I do not think for a moment that my oldest son had this much ‘tude’ as a up and coming teen.

I get the eye rolling, the not listening and now, drawing in class and not turning in homework.

Grounded for 2 weeks over a ‘failure to turn in home work’ and ‘missing and incomplete’ assignments, the youngest (who will be 13 in two short weeks). was drawing in class. Umm… now I am making him write ‘I will not draw in class’, 100 times. Then he will write a letter of apology to his Language Arts teacher for his behavior.

I know that he is testing my patience and my limits and I must stand strong and firm. However, if any one has any suggestions let me know! He is a sweet young man and I only want the best for him, both now and in the future.

All the best!

Just Cards Volume VII, Fall 2007 preview issue. On pages 42 and 44.

One card is the retired botanical set from Stampin Up its a black and white domino card on the left hand page up top on the right. The other card is a outlines stamp company Card ‘Bloom’, the really neat thing about being published other of course than seeing my name in print is that my dear friend Susan Soyka is not only published numerous times in this issue, but her card is directly beside mine on page 44! Sue and I have been stamping together for many years and are good friends, I think it is totally awesome to be published together!

I hope every one is having a good day. Check out my picture trail, for lots of family, friends puppies and of course artwork! www.picturetrail.com/ms.rhetta. Please take the time to sign my guestbook!

What a busy day!

Take the dogs out and feed them a warm breakfast.
