What do you call it??

When A Girl is dramatic you call her a drama queen. What do you call a boy when they are dramatic? My son is so dramatic at times, it just amazes me!! Last night he was doing his homework, which is always a chore, it was math. My husband was helping him while I made dinner, anyway, they did the measuring parts and all was well, so I thought! There are always three or four general math problems at the bottom of the sheet, adding and subtracting. My son does not do well with homework and thinks its stupid! He was sitting at the table for about 30 minutes (no exaggeration) sighing and moaning, after 30 minutes we ask him are you done? Then the drama began!! He was on problem two! Granted math isn't like it was when we were kids, but the outcome is the same. He starts freaking out because the problem was subtraction and he don't like *borrowing* from the other numbers. After 15 or 20 minutes of his whining I said "bring it here and let me see it" He said "I can't, I need to stay in one place to do my homework or I can't concentrate!" I was just about done with the whole situation (which my husband found rather amusing) I said don't do it then. He really freaked out. I think , if I remember it went something like this... Fine, I won't do it. I will get in trouble, They will kick me out of school, You will get in trouble and I will just be stupid for the rest of my life!! Thanks alot MOM! WOW!! What a ordeal! We let him calm down and eat dinner (which he also said it was not good to eat dinner before his homework was done, but, whatever) My husband then finished helping him and it was done! So, what do you call that??

Stress

Stress SUCKS!! I find myself very irritable lately. Most people get on my nerves pretty easily, but now it is even worst! I have so much going on that I don't know if I'm coming or going. I keep telling myself that things will be ok, hard to believe, sense it seems as soon as I get one situation figured out another one evolves! Does it ever end!! I am thankful for the things I do have and for the people that impact my life. I just wish things would be a little easier. Someday I'll look back on these days, and hopefully I can say, "those days made me a stronger person" . I know things will get better! Lets just hope its sooner not later. I love to have thing to look forward to! ***Can't wait til Saturday!! going on a road trip with my sister!! I know we will have a wonderful time! We always do!

One Bad Night!

Lets start this crazy story! Yesterday My husband went to work at a temp service, he left at 4:30am to be there by 5.(better chance of getting to work for the day) Anyway, I went about my business for the day, even made dinner (which these days is not very often). At 5:30 pm the kids and I were getting hungry so we ate. I put his food away. It was about 6:30 or so and I hadn't heard from him... Hmmm Of course I was starting to worry, thinking that he should have called by now if he wasn't going to be home yet. No call! Nothing! To make a VERY long story a little shorter, I was thinking the worst, getting all worked up. Thinking what we had such a wonderful day on Sunday, that maybe something happened to him! My MIL came over, to worry with me we called all the local hospitals, NOTHING!!. By this time it is after 9. Where would your mind take you?? Next step, the Police! A very nice officer came out to my house to file a missing persons report.. While I'm thinking that I'm going to lose it!! We get it all filled out the office goes to leave and around the corner comes a Red Dodge Dakota!! Our truck!! He was at a job for over 15 hours with no way to call home! In a truck all day!! Happy to see him, but still upset!! He's still not sure why I was so upset, or way his mother was. I bet he don't go 16+ hours with out calling again!! O Ya, He probably will he is a MAN!!

VIKES GAME!

The Vikes game yesterday was so fun!! I have had a run of bumps in the road lately, making me wonder if We are ever going to be OK. On Friday, someone gave us 4 tickets to the Vikings game. With everything going on it was so great! It is maybe a sign that things will turn around for us. Anyway, We took the kids to the game and had a great time! We got to ride the train to the dome, which none of us had done before. It was a wonderful family fun day. Even better they WON!! It seems that just when I think I'm losing it, something happens to give me hope. Getting to take my family to the game was something very special and gives me a feeling that maybe, we will be ok. Thanks to the people that made this possible.
