Those little ******** brats!
Really.
Morgan and Matt.
I babysat for them again today and they both, combined, threw six temper tantrums. Five of which were thrown by Matt. Most of which included the whole package of kicking and screaming.
Fuunn.
The first really big one was the third one....
Neither of them wanted to brush their teeth. "Morgan first." "No, Matthew first." "NO! Morgan first!" I was getting frustrated with the whole back and forth thing so I finally told Morgan that if she brushed her teeth first I'd read her book first since they both get their own books. Matt erupted in a temper tantrum. "I WANNA GO FIRST!" He screeched. Whoooaa. Didn't you just want Morgan to go first? Kids... He started bawling and slamming his fists and feet against the mattress as I brushed Morgan's teeth. I was almost smiling. Not that it was funny, maybe it was, but it was just so awkward. I told him to come brush his teeth. "No!" My god. Didn't you want to go?! "Please come brush your teeth Matthew." I bargain a little with him and he reluctantly agrees and takes the brush from me and brushes his own teeth. So now it's time for books. The subject I've been dreading.
"Morgan can I read Matthew's book first?"
"No!"
"But he's crying..."
"Noo." Now she's crying.
Sigh.
Okay, time for reinforcements.
I call up their mom!
"Hello? Kathy? It's Julie."
"Oh hey Julie, what's up?"
"Well, I have a problem. Matthew and Morgan are fighting over who reads their book first and Matthew threw two temper tantrums."
"Oh okay. Tell them that Mommy is very disappointed in them and that there is no book for tonight since their behaved badly."
Douh.
Why didn't I think of that?
Matt throws another tantrum because there's no book. Morgan is a sweet girl and goes to bed when asked. I bargain with Matt. Either bed or time out. He chooses bed. Smart boy.
They gave me five dollars extra for my troubles. Hah.
We're choosing clubs today and tomorrow in school. Rachel and I decided to quardinate clubs with help from our seventh grade friend, Hannah. Rachel wants to do Cricket and Cartoon Watching club. Now, according to Rachel's sister Margery, Rachel already sits in front of the TV 24/7 and watches cartoons so I don't see the point of her doing it on school time. So I dominate with my OCD controlling ways and make her put down jewelry making as number one.
Yay for me.
I love Mr. Lee. He gives us candy during class. <3
"really complicated and multi-faceted"
Faceted. That's a vocab word.
That's a quote from Cara's xanga if you were wondering.
PROOF!
I do read it.

See, if you had invited me like we planned, then I could have read one of the books, and they'd both get they're story.
xD
I WANT FIVE DOLLARS ]:<
Quardinate? Do you mean coordinate? Or is Quardinating a club? I can't tell. >>;
And, I want candy. D<
