Not good

Well this morning was not good. I guess I have to document the bad with all the cute and fun too right? The morning started with a defiant Ellie telling me she hated mornings, hated getting dressed, and hated breakfast...off to a good start you think?. It ended with two time outs and Ellie hitting me before we left for school, in a time span of about 45 minutes.

When we got to school I told Ellie's teacher that she had a rough morning and had already had a time out. She informed me that Ellie has been misbehaving at school, telling teachers she hated them and even hitting two teachers. We knew she had hit one because she wouldn't go on a time out and had already discussed this with her. However, it appears we have a bigger issue to deal with. Her teacher told me that her fuse is so short right now she is acting out after simple requests like to put her lunch box away.

Her teacher let me borrow the book, "Hands are Not for Hitting" for the weekend.

I think Nick and I will have to have a long discussion with her this weekend. I did tell her she has lost all TV, iPhone, and computer priviledges (that was part of the second time out after she hit me, which she did appologize for, kinda).

Thank goodness its Friday...this week has been a long and difficult one.
