School Starts Tomorrow-SMILE!

I believe these kids think that since it is time to start back to school why not be total demon children and see what they can get away with on their last days of freedom!
I have yelled more these past two days than over the entire summer break. If I was big enough Dylan butt would be between his eyes by now! It's kind of hard to do that when the kid is bigger than me.
I love my firstborn with all my heart but he has been awful today. At 16 years old he should not have to be told to take out the trash or to put his clean clothes up. I have found myself riding him on and off all day just to get any movement out of him. Every request is met with "ooooooh I will do it later right now I'm watching tv" or "mommmm, I'm tired, later". Uggggh!
Tomorrow is the big day though. I will be smiling to myself all the way home, while listening to MY choice of music on the radio.

Talking about school makes me think about how far we spaced these children out. What were we thinking? Oh yeah, we weren't thinking-we just done!
We tried for another child when Dylan was around 2 but God apparently didn't think we were ready. Then Marcus was conceived when Dylan was 4-total shock! Next we decided to adopt without so much a thought as to how this would place our children apart in age.
So this year we have a Junior in high school, a sixth grader, and one starting her last year of Pre School. Next year we will have one at almost every corner. One senior, one starting Jr. High (7th) and one in kindergarten! Yeah-we weren't thinking at all.
