The Tyrant
Stephanie and I are exhausted and Ben has been a tyrant today. He asked for a bath and when I told him he had to wait he screamed and attacked Alex. He has been demanding and sometimes getting soda all day. He has had enough soda so now we are answering No. He is not…

Fruit Punch
I’ve been craving sugar. Stephanie gets me a highly sweetened fruit punch from the grocery store. Sadly Alex loves the stuff too and finished it off last night. We ordered fast food and I was supposed to get a milkshake but it was missing from the order. So I’m still craving sugar.
