So I came home from work, where sd13 and ss10 have been by themselves most of the day, except the hour I came home for lunch to walk the dog and check on them. The kitchen is a fucking disaster!! I mean food spilled on the counter, dishes e dry where, chips shoved down the sink drain....unbelievable. I clean this up and go to sit on the couch....finally. My had touches something somewhat slimy....popcorn butter, for real?? We have a very strict no eating on the couch policy. The kids are very aware of this, and sd13 has taken every opportunity to break this rule anytime we are not home. So I asked who ate one the couch?

Ss says, why, what did you find? I said it doesn't matter, fess up. Well ss sits there like she has had a lobotomy. Ss fesses up, they both did. I then told them you are both grounded.(this sassy attitude began when sd13 saw I had gotten the last soda from the fridge. She starts screaming, really, why do you get it? I said because I paid for it and did more than sit on my butt today. Needless to say I was already getting grumpy). So ss and ss try to walk out the door. I said where are you going. Ss says outside. I said no, you are grounded (this was just 5 minutes before).

The stomp back inside, go to sd's room and slam the door. I clean the kitchen some more, then go to start laundry. I went to sd's room to ask if she had anything for wash. She ignored me. I then realize ss is on the pho e. he's upset, and ss called bm to come get him. Are you fucking kidding me??? I wit for him to get off the phone. I then ask them to spill it, wats up! Silence from sd, not even acknowledging I'm there. Ss says nothing, I just want to go home. I said that is sad. I'm still being ignored, ss is trying to weasel out of snitching to bm....ugh, I wan to go back to work!! I'm just going to cry!!
