Yesterday Chantz received a really harsh scolding from me. He did not do his homework the night before and he only started to do it in the morning. Actually it's 10 mins before we leave home. so angry I poked him on his head and he complained my nail was too long and that was painful. Well! he deserved it and he should thank god I did not spank him.

After sending them off to school, I was still fuming so I decided to go shopping at Aldi. The usual time is only ten mins drive but yesterday I took half an hour. Thanks to the peak hour jam. I did not manage to drive out to Canterbury road till 3 changes of traffic light. The shopping was great as I felt better after that. Channery wanted to buy a spiderman toy but I said no as it was a boy's toy. Actual reason it cost $18.90 and i did not feel worth the money. Joe is now throwing away the children's toys if he found them scattered on the floor. He reasoned that if the children could not take care of the toys, they are not important and not worth keeping. Well! Easier for me as I do not have to pick and pack up after the children played with their toys.

During dinner, boys were busy playing so they missed dinner. Joe only scooped some pumpkin onto their bowls and kept the rest of the dishes. He said since they were not able to eat together, he was not going to give thema any food at all. Good that he is upholding the discipline move as I am just unable to do so.

today I woke up with a nagging headache. Now it seems to be better. Thank god.
