Johannas POV

I wasn't in the mood to make a big dinner tonight so I pulled out a box of hamburger helper, it's not Katie's favorite, and there will probably be an argument, but it's food, and if she doesn't eat it then I guess she'll go to bed hungry. I pulled a pot out and filled it with water before putting it on the stove to boil. I went to the fridge and grabbed some green beans, "that'll do." I said grabbing a skillet out the cabinet. I put the bow tie noodles into the pot, putting a lid over it so it can boil. Then I open the bag of green beans, I grab the olive oil and drizzle it In the skillet, then I put about a half a cup of water in and a little bit of butter before I dump the green beans in.

I heard Katie walking down the hallway, "I cleaned my room mama." She said while walking into the kitchen. I nodded my head, "let's go see." I said, I walked past her and down the hallway to her room. I opened the door and turned the light on. "Okay, I see. Good job baby." I said while walking around. I was looking when I noticed a red spot on the carpet. I walked over and squatted down, picking up Katie's messy mat, "Katie!" I heard her run down the hall. "Yes?" I turned around and looked at her, "what is that?" I asked pointing to the spot of paint on my carpet. "Uhh, I don't know..." I raised my eye brows, "Katie, don't lie to me." She looked to the ground, "I got paint on the carpet...but I didn't mean to!" I rubbed my temples and tried to breathe. "Stay here." I said, walking past her and out the room. I grabbed a bowl and filled it up with hot water, I grabbed a scrub brush, soap and some carpet cleaner then walked back to her room. I set it all down on the table and looked at her. "I want you to clean it up, I will come in here and check in 15 minutes. I want that gone Katie!" I said sternly and walked out the room. Running my hands through my hair.

I finished cooking dinner, I threw together a quick salad with the hamburger helper and then poured myself a glass of wine, "tonight is gonna be a long night." I mumbled before taking a sip.

I walked down the hall to check on Katie's progress. I peeked in the room, leaning against the door frame as she scrubbed in circles. I walked over to her, leaning over to see, she got it out, but she didn't stop scrubbing. I continued to watch her as she dipped the sponge in the bowl of water and soap and scrubbed some more. I let this go on for another five minutes before I made my presence known. I squatted down next to her, "that's enough baby, you got it." I said, taking the sponge out of her hands. "I'm sorry mama." She said, sitting back on her knees. "I know." I reassured her. "Bring the stuff into the kitchen." I said standing up. She gathered everything up and followed behind me. She put everything away and then washed her hands. "Go sit" I said to her, she went and sat in her spot, looking down at the table. I grabbed her princess plate and her sippy cup, I filled her cup up with water, then I scooped the hamburger helper on the plate and some salad. I made my plate, putting extra salad on mine and walked our plates over to the table. She looked up when I sat her plate down, looking at it in disgust. "Mama..." I shushed her and held my hand up. "I don't want to hear it Katie. I've had a very tiring day, I don't want to fight with you about dinner. Now eat or don't eat, it's your decision." She lowered her head and didn't say anything, I set her sippy cup down next to her and then I sat down and started to eat.

About halfway through I realized she wasn't eating, I sighed and looked at her, "you have to eat Katie. I know you don't like it but you have to." I said sternly, pulling my chair closer to her, I grabbed her fork and stabbed some food, putting it by her mouth. "Open" I said, she continued to stare at the table. "Katie..."

I have no idea what has gotten in to her today but she shoved her plate away from her and it slammed onto the floor, "I don't want it!" She screamed at me. I slammed my fist onto the table, I grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the chair, pulling her down the hallway and into her room. "Go sit in the chair!" I said loudly and sternly. She ran over to the chair and sat down, "you're so mean!" She screamed at me, it took everything in me not to pull her shorts down and beat her ass right there, but I knew I had to cool down before I punished her. I walked over to her and grabbed her face, pointing it up towards me, "I'm going to take a shower, when I get out you and I will have a word. Keep that butt in this chair." I said before walking out of the room, I closed the door and walked away.

I stood under the hot water, letting it get my body wet, taking deep breath's. I spent about 20 minutes in there, making sure I was calm and collected before I went to speak with her.

I got dressed, putting on a pair of new pajamas, silky shorts and a black tank top, I grabbed my robe and wrapped it around me before walking down to her room.

There she was sitting in the corner, her head leaning against the wall. "Katie, come on." I said to her, she turned around and looked at me, a smug look on her face. She stood up and walked over to me, her head bowed down. I grab her hand and bring her to our room. She sat on the end of the bed and I stood in front of her, ready for my lecture.
