In My Own Words

In my own words....Well, I'm opinionated often wrong and woman enough to admit it. But, I laugh a lot and grip some...ok alot too!. Parenting memories...the day I found out my son had enough detention for the next year and the same teacher that made him earn recess back. She never gave an inch! Wow...pet peevea..hmm... A parent that says her child never could, or would. Kids do and Will! Ore kids that are nver made to apologize when rude or wrong. When my kids have dinner started and the table set. When my middle remember to take out the trash...It's the little things. Typical day? Ok are you ready? I get up at 3:30am...go to work....drive to Scottsdale, return home by 4 or 5pm. Travel for business trips and hope my house is still standing. Hubbie has opposing schedule has worked the 2nd or 3rd shift for as long as we are married. Not easy to keep kids in line, but we do...mostly. Thank goodness I can still afford the cell phones!

Parents I'd Like to Meet

Parents that are honest concerned parents. Those that have preteens. These are the ugly years I'm told and we need to band together. ***I have one child that has a reading problem.... And I have a girl...need I say more?
