Anyone need a snarky 5 year old?

Because I have one that I am quite through with (at least momentarily).

Ross is just being an a** today.  I'm sorry if that offends you, but it is the absolute truth.

We had some friends over for a play date today and pretty much the entire time they were here, Ross was being loud, obnoxious, disobedient and rough.  He was fine both before & after they were here.  He did the same thing to me on Tuesday at the grocery store.  He was fine in the van on the way to the store, but the moment my hands hit the shopping cart handle, he turned into a devil child.  And you know what?  He was awful the entire time we were in the store, but turned into a model child once we were in the van again.  In fact, pretty much any place with an audience serves as an invitation for misbehavior.

This evening he just pushed every limit imaginable and to top it off, he smacked Jeremy across the face.  The source of that conflict was his bike, so that has been packed off to the basement for an indefinite period of time.   And at the very least, he won't be going to soccer on Saturday (and possibly for the rest of the season).  And if I have my way, he will have to pay us back every penny of the fees we payed for him to be on the team.  I hope Ross is ready for some weed pulling.

I need to go blow off some steam on my elliptical and pray that my temper recovers before breakfast.
