I guess this is one club we would rather have a limited membership. PSM would qualify with the teens, but I think hers are more sensible then our boys.a1mamacat wrote:I hear you, sister.
Christie....looks like we have a new member of the club. We'll have to change the name to mothersofteenswhohavetheirheadsuptheirbutts.
Except I think in this case she wants to give her mom away.
PSM, what number is currently on track to win the pool?

So did she wake the famiy at 4 am by taking a shower in the girls' bathroom, today? Has she reminisced about what an idyllic childhood you had and how it contrasts to the horrible behavior of your own girls?

I am awaiting a grade from Maddie's Honors Algebra II/Trig final. She didn't study as much as I thought that she should. For last semesters final, she got a 98% and she knew the minute that she took it that she nailed it.
She thinks that she got between 90% and 95% on this one, so I am worried. If she gets anything but an A on the final, she won't have an A in the class.
She didn't study as much for this test because she found out the line-up of plays for next year and she was obessing about what role would suit her best.
I think this qualifies for having a kid with her head up her butt.

Jeff and I went on a date yesterday and I tried to convince him to see it. He refused. We saw "What Happens in Vegas" instead.fuzzywuzzy wrote:If you like rain, hail, tornadoes, and flash floods...you are more than wlecome to come to the fuzzy house in Kansas City!PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:One mother.I think its a good home!

I have a strange philisophy about teachers, I guess. I believe that they are underpaid and underappreciated for what they do.
I always send in cookies and gifts for the Holidays, Teacher Appreciation Day and the Last Day of School for all of the girls' teachers and others who make an impact on them. (Librarians, students teachers, etc.)
On the last day of school, I ask my girls to write their teacher a letter letting them know, giving specific examples, of some way that the teacher has made an impact on their lives.

That's REALLY nice. I have a lot of friends who are teachers and I know to get a letter like that would make the whole year worth it. Most teachers do it for the love of the kids, and deal with the fact that they are underpaid...but to know you touch even one child...makes you remember why you chose the profession in the first place. What a wonderful lesson to teach your girls!PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:I have a strange philisophy about teachers, I guess. I believe that they are underpaid and underappreciated for what they do.
