My Daughter I tell ya!

I love her so dearly but she is my "mis-understood" one. She gives hubby and I sooo much grief. Often times we just shake our heads...
Here are a couple of examples...
A few weeks ago she came into our room at 3:30 am, flipped on the light, and at the top of her voice screams Cock-A-Doodle-Doo. As my husband and I both scramble to our feet, she just grins really big and closes the door. I was so furious ! First off I am one of those horrible moms that just doesn't like to be awoken. Never have, but I have adjusted once I had children.
Then a few nights later I wake up to this horrible banging noise... Hubby was already awake (from the noise) and had gone to investigate. He said as he opened her bedroom door she had her drum cymbol in one hand and her drumstick in the other. Since it was 2:30 in the morning he confiscated her entire drum set and told her to get to sleep.

I honestly thought that since she started Kindergarten she would do better with sleeping... Nope, she still doesn't sleep.

In her school they are doing a reward system where each child has a monkey on the board and if you do positive things your monkey gets moved up.

Apparently she has been talking in school. Not really getting into to much trouble but just talkative. Anyhow, she came home on Friday and I ask her how she was doing with her monkey and she replied "MY MONKEY HASN'T MOVED". It was all I could do not to laugh. Then on Monday she comes home and again I ask her about her monkey and she tells me "She had to take that monkey clean off the vine and put it on the teacher's desk"....
Again talking.
I honestly thought it would be her temper that would get her into trouble but apparently she doesn't have one at school, just with her brothers, father, and I :)!

Let's hope her monkey moves up tomorrow!
