Chapter 14

   I basically did nothing all day. It has been a few weeks. I have made tons of videos and uploaded a few. I have helped write and sing some songs for Taylor and Dillon. It has been a successful week, but a lazy day. I bet a ton of people are having the same day as me. The only things I have done today are see Grace off to school, and talk to Taylor.


   Taylor and I have gotten really close in the past few months. I have a lot of trust in him. He has been taking Grace every weekend and is being a great father. I think Grace has more trust in him. I feel like she actually thinks of Taylor as her father now. Taylor has really proved a lot to me. I want our relationship to advance.


   I finally decided to get out of bed and get ready to pick up Grace from school. I put on some sweats and cleaned myself up. I was presentable, but had on no makeup. I grabbed my purse and my phone. I went to my car and was on my way to pick up Grace.


   I got to her school a little early. I decided to wait in my car a little bit until school was let out. Around three I walked into the school. I stood in the hallway and waited for Grace. She walked out with her teacher following her.


   "I something wrong?" I asked.


   "I don't know what is wrong with her. She has been grumpy and a little different today." The teacher said.


   "I don't know. She was excited to go to school today. I don't know what has gotten into her. Did she do anything?" I asked.


   "No, she was just really grumpy." The teacher answered.


   "Well, I am sorry. If she is like tomorrow please call me. I will talk to her. Thank you for telling me." I said.


   Grace and I walked back to my car. I got Grace into her car seat. I got back into my car and she was in the front.


   "Grace get into your seat." I said.


   She crossed her arms and stayed in the front seat. I got out and put her back in her seat. I got back into the car. She was once again in the front.


   "Grace get in your seat now." I said getting angry.


   She once again stood right behind the passenger seat. She was making me very angry. Why won't she cooperate? Why is she being like this?


   "Do you want me to call dad?" I asked.


   "No." she said crossing her arms.


   "Then get in your seat now!" I said.


   She proceeded to annoy me and not get into her seat. I once again got out. I walked to the passenger side of the car. I buckled Grace into her seat. I walked back to get into the car. Grace was once again out of her seat. I got into the car.


   "Grace Anne Caniff get into your seat right now!" I said angrily.


   "NO!" Grace screamed.


   I buried my face into my hands. I rested my elbows on the steering wheel. I am very angry and stressed. Why in the hell is she being like this?


   "That is it. I am calling dad." I said pulling out my phone.


   I called Taylor.


   "She won't stay in her seat. She is being a little terd." I said.


   "It will be okay. Just tell her that you are going to take something away or that when she gets home that she is going into time out." Taylor said.


   "Grace get in your seat right now!" I yelled just about crying.


   She got into her seat. I buckled her in.


   "Did she get into her seat?" Taylor asked.


   "Yes. She is in big trouble when we get home though. Bye. I love you." I said.


   "Love you. Be careful." Taylor said hanging up.


   I drove home. I got out and grabbed Grace. We walked into the house. I didn't bother setting my things down. I immediately took Grace to the corner.


   "Grace sit there right now." I said.


   "You were naughty in the car. You are going to sit there for five minutes." I said.


   Grace sat in the corner facing it. I put my things away. I stayed in the kitchen and watched Grace. She looked around and got up. I got up and walked her back to the corner.


   "Stay here. You were naughty." I said.


   I restarted the five minutes. Aussie stayed right by me. Grace finally stayed put. My timer went off on my phone. I walked back over to Grace. I sat right beside her.


   "Do you know why you had to sit here?" I asked.


   Grace shrugged her shoulders.


   "Because you were naughty in the car." I said.


   Grace nodded her head.


   "Are you sorry?" I asked open arms.


   Grace nodded her head and gave me a hug. I hugged her and took her to the counter to start her homework. She pulled out her things and began.


   "Give me the words." Grace said.


   "Ask nicely." Said.


   "Please help me?" Grace asked.


   I took out the words and gave Grace a sheet of paper.


   "Ready?" I asked.


   "Yep." Grace smiled.


   "Two." I said.


   She wrote down the word. We finished her spelling words. I looked over the words and helped her respell some that she spelled wrong. She began getting tired.


   "Almost done. Only math is left." I said.


   Grace put away her spelling and pulled out her math.


   She began. She looked hard at her paper and thought hard. She did all but two problems.


   "Mommy what is two plus three?" Grace asked.


   I put up my hands. I put two fingers up and added three more. Grace watched.


   "How many fingers do I have up?" I asked.


   Grace counted carefully "Five!"


   "There you go. Good job." I smiled.


   She wrote down the answer. She read the next problem. I helped her. She packed up her homework. I walked Grace to her room. She sat down and began playing with her toys. I walked to the living room and watched some TV. Around five I turned off the TV and began making dinner. I put a pizza in the oven. I went back the Grace's room.


   "Grace we are having pizza for dinner." I said.


   "Okay mommy." Grace smiled.


   I sat on the floor right next to her. I picked up a doll. Grace looked at me.


   "NO! She is sleeping." Grace said.


   "Then who can I be?" I asked.


   "Here" Grace handed me a doll.


   We played dolls until the pizza was ready. We walked to the bathroom and wash our hands. We walked back out to the kitchen. I pulled out the pizza and plated up for us to eat. We ate our dinner. After dinner I gave Grace a bath.


   I finished bathing Grace. We walked out to the living room. Aussie was asleep on the couch. Grace and I cuddled on the couch until her bedtime. I tucked her in and went to my room.
