I have finally come to the conclusion that even if there was an instruction manual for raising teens it would always be out of date even if updated daily.

I thought I would be nice and let the kids sleep in this morning and give them a ride to school because the other morning Megan had gotten it in her head that she could sleep in because she had a big math test that day and everybody was doing it. One small problem she didn't mention it to me and so the yelling and screaming etc. occurred and she was late for school. Well this morning I didn't wake her till 7 and she fell back asleep and I woke her at 7:15 and she was yelling at me because she had to ride the bus this morning. Oh my god I can't win. Then I tried to help her get ready and took her racing suit out of her swim bag and put in her practice suit and she flipped about that. Last I knew she was only wearing the racing suit for meets and the other for practice. So I got yelled at twice this morning for trying to be nice. I told her if she was going to change the rules she needs to let me know.

Sean on the other hand is trying to be more helpful and less mean to me since I pass worded his computer and grounded him for the week for his behavior Wednesday morning. I just hope it last.

Sara pulled an all nighter last night to get stuff done for school today. She is sooooo an O'Brien with the last minute crap. But like all O'Briens they seem to do their best when under the gun to finish something too bad the rest of us suffer in the process. Though I have to admit she was not as ugly this morning as per her usual persona.

Well Off to pick up the college boy for his spring break and hopefully to figure out why and how to fix his blood pressure problem before it causes problems.

Stay safe, stay warm, feel loved.
