Well, the phrase I said I'd never use got used, and it's 100% true. As you know we've been having some trouble with DQ and BB fighting. In fact, yesterday they spent just about their whole day alone in their rooms. Being the naive mom that I am I figured that would have taught them a lesson. NOPE!!! This morning started out ok, a little rocky but not too bad. I did however warn them with a very stiff punishment. A few tiffs later the warning was repeated as I really did not want to enforce the punishment I had laid out. Finally at Wal-Mart of all places the big fight happened. I mean BIG!! If I could have pulled up the floor and crawled in I might have done just that. Instead I found myself with red cheeks and probably steam coming out of my ears saying what I never thought I'd say.....
"That's it! We are not going to the beach for the weekend, we are staying home, and you are sitting in your rooms alone for the whole entire weekend. And believe me when I say this is hurting me more than it is hurting you and that's not fair!!!"
This really is hurting me, I wanted to go to the beach. Now I'm sitting here pouting about having to be a responsible parent and "stick to my guns" as hubby puts it. Well guess what? I don't wanna!! I wanna go to the beach!!
I think I'll go pout for awhile now,

I feel your pain sister. Literally. Try have 3 kids screaming at you, at each other, and anyone else who will listen. = ) Then have your 3 year old tell you "Sorry doesn't cut the cheese" when you yell at him by mistake and apologize. Smile- you are not alone. The beach isn't going any where- unfortunately, neither are you.
Love ya.
Why in the world did you pull the beach trip?? Whatever were you thinking? You should have said something like, "we're going to the beach and you can't go outside, you have to stay in the house"...or, "you have to clean Grandma's house ONCE WE GET TO THE BEACH"...goofball! We're around all weekend if you want to leave them in their rooms and meet at the end of the driveway.
