I think we have officially hit teenagerhood at our house. It is tough and no fun, at times. Laura and I are barely speaking. This makes me grumpy with the whole world. I love my Laura so much, but lately, it's a good day if we grumble happily at each other. It feels as though I am worse than dirt to her. I know this will pass, but I think it is passing like a gall stone. Please say a prayer for us and our communication.
My sister is back home with my parents. Lots of stuff going on that I can't get into, but it's a mess. I do feel better knowing the children are safe.
Last weekend, I spent most of Saturday in class. I was amazed, when I got home, because the family had done 3/4 of the Saturday chores. This was a REAL treat. I have been grateful fever since. Sunday, we went to Elitch Gardens to squeeze out one more day of summer. It was hot and super crowded. We squeezed out summer, let's toss it, and bring on the fall. It seems as though our cadet is super busy this semester, so he couldn't go with us. We miss him, but we are hoping to catch some of his football games.
On Friday, the administrators at my school, blessed us with a new room. I am so in love with our new, bigger space. I think my boys are going to just love it.
That's it for now, off to school to write yet another IEP.
TTFN.

What you're saying makes me think of the book I'm reading, Wild Things, which talks about the different stages boys go through as they grow up -- I think the teenager years can be tough no matter the gender. I was tough on my mom but my sister wasn't. It's an almost impossible constant balancing act of love and let go, love and let go. I feel for you and dread it already for when our time comes.
Shari as you sister and with a little know how. Just remember do not take it personal. But think about what Laura is going through could be boys,could be grades could be anything. It is not cool sometimes to tell mom everything you just have to put your mom feelers on and keep an eye on things and open as much communication as she will allow she is feeling her space she stuck in being an adult and being a child and it can be confusing maybe you should call me and we'll chat. I love you and I understand
