I'm baaackkkk! I found that I've really missed having a place to share random thoughts, opinions, questions, etc, so here I am.
For today: Why do sixteen-year old boys have to act so much like sixteen-year old boys? As he walks in the door obviously hiding one side of his face from his fairly perceptive mom, I'm thinking, "Hmmm, what could this mean?" It means that he is sporting a huge cheek that subsequently became bigger and bigger and more and more bruised. Why you may ask? Because he and his "friends" thought it would be funny to videotape each other taking a punch in the face to post on YouTube. My response, bursting into tears. It was not my intention, but this may have been the best accidental punishment a 16-year old boy can be subjected to. (Moms--use this sparingly, but it does work.) So, in the scope of things, it could be worse. Although having to buy a new heating pad, pay for x-rays, having many "discussions" about choices which will probably make him think twice wasn't what I would have chosen, he's a great kid and I love him a lot!--just quit acting your age!

So what you are saying is they are destructive at every age?!?! ;) Just this time his face took the beating. Wow, I did giggle a little but also know it is going to come back and bite me. Instead of cry, I usually lock myself ni another room and scream when I get frustrated with the "choices" my little ones are making. ;)
