Miracles abound, I painted last night and today! Upon completion of this prose of outrageous entertainment I will again be spending more time with assorted brushes in my tingly hands! (No, His Majesty no longer causes my tingle, it's a neck disc thing) Working hard to complete the blue rose painting that the background gave me slight fits. I can't stand to start another with a previous piece left incomplete. I have promised to have a painting for our old middle school's fundraiser and cannot not find the photo I took of a tree that once stood on the grounds that I promised them I would paint. (Whew, that sentence was l-o-n-g) SuperSpouse and I saw it a few nights ago. That's going to be a problem.............Did I post the rose in progress photo?
VolleyGirl has a four day weekend. Yea, no rushing on Monday morning and then only four days of it. She has done some cleaning.....worse than pulling teeth to light a fire under that one. She is slightly motivated by a desire to attend a sleepover with her friends tomorrow night. Hey, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I would like a little input. Some of VolleyGirl's friends go places and attend games and movies minus an adult. I realize we keep a tight leash (learned from HRH!) but at 14 isn't that pushing it a little? Shouldn't we keep a closer eye til they mature a bit more? Will she not have 3 and a half more years to loosen the leash some. I mean, what will she have to look forward to by year 3? I want her to look older and learn more lessons on all the freaks out there. I watch and hear the girls together all the time when they get to talking and laughing. A mac truck could head towards them and they wouldn't be aware of it! Uh, unless it was a cute teenage boy driving it. To SS and my credit, BigBoy has done fine and his leash was short compared to many. Just a sayin'...........So what do you say?
I think you do a great job and to trust your instincts. BigBoy is such a sweetie, even if he doesn't want anyone to know. I know VolleyGirl is very different, but she's smart and has a strong sense of right and wrong. Keep the leash short but take her out often... how else will she get trained?? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's my two cents, of course I'm running a fever and hallucinating so ignore me completely.
