Teenagers, Teenagers, Teenagers...

What is going on here? I feel like I am in a Twilight Zone episode...you know the one...the one where there's an alien living in your house? Right now alien count: 1 & a 1/2 ...I am going to go absolutely insane before 2020...that is when my youngest child is due to graduate...dang...that seems sooo far away....Ughhh cause it is! MAN!TEN YEARS! I have three kids in three different stages of life right now and I am about to go INSANE!

So what do I do until then. Felonies are not an option! I can't afford the bail...My youngest is still sweet, still hugs & kisses me. He is not ashamed to tell anyone he is a Momma's Boy. Which of course I think is sweet. My husband thinks that it's making him into a sissy! * Gasp! NO WAY!!! He doesn't get beat up on the bus or anything so we are good! FOR NOW!

But my oldest...ughhh everything is a debate. He says he is going to be an architect when he grows up but I am convinced otherwise...I was thinking more along the lines of Lawyer or Politician? I can say nothing right...unless it benefits him! I know one day I will get my sweet boy back (all my older friends keep telling me this) I am totally trusting them! My oldest is a goodlooking, smart, athletic boy and he knows it. Why he is so cocky...I do not know? Was it because when he was little I filled his head with positive things & high self esteems? Always telling him he was wonderful,number 1, great at everything? Damn did I do him an injustice...hopefully he'll outgrow it...or I will be a pain in his arse forever!


But like today...I was making his sandwich for his lunch and looked up at him to say good-bye and he now towers over me (not like that's hard) but he's almost 6ft. He said "Thanks Mom" and smiled! He does still allow me to pray over him which comforts me and I think it comforts him too.

My daughter is still sweet but she is dangling on the dark side...



a lil too much for my taste if you ask me...I have noticed that she is a little more emotional these days...she is 11...that horrid age! She calls herself a Tweener! How fitting! I like to call myself that too...but her Tweener is not that good...Somehow I can still hear my Dad saying "Just wait til you have kids...paybacks a b***h" Ughhh *Shaking my head! Grrr...I hate that he was right! With her it's just sooo much drama! This girl said this...this girl said that...I DON'T CARE! TELL THE LIL' B's TO SHUT IT...Probably not the best parenting advice but hey noone said I was Mother of The Year! Everyday it's a different drama...so much so that a reality show could set-up shop in my living room!

I just hope we can survive the next few years...it makes me really sad to think my oldest is starting high school...makes me sad *key sad violin type music here...makes me really sad...it takes me back to when he was little about 2 years old and all he wanted was me...he loved me and didn't talk back, just smiled and the little words that came from him were genuine and true...Ahhhh...memmories...cherish them...you know why? Cause sometimes that's all you got...everything else just gets sucked away...if you don't have a teenager...be grateful! For everyone else who will one day...Good Luck and I hope to see ya'll on the other side!
