Mean, just mean I tell ya.

I am the meanest mommy in the world. The girls just got done their schoolwork in time for the march Break. AND they had to clean their room and get all their chores done. They’d neglected it, got caught, and neglected it again, so it was time for loss of privilages. Fortunately, I found the perfect motivation, a party they are to attend this afternoon lasting until this evening. No work done, no go.

Let me say, I have never seen their room *this* clean. And the work? My goodness… I did let them know I was happy with them, and more importantly, that they could do it once they set their minds to it.

I really need to write a journal entry, huh?
