A Pain in the Neck

Overall, Lily was pretty good yesterday. We finished up a good visit with Grandma Judy and enjoyed a nice day. She had a good nap and, overall, it was a good day.

Then dinnertime rolled around. I got some beef at Sam's Club and grilled it. It certainly wasn't the highest-quality and probably would have profited from more marinating, but it was certainly edible. Lily decided to put up a fight at the end of the meal, which turned into a timeout and spankings in the basement. In the course of picking her up I managed to throw my neck out again and it is sore this morning.

Once Lily realized that we were serious about her punishment (no Memory, no games) after dinner, she turned on the charm. It's amazing how hard she will work to curry favor when she thinks it is in her best interest. We've got to watch out for this one.
