emma got grounded from T.V for leaving her stuff in the car. So to keep her from watching T.V she put tape on her eyes.  When she looked at the T.V she couldn't watch what was on.

The above account was blogged by Emma. I will however explain truly why she was grounded. She had left her diabetic bag in the car but swore she had looked for it (several times). We had to use our "backup" supplies thinking that we would find it the next day. She then had to take the "backup supplies" to VBS because she still had not found her bag by the next day. After two hours at VBS she came to the Nursery saying that she couldn't find her meter and it turned out that the Eric, the guy in charge of the teen helpers, had all of them looking for it. I went out to my car to look for the meter in case it had fallen out and what did I find? Not only the "backup meter" sitting in plain sight on the floor, but also her purse which had all the original supplies in it also sitting in plain site on the floor. this had been after numerous times of "looking" in the car for it!! So, we took tv away. We save taking away books for the big things, she loves to read and is trying to get a gold medal through the school for a reading race they do during the summer.
