Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll

 Oh wow. How life passes by so quickly. In just a blink of an eye kids grow. I found an old archive photo C.D. with pictures of my kids. I spent a good day going through the photos and just being in awe. How much I have changed, my husband, where we have lived, how we lived, mostly though, I was in awe over my kids.

 At one point in time they KISSED each other!!! Loved each other, and would even pose and let me dress them up!!! That is no more! HA! Even my best friends kids I seen pictures of and its just like WOW. Its only been a few short years, and yet the kids used to be BABIES and now they are teens, tweens, in school, snotty and all that. No more babies.


 I found out that my friends daughter, is now doing "grown up" things. Its her life, she's 16 (going on 24 right) and she thinks she knows it all, I remember being there, and I remember getting pregnant and not finishing school too. I knew the risks involved, I took the risks. It was my problem and although things were rough, I think I did a good job. I am not saying my friends daughter couldn't but I look at her just as I look at my own kids and I see a baby. I do not see a child that could put someone elses needs in front of her own for sure. I see a self involved teen that wants to spend 20.00 on make up and 40 on a pair of jeans. I wish I could somehow give her the wisdom we all lack at that age. Sex is not that great, especially not when your worried about if he's going to dump you, if your doing it right, if you might get pregnant ect. ect. ect. Its much funner when your married, allowed and know he's stuck with ya ;o)

 So when I am having a "Text" Conversation with my teen about this, she tells me she does not give in to peer pressure, and then lets me know she's been asked to smoke, do drugs and have sex, and declined each offer. Now don't get me wrong I am VERY pleased she has turned the offers down, but just knowing she's been OFFERED??? Makes me want to shit myself, and then grab her and never let her out of the house again. Did I say I would never homeschool??? I might change my mind on that one.

 SO I have to say I think, so far, I have raised a pretty great kid. Pretty great kids. Sure they try to kill each other, tell me they hate me, make big messes and talk back and turn into snots half the time... but they are good kids. I love them and I am lucky to have them. Sometimes I forget what life might be like and how dull it would be without them.

 Where does rock and roll come in on this blog? It doesn't. It just made for a catchy title.

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
