Ask yourself...is it REALLY that important?

I have been in such a frikkin' weird mood lately. I guess the summer and all the stress it brought is finally getting to me. This summer I found out that I couldn't get financial aid for school, so I went through another program. They first approved me and then tried to deny me on a technicality. But FINALLY they approved me for funding to start in Jan. *claps* January seems so far away but I am old and wise enough to know that time never stands still for anyone. (off subject) Don't you hate it when your key board sort of rocks back and forth for no reason? There might be a reason...but I don't know what it is...yet.

Anyway...today is Sunday and next week is the last week of summer before the girls go BACK to school! *throws party*

Really I am sort of OVER the whole 'let's go swimming, let's spend the night, can so and so spend the night, all night on the phone, all day doing nothing' phase. I am ready for those kids to get their brain in gear and butts into class! Get your study on girlfriend, hahah! I am SOOOO happy that they will actually have some structure to their day. I can't tell you how much it irritates me when they sit around and argue for what seems like, NO REASON. Whatever

I am OVER it! If that seems childish of me, it is because I do feel childish! I feel like going maniac on their ass. Ok? If someone doesn't like it...then I'M SORRY. Sorry sorry sorry. Sorry that I am going to knock some heads together soon.

Several thoughts have gone through my mind lately. Murder not actually one of them...but something like it. Maybe like ...mental murder. Yeah. I feel like I am being mentally murdered. How can two kids argue about the same flippin' thing every single day?

This is what I hear...

"She treats me like I am her MAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID. (maid) I AM NOT HER MAID MOM."

(I'm not your toilet, quit pooping on me)

Err hmm *clears throat*

"Ok girls....(Child 2) isn't your maid. Clean up after YOURSELF."

(this applies to their room)

Anyway..I am ranting. They are breaking me down...I am trying to remain strong. Such is the life of a mom of 4 girls.

I am sure you all might have heard of this but..............(While I was Away)Another post already?

I'm certainly happy for you that school's starting. I probably would've lost it long before now.

My kids don't go back 'til early September...and, as you know, I hate it!

these times are stressful but also they must be cherished
just think if those screams or voices were to vanish
you would be missing even the quarrels.

take a deep breath and smile.. they are normal teens
and girls at that

You can do it Sarah I know it.

Aw man. Think back to when YOU were a teen, Sarah. (It's not as hard for you as it is for ME, cuz you don't have to go back as far as I do!) But I remember my teen years like they were yesterday (nevermind they were 30+ years ago!). I was a horrid child, and a knowitall to boot. I remember standing there arguing with my mother and racking my brain to think of the worst thing I could say to her to really hurt her. I would stand there and go I hate you and I wish ... I wish ... I wish ... I wish you were DEAD!!! And she'd look at me with this wise face and calmly tell me "I will be one day. And so will you." It took the wind right out of my sails.

Kids. Can't live with 'em, can't stab 'em in the eye with a No. 2 pencil.
