarely scrapbook this many photos at a time on a layout, not to mention I used it for my L.O.A.D. page today . . .

I crammed my whole to-do list into a few hours this morning, just so I could go to Bayleigh's Valentine's party at school. (She BEGGED me to come, before she hopped on the bus this morning.) The party went pretty well . . . lots of treats . . . a movie . . .

and Eli even got to participate!

When it was time to go, though, things really went downhill fast. Bayleigh decided to throw a MAJOR hissy, because she wanted to ride the bus home with grandma instead of going home with me. But I'd already told my mom that she was going home with me, so we really didn't have much of an option at that point. She dug in her heels, screamed and yelled, sobbed like she was dying, and embarrassed me to no end. Thankfully my friend Nicole was there and she helped me with Eli, while I literally drug Bayleigh to the car and wrestled her into the car seat. She kicked the back of my seat and screamed at me all the way home. Then she was strictly disciplined and I made her lay down and take a nap.

She's gonna miss out on those play dates every couple of days after school, for a while. Maybe someday she'll learn to control that little temper of hers . . .

Here's hoping!
