Teenagers!Arghhhhhh!

As much as I love my son, he can drive me absolutely insane. He had a career day field trip and he ended up screwing around and getting into trouble, I expect so much more out of him, but he had an audiance. He called and said that he had to stay after school and I told him I was disappointed in him and he hung up on me. Yikes! Needless to say, there was more to the story and I won't go into it, but I ended up unhooking his computer and took away his cell phone. He'll probably get the phone back on Monday, long boring weekend for him, but oh well, the computer on the other hand, has to be earned back. At his school, you go up a level each week and I told him he doesn't get the computer back until he gets to A level, which can take 6 weeks. I feel I might be a little hard on him, but he needs to learn to control himself. He's still able to play basketball in our driveway with friends but they cannot come into the house until he learns to behave and he still has his t.v. So it's not like it was when I was grounded. I'm just a softy and feel bad, but I have to stand my ground because he is getting older and he is only going to walk all over me, so, I'll be tough and disliked for a while. I'll live with it, he doesn't hold a grudge, but he will try to sway me, so I need to be strong. Big sigh.

On another note, I am going to go shopping for some chunky-heeled black(cheap) shoes to wear when hubby and I celebrate the anniversary. He's working his tail off tonight so I won't worry about the bills, so I will enjoy myself no matter what, because I want to make him happy. I just feel bad about him having to work overtime, I would do it, but unfortunately, I don't get a lot of hours with my job right now. It's actually driving me nuts. I have a job I like and I only get to go for sure on Saturdays and whenever Karen wants off. The plus side is that she has 5 weeks of vacation coming to her, and she plans on taking some when it warms up. But I want to work now. "stamping feet"

Erin has been so wound up lately. She is just so giggly and loud. It's cute for a while, but she just doesn't stop. I should be glad that she isn't screaming and unhappy. Plus, she is the princess. Tonight I told her that there will be another princess soon, and she smiled. I told her Trenton was going to bring a baby and it might be a girl, but she will be the first princess, Jayden will be the little princess. Erin just grinned at me. Sometimes, I think she understands more than I give her credit for.
