You Think Your Kids Are Spoiled?

My DD was crying this morning because I make them eat cereal for breakfast. They think I am punishing them by making them eat cereal. See it is my fault. Because I use to act like a short order cook and made breakfast to order. You want Grits and Bacon? SUREEEEE. You want pancakes and sausage? SUREEEEE. I got tired of it. I got tired of playing short order cook because my two youngest kids never want the same thing. They don't like the same things and they never want the same things. SO not only was I playing short order cook for one but for two different kids. I made it very clear to them I was not going to do it anymore and that they were going to start getting cereal for breakfast like 90% of the rest of the kids in America. Cereal is not a punishment. It's a quick and easy breakfast food.

SO this morning, I let DD cry and act like a spoiled little diva. THEN she got the cereal she was crying about.

She thinks I treat her differently than I treat my youngest son. She's right. I do. I treat her according to how she acts. I treat him according to how he acts. She acts like a spoiled smart ass brat most of the time. He doesn't. He minds, he is sweet and he leaves everybody alone and keeps to himself. She is sassy, she talks shit to her brother constantly, threatens to hit him all the time and never does anything nice for him.

When she acts sweet I treat her sweet. When she is mouthy and is talking smart ass sassiness to me, I treat her accordingly. I shut her up and make her go to her room and stay in there by herself for long periods of time. She hates it. I told her that's why it is called punishment. Kids aren't suppose to like it.

I don't like starting my day off like this.

P.S- I finally downloaded a Twitter and a Facebook APP for my phone yesterday. I never had an internet data package on my phone because I didn't ever use it. Well my DH decided to get me unlimited data on my phone so I learned how and then downloaded the apps to my phone. I made some practice posts from my phone just to get use to the app, and to get signed in so I won't have to put my passwords in every time I open them. The world of Twitter and Facebook are no longer safe from me. I can post from anywhere now!

I could always post a tweet from my phone by sending it through a text message but I couldn't see what ppl tweeted me back, not from my phone. I can now. I feel so 2011 now.=)

P.S.S- My kids let me know that if I would just let them have Chinese fried rice for breakfast every day they would LOVE THAT and be SO HAPPY! Really? I bet you would!!

Sometimes You Just Gotta Say No

My 10 year old daughter has been fascinated lately with scary movies. Use to she couldn't get through 5 minutes of One Missed Call and she was telling me to turn it off. She couldn't stand the scary parts.

This past Tuesday when we went to Blockbuster she decided she wanted to get a few scary (old) movies. She picked The Grudge and I don't remember what the second one was. I had tried to get her to get The Ring but she didn't get it. OH, the second one was actually One Missed Call. lol. She made it through the whole thing this time.

She made it through The Grudge ok, but she was so scared afterwards that she asked me to walk her to the bathroom, which you can SEE from my living room. Ridiculousness.

Then Thursday night we were flipping through the DirecTv guide to see what was on the movie channels and Lo and Behold there was The Ring coming on, so we flipped it over and started watching The Ring.

I love The Ring. I love Naomi Watts in anything she has ever been in. Turns out DD really liked the Ring as well.

I told her we could go back to Blockbuster and rent The Ring 2 because I had seen it on the shelf in the old favorites Horror section when we got The Grudge. So we went back.

What are the odds that a 7 year old horror flick that probably NEVER gets rented was CHECKED OUT when we went back to rent it. We were both SO disappointed. We were looking forward to seeing it.

SO, I came home and looked for it online. I couldn't find it on Amazon.com and I couldn't find it on ITunes. I googled it in general and found a website that claimed you could watch it for free and it downloaded some kind of virus onto my computer. A good one. It was a virus that attacks your virus protection and turns it off. I couldn't get my virus protection to come back on so I had to completely uninstall it and redownload a new/different kind of virus protection that I don't even like. I HAD Trend Micro, which I have had for YEARS but I had to get Norton, which I heard sucks major ass and doesn't work at protecting against viruses.

Anyway. I found the movie The Ring 2 for sale on amazon so I ordered it and ordered one day shipping on it, so it is suppose to come today by Fed Ex.

DD watched some scary movies we already owned yesterday afternoon. She watched Amityville, The Omen and Pet Cemetery. She didn't think they were very scary compared to The Grudge and The Ring.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Spring Break for us was last week. This weekend is the last few days of no school for the kiddos. They start back to school on Monday with a new LONGER extended school day. They use to get out at 2:20 in the afternoon and now they won't get out until 3:15. I resisted this new notion at first because the reasoning behind the new longer day didn't make sense to me. I thought there would be a whole parent uprising and demand the school not change the school day. But that never happened. SO the change is taking place as scheduled.

More about Disney...

We were originally going to go to Walt Disney World in Florida for a week during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. However those dates didn't work out for DH's work schedule, so we changed the dates to 10/30 to 11/6/11. We added the water park fun and more feature to our tickets so that we can go to the 2 water parks and Disney Quest for free.

We plan on trying to see BOTH water parks and going to Disney Quest (a giant 5 story virtual reality arcade) at least 2 times. Disney Quest has a food court, an animation academy where kids can learn how to draw Disney characters, a real old fashioned arcade with old school video games from when I was a kid, an arcade with newer video games and virtual reality games.

I didn't even know it existed until I was researching our trip. But it is in Downtown Disney and seems like something cool we can do in the evening after we eat dinner and don't have anything to do for 4 or 5 hours before bed time.

Something else I found in researching our trip was the DISNEY MOMS PANEL. It is like a message board where ppl submit their questions to the Moms Panel and these moms, who are experts on all things Disney, answer their questions and post it for everyone else to see. It has been invaluable to me in finding out obscure, hard to find out information.

I also found MOUSE GENIUS which is a blog, run by @AwholelotofNothing from Twitter. And it is a blog about all things Disney. Also, there's The Disney Food Blog which talks a lot about all the different places there are to eat within the property. Not just in the parks but at the resorts and Downtown Disney well.

We added the Quick Service Dining Plan to our vacation package so I had to start investigating all the places there are to eat within the parks and on the property. I specifically needed to locate the spots that have normal type food. DH is picky and is a meat and potatoes kind of guy who doesn't want Mexican food or Chinese Food, let alone anything else exotic or ethnic.

So I had to find out, from all the dozens of places there are to eat at Disney, which ones accepted the dining plan, which ones were QUICK service places as opposed to Table Service places, and which ones had the right kind of food. For that I used the main WDW website, but I also used AllEars.net which is a site that has precise, valuable information on all the dining spots within all the Disney parks. I think I have it all narrowed down and have also finally figured out what days we are going to which parks.

If you stay on Disney property you get to participate in what's called "Extra Magic Hours" where the parks open an hour early for all guests staying on property. Some night the Extra Magic Hours are the park staying open 3 hours past closing time for Disney resort guests.

So I looked up the schedules/calendars of all the parks, saw which days they offered the early morning Extra Magic Hours and made our schedule according to that. If Hollywood Studios offers EMH on Tuesday then that's what day we are going there.

I had been debating on which park to go to on Halloween day. I didn't want to go to Magic Kingdom because they have this event called Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, which you have to pay an EXTRA $60 to get into and lasts from 7 pm to midnight. But from all I have heard it is more cutesy and juvenile meant for the younger kids.

I started for us to go to Universal Studios (not a Disney property) on Halloween day because they deck the place all out in scary decorations but then found out they have some special extra ticketed event on Halloween and that Universal Studios attracts adults from all over the place who come there just for the Halloween event. (Read: crowds) So I went with Animal Kingdom for Monday. For one thing they aren't having any Halloween event and also that is the day they offer Extra Magic Hours. So that settled that.

SO here's our schedule:

Sunday- arrive at Disney, check into the hotel, get our park tickets and then go to Downtown Disney. Go to Disney Quest and have lunch in their food court, stay there playing games until supper time, then have dinner at Planet Hollywood. Go back to the room, day over.

Monday- Halloween day at Animal Kingdom all day. Have lunch at the park, leave the park right before dinner time then go back to the hotel and have dinner in their food court.

Tuesday- Epcot in the morning until lunch time. I have heard this park only takes half a day at most. We will leave Epcot at lunch time and go to Typhoon Lagoon water park. Have lunch at the water park, stay all day until supper time. Leave the water park and go back to the room. Decide on where to have supper OFF Disney property at a local restaurant.

Wednesday- Universal Studios all day. Lunch at Universal and dinner back at the hotel.

Thursday- Magic Kingdom all day. Lunch at Magic Kingdom, stay until close to dinner time. Leave the park and go have dinner OFF Disney property again. Maybe at Denny's. lol

Friday- Sea World (not on Disney property) Lunch at Sea World. Spend the whole day there until close to dinner time. Have dinner at the hotel.

Saturday- Hollywood Studios half a day. Blizzard Beach water park the second half of the day. Lunch at Blizzard Beach. Dinner off property.

Sunday- leave for home. 14 hour drive!!

We will have breakfast every day at the hotel food court using the dining plan credits. We will have lunch on property using the dining plan credits. And then pay for dinner out of pocket wherever we eat.

Now that I have made you vomit up all things Disney. Tell me have you ever been to Disney? What parks did you go to? Did you stay on property? Did you use the Disney dining plan?

Wordless Wednesday

I keep trying to post a picture here for Wordless Wednesday and Blogger is being a bitch and won't load it up for me. I tried to use Windows Live Writer and it keeps saying that my Blogger username and password are wrong, when they are so not wrong. SO just imagine some really cool picture here.

Don't judge her?

If you haven't seen it in the NEWS a Mississippi mother has been arrested and charged with murder after they found her BURNED 3 yr old in the lady's apartment oven.

Here is a link to the whole story.

The crazy bitch's sister said her sister wasn't a bad mom, not to judge her until all the facts are known. I have no words for that. Just read the story and you will be just as shocked as I am.

UPDATE, SATURDAY: The newspaper today reported that the autopsy on the 3 yr old child revealed the child did die from heat. The oven killed the child. HEAT RELATED DEATH.
