Just writing...

I have written for quite some time now even being published at some point. I woke up this morning and sat and thought about my family and how much they mean to me. I had to write. It's not one of my best and pretty mushy but this morning I am filled with love and happiness!

The love of my family

When I'm close to you,
All of my troubles melt away.
I am filled with comfort.
I am filled with love.

When I'm close to you,
I forget the world is around.
I have you near.
That is all that matters.

When I look in your eyes,
I am reminded.
There is nothing to big.
There is nothing we can not conquer.

Teenagers

Something I don't get about teens is how they can hurt someone they love over and over and be ok with it. I don't understand how they can smart off and belittle parents and authority figures and think that's ok. They have a sense of entitlement and arrogance that really gets to me. Most aren't raised that way. So where does that come from? They don't understand that a parent's outward anger is actually hurt inside and a way to hide the tears.
On another note, school starts tomorrow. I'm so excited to have a high school student. I'm so excited to have a band member. I'm so excited to be so involved in band and that my arrogant jerk of a teen is ok with mom being around all the time and wants me there. To be clear, he's not always that way. He just gets to me at times. If he will just behave, this year is going to be amazing for us both!
3.0 has his 4 month doctor appointment tomorrow. I get to find out how much he's grown.  He's so chunky and it's precious!
Happy first day of school to all!!!
