Sara got grounded yesterday. Since we moved here she has gained one bad attitude, but she is still one smart cookie. Any suggestions on how to break this bad attitude she is gaining from school? I have a very good mother, that I wish I had listen to more when I was a kid, but if I would have talked back to her the way my oldest tries to talk back, I would have had one sore red rear end and would have been grounded for several days. Kayley and Logan, my two middle children, do chores without complaining and, well Logan rarely talks back. Maybe it is a girl thing? I am not trying to compare my kids to each other, they are all smart, unique, and very special to me, it is just something I have noticed recently.
I accomplished alot yesterday, even though you can't really tell. I maintained everything I previously had finished, organized my curriculum for next year, cleared and organized an area for my kids desk, did the dishes, played with the kids outside, did some laundry, and cooked dinner. Today it looks like we are having pork chops for dinner, and I am going to finally finish getting all these clean clothes out of my living room. Of course, I need to do a load of dishes, pick up the living room again, work on a menu plan for the rest of the month, and make the grocery list for tomorrow. Whew... I have more to do then I thought.
I have tons of cookbooks, recipe cards, and family recipes. I am considering posting one with every other blog I post and a inspirational quote for thought on the other posts. Let me know what you think and/or if you would be interested.
My kids give me a headache often, annoy me, and can get pretty loud, but I love them all and wouldn't change them for the world. I love getting their hugs and kisses. They make me smile. They make me laugh, and a few times cry. I can't believe (now) that I had a life without them, before giving birth. My family is my world.
