Water Fight and Fussy Kids - September 7, 2015

Monday - September 7th
It's Labor day, so the kids didn't have to go to school today.  We made cookies.
Malaiyah and Teirnynn came over
Malaiyah is getting baptized on Saturday!  Alissa gets to say the prayer and I will be making rolls for a get together after.
We were bored,  so we played a game with water in a cup and you dump it behind you and full the cup the person behind you is holding.  We had fun seeing how long we could go before all the water was lost.  Eventually that game turned into a water fight










It was lots of fun until the end........
  We all said we were finished,  but Parker still had water in his cup.  He threw it on Alissa.  She got mad.  He filled it up and threw it on her again.  Then she got really mad and threatened to get him back when he least expects it, and much worse than he got her.  She wasn't being funny about it.  She was angry.  That made Parker feel bad.  They were outside arguing. I told them to come in and stop it.  They both ran upstairs to their rooms to change.  Alissa banged angrily on Parker's door. Parker came down feeling angry and frustrated that Alissa was being so mean.  About 10 minutes later,  Alissa came down and threw water on Parker while he was sitting in the living room. That made him feel bad,  so he ran upstairs to cry.  All of this was made worse and more awkward since they had friends over.  Alissa came in complaining to me and trying to get me to see that she was justified in doing what she did.  I didn't agree with her.  That made her feel bad,  so she ran upstairs to cry.  Friends went home after that.  Alissa stayed in her room and played primary songs on the keyboard.  That helped her calm down.  Parker came downstairs and played Minecraft.  I was busy making strawberry freezer jam, bread,  and noodle soup for lunch while all this fighting was going on. After I made Brinley and Parker's soup and I was done with the other stuff, I went upstairs to talk to Alissa. We had a good talk.  She apologized to me,  then came down and apologized to Parker.  Parker apologized to her and all was well again.  I made Alissa her lunch and fixed my lunch.
While we were eating,  Teirnynn came to see if the kids could play. We told her that Brinley could play after she finishes eating her lunch.  We shut the door and Teirnynn sat outside the door crying the whole time we ate.
Brin finished eating and went out to play.  I told Brin they could play outside, but not inside yet.  They had fun outside,  then Brinley came in to relax.  Teirnynn sat outside the door crying.  We felt bad,  so we invited her in to play Fluxx and Uno with us.  She said she didn't want to play at first,  but as we sat there playing,  she changed her mind.
We started our game and Teirnynn started telling us that she wants to do something else.  She was sitting in the chair refusing to play.  I told her that she didn't have to play, she could go home or go back to playing outside.  She started to cry and refused to leave.  She just stayed on the chair crying.  Alissa ran across the parking lot to get Malaiyah to come and help Teirnynn get home.
Malaiyah wanted to play cards with us.  Teirnynn calmed down and Brinley decided to invite Teirnynn to dance to youtube videos with her in the living room. Teirnynn liked that. We played cards and they danced.  It was not long after that Teirnynn said she wanted to play minecraft.  Brinley didn't want to,  so Teirnynn sat on the luv
 Sac (where Brin had been doing her tricks ) and refused to move.  Malaiyah went and got after her
 And Teirnynn stopped, but she started being mean again a little while later.
Teirnynn and Malaiyah left right before Roger came home from Dan's. Their mom texted me and asked if Teirnynn threw any fits while she was at our house.  I was honest and told her of all the fits she threw.  She texted that Teirnynn had her nose in the corner and soap in her mouth for lying. She apologized for Teirnynn being rude.  I wasn't sure how to respond.  A short time later,  Teirnynn came to the door and apologized door being rude.

My friend, Jenny Springman, changed her status on her Facebook page to married, then she changed her last name.  I thought that was funny and I wondered if she would really do something crazy, like get married to someone she hardly knows, just out of the blue.  She changed her status on a Sunday.  I talked to her on the Friday before that.  She was getting ready to go to a karaoke bar and she wished that I was there to go with her.  I've always wanted to go to a karaoke bar, but I'm too afraid.  Anyway, so, I wondered what the heck happened in that time between talking to her on Friday to her saying she was married on Sunday.  I wondered if she met someone at the karaoke bar.  I've been trying to get a hold of her ever since then.  She doesn't answer or return my calls or text messages.  I'm worried.  I decided to check on Facebook and see if she has been on Facebook at all and she had deleted her account.  I can't figure out what's going on.  I really don't like it.  It's weird.  I hope she's okay.  I keep letting my imagination get carried away at what could be wrong.

So, they accepted our offer on the house, but I'm totally freaked out that something will happen and make it so we don't get it after all.  I'm not sure what could go wrong, but I'm worried.  I am stressing myself out.  I have too much to worry about and I'm making myself crazy.  I have to pack and get ready for our move, but because of all the stress, it is slow going.

Crazy world we live in.  It's mind boggling how stupid people are.  It's crazy to see things we read in the scriptures happening.  I read tonight about how what is evil will be considered good and what is good will be considered evil .  And there will be a separation between the people.  (Or among the people). I just realized that there will be such a separation because the wicked will be really wicked  (but they don't realize it). And the righteous have to separate themselves. It's just crazy!

Update on Jenny Springman:  She finally got back to me.  She has been going through a really hard time.  The marriage thing was a funny joke.  She ended up getting back together with an ex boyfriend and they thought it would be funny to change their status' to that.  The reason she deleted her Facebook and I couldn't get a hold of her, was because her ex boyfriend, Grant, who she was with for many many years, passed away in a motorcycle accident.  She has been having a hard time dealing with it all.  She said she just didn't know how to handle it.
