I am sure you all can imagine how crazy it is around here with 2 teenagers and 2 four year olds. Well...............to say the least, it's nuts. We are struggling with the "precious" attitudes of teenagers and it stinks. We have heard it all, "I hate you, I don't ever want to see your face again and I want to live with my dad." I have heard all the horror stories and they are so true and then much more. I have cried more and more wondering what in the world I did wrong and what to do to fix it. Well.................................have learned that it doesn't matter. It's what happens.
We are working through it all and letting Savannah help choose her groundings and what she thinks is "fair". We just did this 2 weeks ago and are coming up on the 3 rd week when she should get her progress report which could mean she is grounded again. Just depends on her Algebra grade. She made the rules this time and said that there wouldn't be any arguing, so we will see in a week or so.
I still love my children dearly, but I have to admit this is the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. We are starting to take more and more time for them. Don't tell anyone, but I am keeping them out of school Thursday to do a part of the trail ride for the rodeo. We have always wanted to do this and Dwayne is going to stay home with the boys for us to do this. It should be a lot of fun. I will post pics when we get done. The girls will also go to work w/ me at the rodeo this year. Savannah wants to do a Tues night during spring break and Brooke wants to do a Saturday. See how that goes.
Well, I am off again to take care of me. Dentist! Whoo hoo!!!
Post again soon, I promise.
