It's the end of August!

And I really haven't accomplished much at all! It has been a crazy time.

1) I'm working on my Master's degree.

2) I left my secure full-time job to teach! (I'll be a long-term substitute this year and praying for a position for next year)

3) I went to Scentsy convention! (Yes... I sell Scentsy... and I LOVE IT)

But! Never Fear! I'm working on a project! I have a daughter who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and developmental delays. The real challenge has been discipline. She is sometimes all over the place. And this is what happened:

1) Listened to a friend talk about how her granddaughter has a treasure box. This box holds all kinds of cool stuff that if the little girl is good she gets to choose from. Just 1 item per day. But she has to earn her item through good behavior.

2) I told a story to my sister about how my mother asked my daughter if she'd rather have a spanking or miss dessert. My daughter chose the spanking. So my mother made her skip dessert LOL. My sister says to me... hmm... she's reward driven.... I said hmmm... you are right.

3) So I was on the hunt for materials to make her a treasure box of her very own! When I'm done, I'll get it posted.

But let me tell you my ideas for what to give her. I found a great place that sells hairbows for $1. I know... I make them right so why would I pay for them! (Time is the answer here). And we have a $1 costume jewelry store in town, plus some added little this' and that's from the $1 store in town. I'm not even done with the box yet, but she sure has been good in anticipation!

I'll post again with pictures, and ideas soon!
