Parents of Teenagers: Not a Great Day
http://parentsofthemovement.blogspot.com/2011/06/not-great-day.html
Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Not a Great Day. Today was one of those days. I would be remiss if I quantified it as a "bad" day because, in light of real tragedy and suffering, this doesn't even make the ranks. But, I sure didn't have a great day. Apparently I took toddlers disguised as teenagers shopping. Picture a girly girl in Ulta (who recently lost a make-up bag.grrr) and a hulking pubescent 15 year old discovering the novelty of round-brushes and you can see my fun. After about 30 aimless m...It was on...

Parents of Teenagers: Take a Breath and Relax
http://parentsofthemovement.blogspot.com/2010/05/take-breath-and-relax.html
Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Take a Breath and Relax. Yes, the 2 by 4 left a mark. And yes, the wallop felt good. Well, not great but.needed. I am just being honest here. I do. Live in fear that I will ruin "my girl". Not all. Of the time but, definitely some. So, I am going to let myself off the hook for all the things I have done "wrong" and just take a breath and relax. May 11, 2010 at 2:35 PM. You mean you had lunch with my mom? May 11, 2010 at 4:30 PM. May 11, 2010 at 5:42 PM. View my complete profile.

Parents of Teenagers: Jackpot!
http://parentsofthemovement.blogspot.com/2011/03/jackpot.html
Monday, March 21, 2011. I took the kids to 7-11 yesterday for Slurpees after Grace's lacrosse game. A woman in line ahead of us was buying lottery tickets. Curious, we asked if the Mega Millions was really at $244 million. After a yes from the store clerk my next question was, 'when is the next drawing? About an hour later, as I was making dinner and Noah was sitting in the kitchen on the computer doing homework, he asks:. What if you win mom? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Parents of Teenagers: The Perfect Gift
http://parentsofthemovement.blogspot.com/2010/05/perfect-gift.html
Sunday, May 9, 2010. My children cleaned the whole house while I was at church this morning! The dishes were done and the kitchen was spotless. Grace mopped the kitchen floor and cleaned the bathroom mirrors. The house was dusted, vacuumed and Noah folded laundry! And for effect, Grace lit candles. Wow, Happy Mother's Day to me. Is a whole other blog post. May 11, 2010 at 3:30 PM. The fact that they knew that would bless you the most is priceless! My mind wandered all over your home thinking of them scur...

Parents of Teenagers: May 2010

Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Books I am Reading. I have a couple of books by Dr. Dobson that I am currently reading: Bringing Up Boys and Bringing Up Girls. Yesterday, I was reading Bringing up Girls. Needless to say, I promptly book marked my spot and invited Grace to make dinner with me. I was met with a 'Mom, can I show you plans for my room first? This answer was not as easy at it sounds because I was on a time constraint and inviting her to MAKE dinner was already a huge deal for me. (I am a bit of ...

Parents of Teenagers: The Comparison Game
http://parentsofthemovement.blogspot.com/2011/03/comparison-game.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. So here we are, 15 years later with a freshman and an eighth grader who are trying to make their own way and live in and amongst each others shadows. Noah: I could have left him on a corner at age 2 and he would find a way to a) make it home or b) find a new family. Grace: She was my back pocket child. She literally, held onto my back pocket while out in public for at least five years. Noah: He was far away from me and as out of sight as possible at a park or the beach. 6) Grace...
