Introduction

I truthfully never thought I would sit down and blog. Here I am, actually becoming " One of those blogger's" thinking of all the things that everyone sits around and blogs about. I am, in no way a professional writer or author. I did not sign up for this to be able to win any awards or merits. My husband and I just decided that we have such and INTERESTING life, why not. So here it goes...

Today is of course no ordinary day. It turns out to be my two "know it all teenagers" last day of school. They decided at the last minute last night, that they would tell my husband and I, " We have two finals, a PowerPoint and paper to write, and they are all due to tomorrow. " Are you really kidding me" I just wanted to go and crawl up inside a shell and stay there. I should go ahead and fill my readers in a little bit about my family. I am married to the most awesome man in the universe. I have four amazing children. One daughter who is fourteen, a son who is thirteen, a son who is eight and a son who is four going on twenty four. I home school all of my children and of course you ask " What are you thinking" yes, I ask that same question day in and day out. So, now that you can visualize the children my two older ones are probably not excited that they are at home school group today.

10:00 p.m last night and they have how many finals due tomorrow? I don't think anyone wanted to be in my house at 7 a.m this morning. " What's for lunch" there isn't anything. " Quit smacking, please" "It figures we are going to be late", " I am so glad today is the last day of school" and the list went on and on. " Really?" I don't think I could answer any of these when they were being directed towards me, since my husband was already late for work, printing what we call the midnight madness reports. I just patiently as I could, walked over and poured my coffee as if I was still in my own little world and I kind of just blocked them out or who knows what God would of had me say. I anxiously grabbed my keys and coffee, and said " Whoever is going with me, let's go" at first, no one moved. I was like " I am not the one who is going to school" let's go NOW. They started to crawl, then moved a bit faster. Was I really dealing with children who were upset and mad at the world for their own irresponsible selfish behavior? I think I already feel better about the situation since I can actually blog it now and hopefully come to a sense of understanding that others out in our world must relate. I drop off the kids to school, and have a peaceful ride home and I cant help to think that while they are complacent with themselves, I am driving home wondering how in the world did I ever make it as a teen?

I walk into the house and decide that today is the day that I have to blog. I sit here in peacefulness and my eight year old and four year old just laugh. Really? I wish after the night I had last night that I could laugh with them. They just do not have a clue at that age. My four year old says " I think its past the hungry time, I still have no cereal, I would like chips with that please" I guess at this point in the day, my coffee has kicked in and taken over and I said " You got it, whatever you want" Sun chips and fruit loops it is. I have to sit and ask myself after his 4 year old well check-up yesterday and 3 shots, can he pretty much persuade me into anything at this point? Well, yes. As I listen to the younger two upstairs fight and argue and try to win one another over, I quietly type away before I know that I have to go intervene. I think for a mid morning blog, I will wrap it up for now as I go fix another cup of coffee and go play referee. Happy Tuesday.
