Teen angst and Disneyworld
Okay...I feel like everytime I am on this f-ing blog I am complaining about Megan. Don't get me wrong she is a great kid....but jeesh...I don't know how much more I can take. She finally is going out with a great nice guy that she really likes and he dumps her. So I get tears and crying on Saturday night...with "Why Me mom" How do you answer that. Now because it has been 2 days and that is well enough time to move on she likes another kid. This kid is a 10th grader....how does that even happen. How does someone in 9th grade at a different school meet a 10th grader. Granted this kid is from a good family and we know his parents...even though they are divorced....and he is super nice on the phone and actually uses manners and calls me Mrs. Gurley (which makes me want to say"uh she is next door"). He is in the band and on the honor roll so a good kid. But do I let her go out with him? Man alive, I wish she was dumpy, ugly and with zits. I think I could handle the "no one likes me" stuff better than this.
On the other hand we have Griffin. Temper tantrums do not even begin to describe what I have been dealing with him!! Amazing this child. Meg never did any of this stuff. He through the biggest fit today because he wanted to wear his Nemo pajama top that he slept in all night the next day....granted he was just going to my grams but seriously...did he need to do that. Then at school he is not napping. I don't know what else to tell them to do. I broke down and brought a bottle for them to give him and it still didn't work. I feel like they don't want him there since he isn't napping. I know that isn't the case but still I don't know what else to do.
We are leaving for Disney on Saturday. I am really excited about it....but worried that it will rain and not be as great as I am expecting it to be. I have a little neice that I know I want it to be a special trip for her. I am also worried about Griffin's behavior and Megan missing school. I am worried about my sis and mom getting into it. Or my mom's big idea of skipping through Disney with her grandkids all holding Mickey baloons and singing will not happen. I am not kidding that is what she thinks will happen. It is a dream. Well better close now. Need to bring my girls...yes sometimes I feel like I have 2 teenagers because of Chloe...to the football game. Hope all is well.

Really, you don't want a nobody likes me kid. . .that was me remember and now I am 30 and still think of myself as the ugly girl no one wanted. Don't let her go out with the 10th grader is my opinion. Make her take a break man and figure crap out. This is why the boys are dumping her, yes, because she is speedy gonzales onto the next one. As for Disney, it looks like mostly rain. But I think we can still figure it out. I have looked forward to this trip for so long, I am determined to have fun. I don't think I will get into any big fight with mom, why would you think that. I know she just wants to be with her grandkids, so that leaves me out of it. You may need to separate me and Greg..har har. Everything Griffin is giving you is exactly what I got from Kaelie, and now you know how that went! They are just determined little creatures aren't they? And clearly, I had no clue how to deal with it, so cannot offer tips, really. Just give him some choices with clothes. And I have NO idea about the naps because Kaelie was always a terrible napper. Wish I could help, but I cannot.

I'm right there with you, baby!! I'm at the point that, unless I'm in a big hurry or in a public place, I just let her throw her fit until she's done. Yesterday in Wal Mart she kept laying down in the middle of the aisle and swatted at me whenever I tried to herd her back to our cart. I really hate it when she swipes at me, but I don't know how to handle it. At home I can put her in a bear hug/human straigt-jacket hold until she calms down, but she's a screamer and it's embarrassing. It's all new to me, too. Maggie NEVER threw fits like this, and Kendall is wearing me out. No wonder I can't sleep and drinking at 10:00 am doesn't sound so bad.......just kidding. I try to wait until at least noon.....;-)
