A Summer Day!! Help!!

First thing in the morning, Sarah woke-up and stated she doesn't feel good.   I told her that we needed to go out to take care of her horse and she could ride.   She tells me she is not going.   We finally left an hour later and it was already 85 degrees.    I asked her to get the halter and get Ginger ready to ride.   She refused to go get the halter because she is scared of the mice.   I go get the halter and put Ginger on the hot walker.   I start cleaning the stall and Sarah miraculously gets Ginger ready to ride.  She takes her out and lunges her.   Sarah doesn't feel good and doesn't want to ride.   I gave Ginger a rinse and put her up.   I guess Sarah feels better because she is playing with the frogs.

I decide to stop by Target.   Sarah is being pretty good as we shop.   She already had some colored pencils and clay in the cart.   We are looking at the long lines and then Sarah decides to pitch a fit about a cloth belt she wants.   She continues to ask me over and over for the belt.   I continued to be firm and tell her No.   She says her belts hurt her and I still said No.  Ok pretty much everyone is staring at us and I just pray we can just get out of the store.   The cashier was super nice.   Sarah must of asked at least 10 more times about the belt before we left.   I'm sure everyone there had advice of how I should of handled the situation differently. 

Behavior people came over for an intake interview.   Sarah continued her enhanced behavior for 2 more hours.   She had the white clay we bought at Target all over the table and her hands.   Sarah was signing some of the paperwork and got white clay all over.   It was a long meeting and Sarah seemed to enjoy the attention.

I took Sarah out swimming.   She found a frog in the pool and started playing with it.   She was talking like a baby and yelling "Bean, Bean, Bean"   "Mommy it is my friend."  over and over.   She insisted on taking the frog in the house to be her pet.   We already told her last weekend, No frogs in the house.   She continued on and on about the frog.   She snuck it in and put it with Stuckie.   I started getting it out of the tank and she started whining about keeping the frog.   She finally put the frog outside and I watched it climb back in the pool.   She called Dad to see if the frog could live in the water.   I'm texting Fred, "No Stop Talking about it".   I tried calling him and he wouldn't answer.   I knew Sarah was going to freak out about the frog dying in the pool.   This frog episode went on for about two hours.   Sarah continued to talk about the frog like a baby until she went to sleep.

This is one of our first days of summer.   I need the shirt that says, "Countdown to School Starting"   No joke!!   She goes to camp next week and I'm praying she will last a few days before getting sent home.   I'm in a parenting lull lately.   I need to continue to rely on God and slay those dragons tomorrow.
