Nothing new this week except that I filed my two older boys taxes and I know they are anxiously waiting to get their money back. Tyler claims that he thinks I skipped a lot of deductions that could have gotten him back a lot more money. I will have to see it to believe it. He is so concerned about money - I guess its a good thing.
Matthew has not called this week from Afghanistan but I will be mailing him some DVDs as per his request. His grandmother called me and said that she received a card back that she mailed to him because of insufficient address. I checked what I had and all we can figure out is that she may have missed one of the digits on his zip code. The post office blacked out the zip code so we could not know for sure. I am ready for Matthew to give this Army business up but he talks about signing up for other missions as soon as possible.
This week, Justin and Lane have been in trouble almost every day. Justin (13) is unable to do chores because it gets in the way of his social time. Everyday there are numerous kids at my house and they are not doing anything wrong, just playing and having fun. The problem is that Justin has chores and homework and this has to come first.
Lane my kindergartner, has had teacher remarks in his folder all week instead of the usual frog stamp that means he has been good. He told me that the problem was that his teacher has been in a bad mood all week - right. I told him if she was in a bad mood that he put her in it. Finally, on Friday, Ms. Roberts put the remark, "better" in the folder. We will see what happens next week.
Hi Lisa. I think thats great that your son is worried about money. Better that way than the opposite. I know exactly what you mean about the chores. I have 2 teens and they seeem to think the same way. Someday!!
