ODD rearing it's ugly head

A full on battle to put hearing aides on and honestly when they left for their weekend visit today I am not even sure she had them on at all!

It was one of those mornings where it was a battle from breakfast to the door! She didn't want breakfast, left the table 4 times randomly and left her dishes there, but she was hungry and stole cookies out of the pantry when she knew I was outside and hubby is less than skilled at paying any kind of attention to her. She constantly chased the dog around the house. Kept crashing her airplane into everything breakable around the house and would wait until I left the room to grab it again from where she was told to put it. See comment on hubby above. She refused to help clean up the mess she made in the playroom. "Lost" her shoes. And talked back or argued with me all day about everything. When she hit her sister over the who was to get to use the broom, aka pretend to be actually cleaning the playroom, I crooked my finger at her to leave the room, she says, "Great now I am going to get beat up!" WTF? I have never laid a hand on her, and never threatened to do so. (but seriously sometimes I want to shake her.. but I just walk away and hide). I asked her to repeat what she said, "Now I am going to get hurt." Her sisters piped in and said, " No you aren't you will just get a time out like always." I mean seriously? That is all I need. She said, "she will get put roughly into her room." I have never even done that. The other night she was standing in the doorway of her sister's room taunting her after lights out, so I clapped my hands very loudly to get her attention, I am trying to do something instead of yell she said, " Why did you throw something at me?" It will be a happy happy day when she finally goes home!!!

I am thankful though that bioMom cut oldests hair into a short bob and now... no more hair battle... in my best Forrest Gump voice... "good, one less thing"!!
