I'm feeling a little single-parentish at the moment. I need my husband here soon. But not having to cook a gourmet feast is good. Kids will eat leftovers without having a life crisis.
My children are NOT LISTENING. So I yell at them, with the result that they continue to not listen. What to do? I need the equivalent of star charts, for adolescents. It's just a phase, I know.
Yesterday, Sam got himself BANNED FOR LIFE from computer games for being rude. So I can't use the 'be good and you can have computer time' thing, which usually works. Drat.
Maybe Feng Shui will help? I borrowed a book at the library that claims ALL my problems will be solved, if only I would move that potted plant over there, and tie my suncatcher crystals with red hemp string instead of fishing line. I am all over it like froth on mauby. I'll let you know if it works.

Sorry. Rudeness isn't a PHASE. It's a childhood trait.
Send them one at time to their Aunt. By breaking them up from the pack we can teach them manners! Muhahahahahaaaaa....
Nonsedd - termed used to express the hopelessness of a situation that can only be fixed with Fen Shui.
Canons - this is the closest I have seen to real word! It is the plural of many Canon cameras!!
My Word Verification is "tryingu". Ya think?
It's really "suben" isn't it?
Ahhh, rude pre-teens. I am right there with you. I think I might just end up yelling at mine "Don't test me today or I'll feng shui your a*#" and I'll think of you when I'm saying it.
Aterecal - opposite of 'aterrible' solution to ruse disobedience.
I will be home soon with the rod of correction and compassion!
"culat" text shortcut typo,

"remoos"
Used often when speaking to your elderly heifer!!
**I am your MOTHER, I BROUGHT you into this world and I can TAKE you OUT of this world too!!!**
Deadly when used in combination with "THE EYE" - a remote-control device filled with incendiary material designed to explode if any movement is detected within its perimeters. Operates by releasing pulses of high-frequency electromagnetic waves. Classified as a weapon of mass destruction.
My mother used it on us, I use it on them and I am sure my girls are going to use it on their kids too. The 2nd one (who, upon her entry into this world, did not bawl but fixated her scowling eyes upon every human in the delivery room and growled "but where's the rum?") has used it already on her peers to great effect.
The eldest swore it worked on the boys in her class and made them run screaming and howling away from her shreaking "THE EYE..THE EYE, make her stop!!Aaarggghhh!!"
