The Tragedy of Troilus and Cressida 2. Instance, O instance, strong as Pluto's gates! Cressid is mine, tied with the bonds of heaven. Instance, O instance, strong as heaven itself! The bonds of heaven are slipp'd , disolv'd, and loos'd, and with another knot, five finger tied, the fractions of her faith, orts of her love, the fragments, scraps, the bits, and greasy relics of her ore-eaten faith are bound to Diomed. Ulysses. May worthy Troilus be half attached with that which here his passion doth express? 3.Tagged: Grace, My mom, Da Mamma T (if she ever reads my blog), my grandma (if she ever reads), Marissa

AHHHH RELIEF

So, I just heard (or rather, I got an email) from the guy that puts quiz meets together and even though they already put the alstar team together, we might have another team quiz meet from the people that made it to the top 16 but didnt become a member of the all star team. I would be one of those people, so I sent the email to him saying that I was interested and now I am waiting to hear more.
Okay, so I know I havent been updating, but I dont really think anybody is depending on me to write something everyday, so I'm not really sorry. So, I had a good day today. I am the leader during babysitting and I had to use my leadership role today, which I dont really like doing very much. I like being the leader, because everyone usually listens to me, and things go much smoother, but sometimes I have to do things like I did tonight.
So, Emma and Tristan (two of the kids I babysit) where playing and having fun as usual. Well, things got a little hyper because Tristan wanted to SIT on top of the TOY truck. As that is a good way to break things and hurt themselves, I POLITELY asked that he stay off of it. Before we go any further, you should know that Tristan is 1 (almost 2) and Emma is 2 (almost 3). Their aunt (who is 13 and has ADD, which makes things very difficult) comes sometimes too. So, he got off, but he got back on. So, I took the truck, and put it away with the other toys, and gave him something else to play with. He was very content, but then his aunt took his toy, and gave the truck back, confidently stating that he should be able to do what he wants. Well, since I didnt want to be responsible for her being angry, I said, "Well, I dont want him to get hurt, and it isnt a good idea." Brenna (one of 2 of my helpers during these nights) said, "Aimee, you're the leader. You need to be more stern." Now, so far, Saron (the aunt) was being obstinant, but she hadnt gotten argumentive yet, so I didnt feel a need to be stern and assert my authority. Then, the fun was getting out of hand because Saron started to playfully hit Emma who didnt mind because it obviously didnt hurt. But then, Tristan (who has much too long nails) started doing it too. So, Emma now had a big scratch on her forehead that she had her hand on crying and screaming. Then, she hit Tristan as payback. It was your basic little kid fight, really.
So, out of concern I said, "That's naughty. Dont do that." Well, it worked, but I didnt want it to happen again, so I said, "Let's play the quiet game." (If you dont recognize this sneaky way to relax without worrying about a kid having a heater fall on him, you say, "Quiet as a mouse, still as a rock 123! Then everyone gets quiet, or they lose.) So, everyone agreed (Paige and Brenna REALLY wanted to.) So, I did the whole "quiet as a mouse" thingy and Saron kept talking. Even the kids had been "playing" the "game", but when Saron started talking, so did they. So I tried again. And again. And again..... and again.... and you get the idea. Well Brenna wanted me to show that I was boss and said, "Well.... do something." So I did. I said, "Saron, they really look up to you, and if they dont see you being quite, they wont understand how to play the quite game." She said, "I dont want to be quite." Well, she isnt even suppossed to be there, as she is neither toddler, infant, or babysitter. So, I suggested rather nicely that she sit down and we try again. She said, "No! I dont want to." I felt like saying, "Shut up and sit down and do what I say!" Instead, I said, Saron, we'll give you one more chance." So I did. Then she said, "they dont know how to be quite." I said, "They need to learn now to obey authority and be quite." Well, you can probably see how mad I was getting. Meanwhile, Paige and Brenna wanted me to enforce my instruction. So, I had no choice. I finally said, very meanly, but not yelling, "Saron, I am the boss and you will do what I say. Now, I said to be quite, and you are being a bad example. It is good for children to be quite sometimes and learn to obey authority." By the way in case you were wondering I wanted to add that she probably didnt have to be quite when someone told her to and that is how she turned out the way she is. However, I still wanted to be nice, so I just waited for her reply. She FINALLY obeyed and the room was finally quite..... for about 10 seconds. Then, Saron said, "Emma, you wanna come play over here with me?" I said, "If you cant be quite you have to go sit in the corner with your nintendo so you can be quite." She said, "Well can I take her over here and play quitly?" I said yes. Well, she did, and I enjoyed anothe r10 seconds before babysitting was over and it was time to leave. AHHHHHHH RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
