Dude, where is our spare time?

Summarizing 2013

Looking back at our blog and realizing 2013 flew by, so fast I had not posted in a year. From time to time I thought about the blog, but something took over the time frame in which to write and post. So here is a bit of why I haven't posted in awhile

Bone graft surgery, IEP, IEP, IEP, Marching Band, 123, 123, 123, Drive the roads, even on Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, RAD, RAD, RAD, Braces, Spacers, Head gears, fights, tears, sickness, job change(s), Boy friend, driving boy friend, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on the teens, garden, pool, acres, school, animals, fools.

The biggest time consumer of all is trying to love and grow the children who resist teaching and love. Love them like they are, stop with so much re-teaching. The control freak in me wishes that they would learn the basics once and for all because there are many more interesting things to learn. The bottom line, these are God's kids and God needs to handle em:) Guess that's why he gave y'all a mama. Hee hee hee....


OK, one last time, you rugrats who are reading this, and with all the phonics and ELL this year, yeah, you, master of everything but the short sound of the letter (I), you should all be able to read now............ change your underwear, turn your clothes right side out, brush your teeth, turn off the lights, make up your bed, do your laundry, study, get off your bits, put down the Kindle, go outside, stay in the driveway, clean the litter box, pack your lunch, sweep the porch, throw away your trash, don't step on books, don't ride books, don't bend books backwards hurting the book spine, go to bed, get up earlier, stop pretending you are pathetic, no you can't have a snack right before dinner, wipe your butt everytime, don't lay in cat barf, wash your hands after school, comb your hair, clean out the drain you long haired freak, stop stealing my makeup, bring my nailpolish remover back, hang up your towel, stop being helpless, you know who you are, smile once in awhile, join your siblings, stop screaming in people's ears, kissing people who don't want to kiss you, kicking people at lunch, humming during class, knocking kids down while running into school, stop envy, stop conniving behavior, stop calling Daddy "d", SAY YES MAM FOOL, WE LIVE IN THE SOUTH, start to think about college and what you are going to be, Winter coats don't go in the laundry every day, read a book, we don't wear different pajamas every night, we don't change clothes three times a day, the living room floor isn't where Legos are stored, no, everyone doesn't want to watch Bossanova play Gremlin in basketball on ESPN for the fifth time, make a few goals, stop borrowing money from your younger siblings, stop eating so much junk, put down the cookies and pick up your toothbrush more often, stop with the freaking SELFIES, love your siblings more, and never forget, that when I remind you of all these things..........I am reminding you because I Love YOU. And if you don't like this kind of love, some of your drill sergeants will repeat all of the above until you have given of your time to Uncle Sam! Then you may pass go, collect 200 dollars and begin your own adult life, where I hope you all have children exactly like yourselves.
