Well, here I go again. Alot has happened since the last blog. As you remember my oldest went to college with his room in a wreck. Well, in between working 4-5 (12hr days) per week. I am saddened to say IT IS NOW A SEMI WRECK! But never fear I have ordered a new mattress and bed covers to help it out. And get this he didn't even tell me the freaking mattress had coils coming out of it. Enough to scratch concrete. And it was eaten up like I let a dog get a hold of it or something. But I pledge by MONDAY his room will have a new attitude and look. I may even post pics. He is off at college with a car no doubt and spending money and buying gas as if he's got a money tree and an Exxon gas tank outside his dorm window. He is a junior in college now but thinks like a junior in high school. No money budgeting senses at all. He wants to go to school of hard knocks and not listening to someone who's been there.
And as for the other two still at home, they think the sun and moon rises around them. Since school started they have brought home every letter of the alphabet with an emphasis on the C's, D's, and F's. I think they have had it too easy. I don't know if my working extra has had an impact on this or what. But this will be changing today. I will figure out a system to help them get back on track. I guess too many trips to DisneyWorld. They have been told the first set of kids (20 and 24yr old) did not bring grades home like this and this won't be tolerated either. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears or eyes.

Girl, get the whip out! Kids today got to have some discipline and structure and most importantly... EXPECTATIONS. So hold yours to a higher expectation and they'll strive to meet it! Good luck and prayers don't hurt either ;)
