Sorry teacher but my mom tore up my homework!

Just a quick note of some things I will want to remember or quickly forget.  Last week it was foggy in the morning and while I was driving the girls to school avery was in her car seat blowing like crazy.  She thought she could blow it away, how cute and creative is she at solving big problems.  On another note of creative parenting I am not to proud of but somehow did the trick.  Zoey was being absolutely as rotten as she could possibly be.  Bad attitude, yelling, screaming and being so difficult.  She needed to get her homework done and I was trying to help her  she was scribbling on it and tearing it with her pencil.  I lost control and grabbed all her homework pages and tore them to shreds.  She about had an anxiety attack and was close to throwing up.  Later I taped back together and copied it so she could write on it.  I think she was shocked I would go so crazy on her, and for about 4 days she was an absolute angel.  Now I have to come up with something more drastic to get her attention because it sure did the trick.  Man it is so hard to not to lose control when your kid is being an absolute maniac 80% of the time and all you feel is chaos.
