Giving Sneaky a Bad Name

I've been trying to get Gabby to clean her room. She was given a week and if it wasn't clean, she would lose her Twilight posters. She lost them. The second week, she would lose her MP3 player. She lost it. The 3rd week, she would lose her Nintendo DS. She lost it. P-Dub set up a shoe box last week named "Gabby's Punishment Box". Everything she loses goes in there. So, last night I needed the shoe box to help me with a craft (more on this later). So, I started to take Gabby's stuff out of the shoebox...and the MP3 player was not in there. She had just gone to bed and I marched into her room...and demanded, "Where's the MP3 player?!" She lowered her head and said, "I took it to school." I asked where it was. She said in her backpack. DOUBLE WAMMY! Not only did she sneak the MP3 player out of her punishment box, but she also took it to school! I got the MP3 player out of her backpack and said, "You're not doing ANYTHING for a VERY long TIME!!!"

I was sooo disappointed in her. She definitely got my "sneaky" gene. I was a very sneaky child. I lied to my mom all the time.

BUT!!!...What I want to know is how is she sooooo BAD at it!!!??? I mean what the hell? She's not very bright when it comes to "sneaking". If it was me? I would have snuck the MP3 player to school and then made sure I PUT IT BACK when I got home!!!

I'm just disappointed all the way around.

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Last night there was a costume party (aka Halloween Party...but some people don't celebrate Halloween?...so hence just being called a costume party) for the Union stewards at work...I'm not a steward, and I only just became a memeber of the Union on my last day of work in June...and only became a memeber because there were a lot of "things" going on at work, and I didn't want to be easily fired...however, the party was at a good friend from work's house, so I got an invite...I think they just really needed an extra kid...the party was kicked off by us watching the little girls, including Gabby, do a project...the project was to get this guy from work into his costume...they did his make-up...he was such a good sport about it and it was hilarious!!! Then followed up by lots of Malibu on ice. I threw together a cat outfit, by the way, for the party...I'll have to post the pics...kind of funny. Tonight I will be out amongst all the other pa...
