I don’t know what it is: whether it’s mid-age hormones, missing “that time” last week for no real reason, my son treating me like crap this morning, very annoying co-workers or life in...

Well, here is one good thing: just paid off the joint credit card with some of the tax money. Once the check clears, I’m getting my name off that card! Unfortunately, there’s not as much $ as I...

Last night during dinner I received a call from my son’s guidance counselor. Apparently my son did not hand in the big science project that was due that day. Now, I had been nagging him...

What do you know -- my son was happy when I got home from work last night!  I told him he seems to be following a pattern:  if he's cranky in the morning, he's happy in the evening & vice versa. ...

I had Good Friday off & the entire weekend was sunny & in the 70s!  Couldn't ask for better weather.The other day, my son actually WANTED to go outside & play & got his sister & dad to go in the...

As an indirect result of April Fool's day,  my son & daughter got into an argument.  He tried to hit her with his belt, but fortunately didn't get close enough to really hurt her.  Mainly her...

So when I get home yesterday, my son was waiting for me. He wanted to apologize for running late & being nasty in the morning & gave me a hug.  But by the time he went to bed he was back to his...

A step forward, a step back.  He was late again today.  20 after 7 (which is the latest we should be in the car) & I'm going in his room to get his laundry & he's still putting on his belt.  I nag...

Well, yesterday my son went to youth group again--2nd week in a row.  I'm really glad.  He wanted to stay up some more when he got home, but I didn't want him getting to bed too late.  I reminded...

Well, my son was back to his nasty self this morning when I brought him to school.  Which put me in a crappy mood (and I was tired to begin with, since I stayed up late talking to a friend).  He...

Just got an email from my son's algebra teacher (which usually scares me).  He got a 100% on his algebra test the other day!!  (He's been failing all year.)YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!His teacher is psyched &...

Yesterday, my son went to youth group.  I think he really liked it.  He talked about "my friends".Tonight, instead of sorting his Yu-Gi-Oh cards in his room, he came to the living room to do it...

So…I figured out a 6th alternative as far as our money goes:  get off direct deposit & get the cash in my hands.  Pay all but the automatic withdrawals with money order; deposit cash for...

So my husband did not try to sabatoge anything, nor did he make a "big deal".  I just got there, told him why we were going & we went.However, when we came home, he did ask how it went & said...

Going to the center today.  My husband was going to be picking up my daughter from school as I was picking up my son, but school has been cancelled today, so I am going to have to deal with him...
