But my kids are driving me crazy today. Daughter number one thinks that I exsist to be her personal taxi driver and when I don't jump right up and drive her where she desperately needs to go, then I am a bad mother. ARGH! Today while I was driving her to karate, she had the audacity to sit in the car and tell me what a bad mother I was. She actually told me I had no pride! To which I said "You are absolutely right". "As your mother, I let you talk to me like a piece of crap on the street which shows you that I have no pride in myself". Things are going to be changing around here post haste. By letting her talk to me that way and not holding her accountable, she thinks that I have no pride in myself. So, look for some posts of me begging for support as I go through this tough time with daughter number one. She is going to be having a lot of consequences for her behavior, in fact this has already started. I would never let any adult talk to me this way, why on earth would I let a 15 year old?
And as far as daughter #2, whine, whine, whine! I can't stand the whine anymore. I told her the other day that my ears don't hear whine and that seems to help, but OMG do I just want to put ear plugs in or what? I took her to see the free movies today and we watched Nanny McPhee which I thought was really great. I think it was way over her head, but she insisted. It was either that or Curious George again and I didn't think I could take that again this week. I really wanted to see Flushed Away, but well, it's not about me is it? LOL!
And Cheryl continues to toil away at her job. I appreciate her working so that we can have all the things that most people take for granted. Our Hanna order arrived today and there was the cutest pink dot dress w/the opposite striped leggings and 4 out of 5 tights that we need for winter. Daughter number 2 should be all set.
One more shout out. I purchased my first Oilily from Little Luna Blue and was really disappointed. After talking with Anna, the owner, I am returning this one and she is sending me another one that she thinks I will like better. Wonderful customer service and cute, cute clothes. Visit her sometime would ya? And tell her I sent ya!

As for your 15yr old lump of adolescence ... I have no experience with this. I'll be learning from you on this one, but you can let her know that at 15, she is still "Best seen and not heard". At 18, she can choose to be an adult.
Well, as a matter of fact, you do serve to be their personal chauffeur - and laundry woman, housekeeper, cook, and accountant - NOT!!!! Gads, they drive me crazy, too. Cole thinks that I just "don't understand" anything. He kept insisting to me that I didn't know what a bong was (I said, "Trust me on this one, Toots. That is NOT a bong, is a hooka pipe"). And as for Katie - well, maybe she and Kendall can get together and have some cheese with that whine. There'd be plenty for all....
Yes Wendy I hear you! DD needed her cell phone fixed and it was so bad they gave us a new one.Her question to me was is it a crappy one?!! Needless to say she won't be getting her phone until she gets back from her dad's this summer
Just a suggestion - when I was around that age and my mom got tired of driving me around, she instituted a system whereby I would do chores for her and keep track of the amount of time I spent doing them (not the things I was expected to do on a regular basis, but extra things like cleaning the windows), and then I could use that time to have her drive me places without her complaining. It worked well for both of us, I think. Might it work for you?
Hey Wendy - it's not *all* about you, but it has to be *some* about you - go watch your flushing movie....if daughter number two is going to whine *anyway*, at least make yourself happy! :)
Hey, if this goes through, I'm no longer a blogger virgin!
Yay! No longer a blogger virgin!
('Cause it's all about *me*!)
