Well, the party is over and I am back but will still be a bit behind on emails. First, let me welcome any new members to any of the groups. I am Marsha in KY, sahm to 14 yo dd and now 16 yo ds as well as a zoo of Chihuahuas and other pets. Welcome to the groups.....whichever ones you are reading this on :-)
Stephen had 4 boys over, but only three spent the night, one had to leave after a few hours. I will NEVER undertake something like this with him again!! First, he knew all about it....guess I should have known I couldn't keep it a secret. Two of the boys were almost as bad as he is at trying to keep any semblance of order with. First, they broke the banisters off my mom's porch, they kept turning on the riding mower, they dragged ladders all over the yard and climbed on everything, two of them snuck up in the middle of the night and slept on the roof of the cabin...which isn't complete, so a thousand wonders it didn't fall through. They nearly turned the outhouse over with Stephen inside sitting on the potty! ( we built an outhouse so they would not be running in and out of the house all the time.) We looked through the window of the cabin and two of them were watching a porno DVD and I'll leave it to your imagination what they were doing! We confiscated the DVD of course! One of them spent the night pouting and CRYING(!) and wouldn't come in for cake and ice cream because my 14 year old daughter wouldn't go out with him!! He used some choice words on her because she told him no. So I myself had a talk with him and told him my daughter is 14 and even if she did like him it wasn't gonna be happening and he needed to get his act together and not be harassing her again. Another one had to be home (a half hour away) by 9:30 this am, but didn't think to tell us we had to take him, until it was almost 9 and no one had yet eaten or anything! The cake turned out beautiful! I had wanted to do a mustang cake, but the stores couldn't because of copy right issues, so I had them do a road and at each end of the road draw the lines that are behind the mustang horse. I then bought a die cast mustang and put it on the road, and went to the junk yard and got two horses off a mustang and placed them on the lines.....turned out so great....but one of the boys said it was so gross because the horses came from the junk yard. I DID clean them good ect first...sighhhhh. Stephen liked his car and the two boys that weren't pouting liked it,...the other wouldn't look. Stephen ran his smart mouth...told mom he hated her and everything she stood for.....later pretended he had been joking. Just an all around smart elick. He liked his gifts, but didn't really show a lot of appreciation. IT had been hard for me to continue doing the stuff anyhow because he had told me a couple of days ago that everything that was bad in his life was me...that I was his problem and the cause of everything that is wrong. I will never undertake something like this again! Today was also my mom's birthday. She has worked so hard for Stephen's that she couldn't really relax and enjoy hers. My brother took her and his family out to eat......my family was not invited....the kids do so bad that in all honesty, no one wants to be around us. Then tonight we had to go to the funeral home and tomorrow to the funeral itself...so afterwards, we will have cake and ice cream and gifts for mom. Today is also my chi Dinah's birthday. I like to spend extra time with my chis on their b-day....but too much was going on. After all are in bed, I will spend some special one on one with her and give her her birthday treat (lamb lungs and a new toy) Right now, I just wanna crawl in a hole and cover my head........ Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is.
