Today is one of those days where I take a deep breath and count to ten backwards. My daughter is in one of her moods.
Look out! PMS Barbie is in the house.
You got to love these power struggles. I know that she’s secretly thinking, let’s see how far I can push mom and dad over the edge.
This morning, father and daughter had a disagreement. We bought her this skirt she wanted at Christmas. She begged us for it and at any rate, she hasn’t worn it since we bought it. There it is somewhere among the mess of her closet. Guess what she’ll be wearing to school tomorrow? (Insert evil grin)
Now of course that turned into a yelling match and resulted in her slamming the door as she left for school. When she came home for lunch, she was still moaning and groaning about having to wear the skirt tomorrow.
She will be home from school in ten minutes and I’m already singing “I feel pretty, oh so pretty.” Hehe – Muahahahaha!
Exams are next week and getting her to start cramming for them is a chore.
Oh, the teenage years! Could you please pass me the Prozac?

First of all, I don’t think Mattel makes a PMS Barbie. Sorry girls! This was just one of those funny pictures.
Girlie, you’ll need more than strength.
Panda, so share your secrets, as I do note that you said “tried”.
Mommy, that’s strange that the site has trouble loading. I haven’t had that problem. LOL Sucks to be you, just joking. (((hugs)))
ABlonde, I bet you can! LOL
Spencer, I’m sorry that I had to remove your link. Please feel free to call it censorship, however after going to your blog and seeing you model underwear, I could not subject my readership to that. ROFL. Please sir, put on some pants!
By the way everyone, my daughter did wear the skirt however we listened to her argue all night about it.

LOL! I so can relate to this. I have two in puberty, and one more to go. God help us! Or should I say, Prozac help us?!!
