Guess the secret with my kids is to let them know that I will always be there for them no matter what, no matter how hateful they are acting. And lots of deep breathing, weed pulling, and quiet sewing time. Stay strong about school, its a lot different than when you used to skip class. There are so many ways for a teenager to get in trouble when they are not where they are supposed to be.quiltermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966454944918830540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-52324949649095960262013-05-27T15:32:30.404-05:002013-05-27T15:32:30.404-05:00Lane, you are doing fine.

You all (is that an Americanism?), you hang in there and do your best to hang in together. I am a secondary school teacher in Scotland. It is not so different here! Everybody needs to know that someone cares that they make the best that they can out out of the one chance that they know that they have in life: this one!

One time when he was annoyed with me, he tried to shove me with his shoulder as he walked past (you know how kids to to intimidate each other in the halls at school). I've got a good 90 pounds on him, so it didn't have nearly the effect he wanted. I think I'm going to start wearing heels all the time now, just to get that bit of leverage being taller than your kid gives you back.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-81799641204200556372013-05-27T11:29:14.905-05:002013-05-27T11:29:14.905-05:00When you live in the desert, every drop of rain is...When you live in the desert, every drop of rain is a miracle. I love rain!<br /><br />Parenting is the toughest job you'll ever love. My kids are officially out of school for the summer. And it is going to be interesting, to say the least. Trying to balance between work and play is always a trick.<br /><br />LOVE your linus quilt. HST's are so versatile.<br /><br />xo -EElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-1965736600979035432013-05-27T09:28:47.357-05:002013-05-27T09:28:47.357-05:00I agree with all of the comments above.

Sydney gets it on the first take, and they go on for 10-20 minutes making sure everyone else gets it. If I knew what the homework was, I did it then. Otherwise, I used the time to write notes to my friends, draw cartoons and write poetry. I never skipped classes, my mom had a heart condition and enough troubles without me adding to them.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-85757468901779087002013-05-27T08:42:02.740-05:002013-05-27T08:42:02.740-05:00You are a wonderful parent.

I spent most of the day in my sunroom, enjoying the sound of the rain and an audio book and my hexie hand piecing. It was glorious."<br /><br />Lane it sounds like my idea of heaven.<br /><br />I also love that plaid quilt, is says cosy, cared for, homey and snuggly.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-82259161523939623022013-05-27T06:51:14.071-05:002013-05-27T06:51:14.071-05:00I am totally in love with the plaid quilt.I am totally in love with the plaid quilt.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625072993099927005noreply@blogger.com
