A hint of blue between the rainstorms today. I was happy to see it. I saw the chiropractor today too. I explained the last visit pretty much killed me and he went easier on me today. He is the only person who has been able to give me mobility back in my neck since I had the car accident in 2001. I am grateful for him, but I do wish he could do something for my shoulders. He told me I was dehydrated. What else is new? I'm not so much into drinking water like I should be.

The kids are revolting over some of the increased accountability and it is interesting. We have had some great days of improved behavior so I guess I should not be shocked that increased household responsibility (i.e. putting away one freaking laundry basket each!) has caused insanity in the asylum. Right now my son is losing it. Too bad. We were going to play a game before bed tonight. He's blowing it. A poor choice. His loss. How sad for him!

I'm glad that I'm listening to the Love and Logic books on tape. I feel myself getting stronger and wiser as a parent. I feel like I'm ready for them to make bad decisions and to be glad they are providing themselves with good learning experiences. Wonder Boy will soon learn not to screw around with me. I can stay calm in the face of his craziness. And that will drive him MORE crazy! This is fun!
