As I sit down this morning I do so very unwillingly. I am totally pushing myself to keep this up and it is only day 2. I had a bit of a trying day yesterday, I had to go grocery shopping...(dots indicate the dum, dum, dum music) I got home late by about 5 minutes and my middle school son was already home "shuffling" around the front yard, I tossed him the keys to unlock the door and as I was on my way up with the first load of groceries I noticed dog poop shoe print on the porch. I screamed for son to stop and get out of the house and then we proceeded to have an argument about how it couldn't have been him. What? There was poop marks right under his shoe, he then said, "I think I would know if I stepped in dog crap" Really? You were the one walking around the yard when I got here the same yard that the dog uses for her latrine and has for the past 3 years? The response I got was I wasn't walking I was doing this (shuffling action). It did end with him cleaning up the (not so) mysterious mess off the carpet.
About 15 minutes later I get an insubordination paper that he had to have a parent sign so he could take it back today. After a screaming poop match you didn't think that this would be the time to start forging your parents signature? I would have been like okay, time to learn how to write dad's signature..... Apparently there is a no gum chewing rule at the Middle School, we had a previous discussion of this rule because of a conversation with a classmates mother. He was asked to spit his gum out, did so and then on his way back to his desk put another piece in. ARGH!!!
We even had another incident after his piano lessons and he said he wished I would just leave so I did, and this is where I found the positive part. The jeans I love were on sale at the mall, they are just the right length and have enough stretch in them that I can wear a size smaller than normal and still feel comfy. Thank You Maurice brand jeans. I also walked past the Hallmark store and noticed the 75% off Christmas and got some ornaments for next year the fancy Hallmark ones and I now want to go back and get more. I will single handedly help our economy get back on its feet!
Here's to another day!
