I know that I shouldn't be posting such a blog, but Jill told me that I can say whatever is on my mind, whether it sounds whinny or not. So here it goes.....I think we need to call in that Kick Xss Nanny that takes over your house and completely overhauls your children and parenting skills. Kirk and I work our butts off to give these boys everything we "think" they will need to be successful adults. .....well, let me tell you....I don't think it is working. K3 proceeded to get a very bad grade on his Math final Thursday which dropped his math grade to a B. I can't tell you how much effort we put into making sure the homework is getting done and all the support is there to do well. He is just not putting enough time into his homework. He is a social butterfly and a sports nut, but how does he think he can get into college (scholarships?) with this wishy-washy attitude about studying. I guess we will have to take back some of the freedoms?! Kraig is Mr. Procrastinator with a capital P. He went to a birthday/slumber party last night and then decides to start working on two projects that are due this week tonight. YIKES!! I don't know if he thinks he works better under pressure or what?! Konnor.....need I say more....as much as I love him, I think Boarding School may be a very viable option. He is in perpetual motion and is never quite happy enough with whatever you try to do for him. Not a happy camper....which in turn makes for a very STRESSFUL LIFE!! I know that this is what we got ourselves into when we signed up for Parenting 101, but Holy Cow....this sure ain't easy!!!
PS I decided in my next life to come back a cat!

i'm sorry it's difficult, Kristin!!! someday they'll thank you, right?! i hope so anyways!! seriously, i know i didn't appreciate everything my parents did til i WAS a parent. we need a scrap get-away SOON!
I say throw in the towel and let's go scrap at Jill's :) She's got a nice countertop bar area, a dining room table, and we could pull her table from her scrap room out into the living room. Whaddya say? Seriously though, Cory is just like Kraig, and ME, and he may just work better under pressure. Frustrating for you, I know, but if he gets it done? And K3, well, he knows Kristin. He'll get there. Just have faith girl, you're doing it all right.
Amen!! Count me in on the scrappin idea, I hope.
I share your grief, Kristin....much of my everyday struggles are just the same.....do they ever seem happy or appreciative? nope. nor do they believe we know that we're talking about.....hang in there and know somewhere in jackson there is another mom with 3 boys plunking along with you. :)
