Friday, Dr's, Curiuos George, and shopping

Happy Friday to all. We started the day off with getting ready for L's well visit. As I was giving them a bath, L pulled something brown out of her private parts, I knew it didn't look like poop so I asked her what it was. She said a marker, it wasn't a marker, but a piece of a crayon. How do you get that in your girl parts? I am not sure. But she did, and last night when I got home from work, she had poured an entire thing of powdered chocolate mix on the floor and mixed it with water. Step son did his best to clean it up and I was pleased that he tried but why oh why does she do these things? So when we went to the Dr I was determined to seek out help for these issues, I soon learned I need a new Ped. This is not the first time I have thought this, in fact this is our third visit and two of those I was not impressed with. Today when I was explaining to her that L is like no other 4 year old I know, she is always into something. She was very dismissive, so I again tried to explain to her, that I do not know what to do. I love L with all my heart but I cant handle this behavior and I don't want to be yelling at her all the time. And at this point I am. She asked what I do for discipline, I again tried to explain that everything I have tried is not effective, and I need help. She said she is a strong willed child that knows how to push your buttons, and you need to find something that is special to her and use that as a reward for good behavior. I tried again to explain to her that it is not just her pushing my buttons, and yes she is strong willed but I need help. Well this help is obviously not going to come from her. I know that now Ped's are really focused on not only the health of the kids but moms mental state as well. And I really need help, if she cant help me, I thought maybe should could direct me to someone who could help, but this was just not the case. I was very displeased with the outcome. Maybe I am wrong, but I was seriously asking for help. I came home and tried to find a solution on my own and as far as behavior issues, all you can find info on is ADD/ADHD, and I don't think this is the problem. I do not know what the problem is but I need help.
After picking the kids up from School, H and I went shopping for me. I was given a 50% off coupon for graduating from training to sales associate. But I had to use it by Saturday. So my mom offered to let me buy some clothes and they would be my Christmas. I was fine with that. I was excited. So I got 5 pairs of pants, 4 shirts, 2 dresses and 2 pairs of Cole Haun shoes for $495.00. I was very excited. So now I have some nice work clothes. It felt good to buy myself nice clothes. I will wear them to work tomorrow. Sunday is L's 4th birthday. So we will have a small celebration for her. Well that is all for tonight. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come..............
