At dinner the Teenager asks me “Was a condom involved when you got pregnant with me?” Gasp. Speechless. Jaw on the floor. I didn’t even know what to say because he caught me so off guard. Having had him when I was only 17 he has questions to ask, fine but h-e-l-l-o. There are better ways and times of asking is all I’m sayin*
I seriously wonder how in the world I am going to survive these kids. I think they are trying to kill me. This is the lighter side of things - we won’t get into the nasty attitudes and pouting sessions. Or the fact that I want to punch my Husband in the face tonight.
I haven’t done any shopping yet. Not one single gift, gah! And I am sick AGAIN after being sick only 2 weeks ago but this time even worse. Everytime I cough my kids ask me if I am okay and I am pretty sure I am disrupting the neighbors. I have been taking Robitussin like a heroine addict shoots up.
The good news is I got caught up on two projects out of many last night. And I got a new job so I have some rearranging to do in my scheduling and some projects I will be dropping. Good stuff. I also got the kitchen clean which is amazing at this point.
And now I must go do my work blogging and projects while watching ER. T.G.I.F.

Kids, you gotta love em. Good luck with the new job and I hope you get healthy again real soon.
Oh, I am in a perpetual state of wanting to punch my husband in the face over something or other.
Heh, my jaw would be on the floor, too. I have been asked questions by my own children that have straight up knocked the wind right outta me. So I can only imagine what you must be going through. I don’t know if I will make it out of my kids’ teenage years with my sanity intact.
I definitely do not think my sanity will be intact after they are done. After today I think I might just run away and save myself ;)
Ouch!! What kind of question was that? LOL
I hope you get better!!
Funny how the world is round! I remember a specific day when my daughter at age 12, son 10, and daughter 8 were in the dinning room arguing about how many times mommy and daddy had sex. Christina sat up and said three times there are three of us!! I almost fell off my chair laughing. There were other incidents but that has been the most famous one. She might get mad at me but just wanted to put a little reminder and humor from MOM. Love you Chrissie hang in there.
I’m not mad, its a funny memory and I always say I am getting paid back – I know it ;)
Kids are here to remind us of ourselves. They add such a delightful pinch of spice. The whole thing is about development on both sides. As we challenge them, they challenge us right back. Though there are those days were you think you won, they pull the rug right out from under you and bam! Your on your a**! But that’s ok, when they have children the cycle will keep going, and it will be there turn :)
Lots of luv,

I do believe it is time for an update…
