grounded ungrounded = in trouble

How would you write the following sentence please?

Tread lightly around me boy. You're mom might have ungrounded but in my eyes you are still ground until next week for having gotten suspended from school so don't push your luck.

Thank you

"Tread lightly around me , boy. " The verb "unground" is kind of a made-up word. It seems acceptable in this conversational setting though.
