I’ve been at my wit’s end the last few days. Monkey has been acting up, and THAT is an understatement. A little whining and complaining is nothing new in this house, but this exceeds even the worst days. She’s even taken to just flat out saying “No” when we tell her to do something. I have absolutely no idea how to handle this. Time out doesn’t really work with her. Taking things away doesn’t work with her. I’m at a loss here. Any ideas?
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, I was finally able to try the Curried Coconut Chicken last night, and it was FABULOUS. I really couldn’t taste the coconut in it, but I’m not a big fan of coconut, so it was OK. 
This was wonderful on a bed of rice with some steamed veggies. YUM.
Money-wise, not doing so well this week. I was able to go to the mall BY MYSELF yesterday, which was awesome, but it was also a very bad idea. I have to say though, it was nice to just get out of the house and go to Target and the mall and not have anybody complaining about not wanting to go into this-or-that store *ahem Computer Guy.* I was also able to get my maternity pants exchanged, which is definitely a good thing, since pre-pregnancy pants just aren’t fitting these days. I also ended up spending more than I had anticipated, which means we’ll be scrimping the rest of the week. *Sigh*
