The Sourpuss

So, we are having a little issue around these parts. Danae is mad at the world right now.
When Dwayne told her we were moving, she cried like a crazy person. This was expected though because she would miss her friends and family and all that. Then, she had a few moments of excitement about this move. Well, since she started school, we have gone back to the bottom.

The problem...friends. She says that she doesn't have any friends. She says people don't like her and are talking about her. I think she's part of the problem. Now, my daughter tends to be a bit shy around new people and I get that. She met a little girl on the first day who has been talking to her and being very friendly. But, that little girl has other friends who don't know Danae and Danae isn't trying to know them too much either. As a matter of fact, when I walked her to class one day, another little girl spoke to her and she barely opened her mouth. I've been trying to tell her that she has to be friendly for other folks to want to be bothered with her.

Last night, she gave me this note.
It says: "I hate school so badly that I never want to hear the word school ever again."

"School is the worst thing I've heard of in my whole entire life. I don't even want to see one. I am too done with this thing. Just don't talk to me. PLEASE!!!

I think she came with such a bad attitude that it's affecting her ability to build relationships. This school is full of children who just moved here or are getting ready to leave or are in the middle of their stay. They get it! They've all been the new kid. I talked to Danae's teacher to see how she's doing and it seems that she is her own worst enemy. I've tried to encourage her, pray with her, talk to her, but I'm out of ideas and I'm very annoyed.

If anyone has ideas on how to handle, please share because I've decided to not ask her about it anymore and just let her deal.

AAWWWW! I am sorry for the both of you. Have you thought about letting her SKYPE with some of her friends back home? Please accept my apology if this offends you. Please be more patient with her as you would want God to be patient with you when you have been placed in a situation that you didn't agree with. She is young and doesn't truly understand. Of course that does not excuse her bad behavior, but a little more patience, prayer and maybe SKYPE will help. I think she needs more time.

Awwwww!!! I'm so sorry to hear that she's having such a hard time. I think you are right about her being her own worse enemy. We need to continue to pray but I think if you keep the lines of communication open, she might eventually see that you are trying to help her make the best of a not so happy time. When we talked last Sunday, a week ago, she said she had met a friend. It is hard but keep talking to her. We will FaceTime you guys this weekend too. Maybe if Khaity and Kenn try to encourage her to get friends while she's there so they won't feel as though she is alone, she might think about it. It's only been 18 days, 11 hrs. And a few minutes since you guys left. We know our Danae so hang in there my friend. She will get better. How are things otherwise? I hope you've been able to get unpacked and a little mire comfortable. I still really miss you terribly. Sabbaths and Adventurer meetings will not be the same until you all come back. We go to camp in a couple of weeks:(, without my friends:(.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
