[QUOTE="nvts, post: 101581, member: 3814"] Ugh, we've been going through the motions EXACTLY like you're describing with difficult child 1. He's driving me, well, nvts! [img]:smile:[/img] We've noticed a pattern: he goes through this for every gift "receiving" holiday/occasion. Last year it started before his birthday (Mischief Night - how ironic!)(day before Halloween) and lasted until 4:00pm Christmas Day. Then he became the nicest little kid in the world until about a month before Easter. Apparently he was convinced that he'd been soooo horrible during the year that Santa had him "tatooed to the naughty list". Once he scored on Christmas, all was right with the world. Nothing like a guilty conscience to take you where you don't want to be! [img]:rofl:[/img] As far as dinner ideas: I've been grilling up balsamic glazed chicken and keeping it in the freezer. On the quickie nights I make up a pot of the Wheat Penne Pasta and quick stir fry some broccoli (or some other type of veggie)with some garlic, throw in the chicken at the end and let the chicken steam in with the veggies - keeps it moist. Then I throw together one of those envelopes of Knorr/Lipton/other kind of "sauce in an envelope", pasta on the plate, veggies and chicken on top, little sauce and Voila! done. The longest part is boiling the pasta. I've got a couple of them, as they come to mind I'll PM them! Beth [/QUOTE]
