It's that time of year again. I've got the school supply lists ready and need to buy back to school clothes. My plan is to do it this weekend, over two days. Supplies on Saturday, clothes Sunday. But, it's already noon on Saturday and I REFUSE to take all the kids. They are acting like complete monsters today! It's been everything I can do to not completely freak the heck out!
I received a call from an old high school friend today who I haven't spoken with in probably 15 years. We were on the phone for 35 minutes. Do you think my kids showed me enough respect to give me 35 lousy minutes? Nope. They didn't even give me 5 minutes. I was constantly having to correct them or referee. I finally went in the back yard, but they followed me there, too.
Why do they do that? The lack of respect is so disappointing, sometimes. And now, after they have shown me no respect, I'm going to go buy hundreds of dollars worth of school supplies.
What's wrong with this picture!
