Chapter 38

Elle's Pov
-back home-
"Josie. Can you come here please?" I shout
Josie enters after a few seconds,
"yeah?" She says
I pat the cushion next to me "sit" I smile
she does just that,
"It's almost your birthday" I say
she smiles immediately "I know. I'm so excited!"
"I'm gonna be a teenager mom, are you ready for that?" She laughs
I laugh as well and pull her close,
"I don't think I'm ready"
"Do you have any thing in mind?" I ask
She nods, "you know I don't want a big party"
"I know, Small, just us" I say with thumbs up
she chuckles "just us yes and maybe we can go out to breakfast. With out the little kids, please"
"Of course, it's your day" I smile

We go on and on eventually I ask her how to type down things in my phone so I can keep track.
I can't believe my little girl is gonna be a teenager, I don't think it'll take affect yet because she's just so sweet.
Occasionally she's moody but nothing I didn't do myself. Mat and I raised a queen.

Zhavia, enters.
"Mom" zhavia shouts
I turn my head, "Yes baby"
"Justin is being mean, him and Josiah" she says
"what'd he do to you?" I ask
Not paying much attention to anything but zhavia talking I hear Josie sigh and turn away.
"They're mad at me because they were being mean to joy and Kenzie and I was just trying to help them" she explains,
"I'll deal with it" I say
I inform zhavia to return to what she was doing I then tell Josie I'll be back in a minute.
She doesn't looked pleased. I then head upstairs and into the play room where four of the kids were.

"Justin and Josiah" I say sternly,
standing in the door frame.
They both jump in fear and do what every typical child does,
"He did it" they both say in sync, pointing
"I don't care who did what. Okay. I'm tired of you guys mistreating your sisters" I say
"I'm sorry mama" Josiah pouts
Justin just folds his arms.
"Do you have anything to say Justin?" I ask
"Nope" he mumbles and I sigh
"I would like the both of you to take a time out, now"
"But" Justin says
"what why" Josiah says
"Not but's no and's and no why's. I said now" I say

They both go into their corner that I tell them to go to and I have them stand or sit there for half an hour. Now I know I shouldn't have but I brought them a juice box and snacks.

I really wish Mat were home right now to deal with the boys. They seem to listen to him more.
Every since we got home from vacation a week ago, it's just been space between us ...
