The Song: "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"; From the movie, "The Sound of Music":
Many a thing you know you'd like tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay?
And listen to all you say
how do you keep a wave upon the sand?
Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria (Samantha)?
How do you hold a moon beam in your hand?
When I'm with her
I'm confused
Out of focus
And bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling
She's a demon
She's a lamb
She'd out pester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She can throw a twirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle
She is wild
She's a riddle
She's a child
She's a headache
She's an angel
She's a girl!!
How do you solve a problem like Maria (Samantha)?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria (Samantha)?

It's not fair to Samantha. I yell at her way too much. She doesn't deserve it. I don't have any patience left when dealing with her and am quick to lose my temper. This just isn't me or my parenting style and I don't want it to become the norm.
I think some kind of action is needed. I am working on a plan. I don't want to feel like pulling my hair out at the end of the day or counting down the minutes until Jeff comes home and rescues me. Not to mention that I've identified a huge reason I am fat and not losing weight any time fast -- every time Sam acts up, I make a beeline to the closest comfort food I can find and stuff my face until I am feeling numb from a food coma. And you know what, it helps me momentarily feel better, but Sam is still out of control and we still need to deal with each other.
Stay tuned.....I've got some plans in the works and will share with you in my next blog.
