Wanna be a pin up girl?

So, it's not enough that I already have too many ideas and projects, I had to add a new one. I want to take pin up girl photographs! They're smart and sexy and every size woman can be a pin up girl. I believe it would be very liberating and a great boost to the self esteem of a woman to see herself as a beautiful pin up girl!

Super Nanny can suck it.

I came home tonight to a kid throwing a fit and acting ridiculous. I sent her to her room and she finally went after SEVERAL times of telling her. Then a second one started. She was telling me no and being a general smart ass and when I told her to clear off the dining room table, she threw it all on the floor and said, "There, it's clear." I sent her to her room, too, and she ignored me. I threatened to get the paddle. She said, "Well, can you just spank me and not make me go to my room? Because I'm not going to learn anything by going to my room, so just spank me." I said absolutely not. I made them eat dinner in their room and they spent the entire evening in there. At one point one of them was telling me that being in their room was fun because they had videos and could color and play. So I decided I had to do something to make my point. So this is what happened:
There were only two cars that drove by but she was HORRIFIED and telling me how mean I was. We went in and she apologized and told me she loved me so much and was sorry so much and said she wouldn't do it again. I told her she says that every time and she swore THIS time she really wouldn't. So we'll see. The other one was the one that really deserved it, but she had fallen asleep. She woke up for a minute and this one told what she had to do and she got all crappy and said well, SHE wasn't going to do it. If it hadn't already been dark, I would have taken her sleepy butt out there, too. I'm telling you, I DO AND DO AND DO cool things for my kids and these two have absolutely no concept of appreciation or gratitude at all. They're both very selfish and it's just odd to me because the oldest one is not at all like that. I'm just at the point where nothing I do matters to them, but this seemed to, so we'll see. The one in the picture called me "ma'am" even, lol. I'm NOT a mean mom at all, I'm just at my end with them talking to me the way they do.
