Something short of a nightmare.

Leena lived with my mom for a while, they're really good friends/buddies now. So, we waited for Leena to finish out the school year, then moved her down and into the new house with us.

First month, totally fine. Went to Bermuda, to see my dad, came back. Was fine...until about last week or prior, when school started.

NOW, she had constant "meltdowns" and screams and cries hysterically, for HOURS. She writes me notes, and throws them down the stairs usually when I'm making dinner, or right around the start of bed time. Never prior. I don't get it. Alot of it is (what she says at least) is "I miss grandma", but she doesn't think to pick up the phone and call my mom, to see if that will help. She has maybe once. Not the other several times.

She's totally irate and irrational when she's that inconsolable. it's trying on me because I'm so used to it, I don't really go and try to comfort her, because it literally, doesn't help. She just cries harder and harder, and the other day when I tried to, she threw a stuffed animal at me. Or my head, she missed, but it was still the fact that she'd misbehaved.

If she was fine for all that time prior, why isn't she ok now? I send Jeff to be the negotiator because I will lose my cool because I'm sick of the production she puts on, that stresses out everyone in this house.

She even fought me about going to church!! SHE NEVER does that!! I put my foot down and said "If you want to have more friends at school, and at church, you NEED to go to your Sunday school class"...she pouted on the way out to the car. We got to the church, went inside (we skipped sacrament meeting due to this meltdown) and we got to the door, and the hysteria began...I promised my mom I'd be diligent in taking her, and I have. However, Leena has pretty much told me she's not going to go anymore. What the?! What happened to my sweet little girl?!?! =(
