This Boy

Woo, Lord, please give me the strength not to strangle this boy.

I ask my son for his homework, so I could look it over. Lately he hasnt been doing all his work, or handing it in or something, so he's on punishment, and I'm being the warden until he gets his act together. So, I ask for his homework and he brings me one sheet of paper. Six or seven classes he has during the day, and he brings me one sheet of paper. Topping it off, the paper is dated April 12.

*staring into the camera*

Pardon me, but isnt it damn May now? He tells me it is for his term project, which is 25% of his grade. The same project he didnt hand in for another class, which BEEN due. The last marking period just started, so why would he think he could show me a paper for a project due at the end of last marking period, and think I wouldnt know it was some bullshit? I dont know either, but I was so furious at that moment, I decided to just make him take a shower and go to bed, because if I hit him, he'd need a real doctor. Now Im gonna make a visit to his school, because he is trying to play me, and I wanna have all the facts before I kick his ass.

*sigh*

But on a better note, I got the best voicemail ever yesterday. Every time I talk to my sister, she starts talking about wanting a kindle - you know those litle devices you download books to, to read while you are out and about? She wanted it for Christmas from her sons and didnt get it, cause they both broke lol, and she told them to get it for her for her birthday, in July, but I couldnt let that day come around and she still not have it, knowing how bad she wanted it.

So I decided I was going to buy it for her. I got it online on Friday and had it delivered yesterday. I somehow didnt hear my phone when it rang, but the voicemail she left was so excited, Im almost glad I missed the call. She told me she was so happy to get it and that it came at the perfect time, because she was kind of down in the dumps, and it just made her so happy, and she called me "the best little sister she ever had" LOL I was as happy as she was, just hearing the voicemail and the excitement in her voice. I was really glad I was able to do that for her. There is nothing better than getting that reaction from someone after you do something nice for them. Its almost better than being on the receiving end, for me. I feel like I've been blessed beyond comprehension and I love when I have the opportunity to pay it forward.

Its been a restful weekend, despite wanting to wring my son's neck, and now I guess I will watch the new episode of Mob Wives and get ready to make the donuts in the morning. I hope yall had a good weekend. I'll holla.
