What a day!

I was asked to sub Ashlynn's primary class today. I have taught her class before and its been rather amusing. I have know idea what happened today. Ashlynn decided to release her inner beast. It all started when we dropped Preston off at nursery. She wanted to stay and play with the toys. I had to explain that these toys were for babies and not 4 year olds. She practically made me chase her to get her to leave with me. I went to grab a hold of her and I accidently pulled her hair instead of her sweater.One of the teachers saw it I felt horrible. Finally I got her in my grip. I'm trying to hurry to primary so we can get to her class. She is whining the whole way. We were in the chapel because we were practicing for the primary program next week. She couldn't hold still, sitting upside down on her chair, taking her shoes off ,whining. Had to go potty, she was running through the halls. We came back to the chapel and she started running through the chairs in the back. I'm am completely embarrassed by now. I am totally frazzled too. We head on back to class and she decided to take a crayon to the chalk board and drew all over it she wouldn't listen to a word I would say. She would stick her tongue out at me. I felt as if my child was abusing me. I was trying to teach the class and discipline her at the same time. First of all that did not work at all. I felt bad for all the other kids in the class that were all being angels. True angels. They are so sweet. Why was my child being like that? I tried to teach the best I knew how and hopefully the lesson got through. I don't know what happened to her today. I feel like its all my fault and I'm a bad parent. The only thing I know she knew I was preoccupied with the class so she pushed my buttons. She does that when I'm doing someones hair at my house and she gets sneaky and into things because I cant give her 100 and 10 % of my attention. I'm so frustrated from today I just needed to vent. O Ash! Through all of that I still love you.
On a lighter note. I must share this. While I was teaching my lesson on reverence. I asked the kids in my class what are some things we shouldn't do at church. One of the kids said you shouldn't kick your brother at church. I agreed, and then the kid said I can only kick him at home.
