Today's crisis happened first thing this morning, right as the bus was supposed to get here. It began with her yelling at, and then pushing her little sister off of the couch because that is where she believed she had left her phone. Evidently, the only possible way to search for this phone was to remove all the cushions and throw them across the room. After not finding the phone in the couch amungst the various food scraps that the kids had left behind, she proceeded to tear apart the rest of the room in this phone search. Once she was satisfied that her room destruction would not result in her finding her phone, she proceeded upstairs to her bedroom to repeat the proccees, all the while yelling at me to find out where I had left her phone. She even called her dad at work to see if, perhaps, he had misplaced her phone. At this point, the tears started, which then had her saying she wasn't going to school because people could tell she was crying. OMG!!! I almost put a shot of tequila in my coffee!! This all before 7:30 am! Needless to say, she went to school, minus her phone. Hope she makes it through the day.
