I don't even know how I'm going to handle it when my oldest is about to start driving. >.< I hope I figure something out because whether I like it or not, they're growing up. :'( Thanks, Brandee!

I don't have any words of wisdom for you. But I will say that I think you'll figure it out...because you care! You're a good momma, Jennifer! :)Bookworm Brandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834408515209743135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-30080451688903314192013-12-24T17:08:15.769-05:002013-12-24T17:08:15.769-05:00Hey Robyn, I'm so sorry I've taken so long...Hey Robyn, I'm so sorry I've taken so long to get back to you! >.< <br /><br />I know - the back talking has got to go! It gets me, too. My dad put the fear of God in me, lol. I never spoke back to him - maybe a few times once I turned 18. I always got caught in my lies. Our town is too small to be anywhere other than where you say you are. One time before a high school football game, he didn't want me to ride with any new drivers, but I did. He was going to the bank across the street and totally caught me going into the candy store. He was close enough to catch me, but too far away to give me hell until I got home after the game. LOL! <br /><br />I'd almost rather get a "never mind" than no answer at all, lol. But I know I wouldn't feel like that if that's what Janie actually started saying. That's so cute he sings to Taylor Swift! Janie LOVES her! Haha, never mind! ;) <br /><br />I know what you mean about John hitting eleven 'cause I feel the same way about Jack turning 11. Jack is totally going to cause me to get calls from the principal's office when he goes into kindergarten. I've already warned his teacher (they give siblings the same teachers for each grade) that he's a hellion, lol. <br /><br />Thank you so much, Robyn. You probably have no idea how much your words mean to me. Especially because 99% I feel like such a failure that I don't feel like I'm my mother's daughter. You have the honor of being the first member of my support group. :)~Jennifer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05952809868354553112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-39197351535582500682013-12-20T18:51:27.053-05:002013-12-20T18:51:27.053-05:00Oh my gosh, it's the back talking that really ...Oh my gosh, it's the back talking that really gets me. I don't know how my mom put the fear of God into her rules, but I didn't break them. Okay, I did, but I never talked back to her and when I lied it was like a scared mouse lying to Brutus the junkyard dog! Will's latest thing is "never mind." I'll ask him about his day, "never mind." I'll ask him why he looks sad..."never mind." When he sings to Tayler Swift in the car and I ask him if he likes her, you guessed it. When John hits eleven I better have this thing down because he's going to be trouble! He's trouble already. First day of preschool and he's in a timeout. Sees a pretty girl and he tells her she's beautiful. Sees a tatted up pierced up cranky man climbing off his motorcycle, John is in hero worship mode. "Wow." That's it. And he's five. And smart. Today he asked me, "Do you know what 3 + 3 + 2 is?" I had to add it up in my head! He answered before me. Dangit! <br /><br />I would have freaked about the new friends. I would have been sad about the pictures thing. But you are amazing, an inspiration. You're your mom's daughter that's for sure because there's so much love and faith and hope for your kids. Plus, you and your husband are so with it. She'll always look for you. That's the way it works. I want to be in your support group.robgirlbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398614063792587098noreply@blogger.com
