Parenthood

Up early this morning, have CEU to do for licensing and of course can not remember my passwords and log in. Have to go dig that up  so in the name of all good procrastinators--- I came here to write a bit. The CEU's will get done today though, inshallah! Unless of course my desire to hit Macy's wins out.  Yesterday wanted to go but my friend Debbie, was busy with family. Maybe she will go today?  I am curious to go through the clearance after xmas racks, and to pick up a pair of shoes I saw last time I was there. I love shoes!!!  The newest ones I am crazy about are Steve Maddon flats that are covered with crystals. So pretty. I saw them before at Mall of America and did not  get them and now is my chance.

The title of this post is Parenthood. I love being a parent but it is so difficult at times. My 3rd son is in his last quarter on undergraduate and he also suffers from genetic procrastination. He inherited it from me!!! Although he is almost finished with his undergraduate, he has a very important standardized exam coming up, and he is having a hard time sticking to his studying schedule.  The exam was a very expensive proposition for our family, and he assured us he would be 100% committed. Why is it that kids are always 100% committed, until the time comes to actually put in the work.  So with that being said, you can image the row around here last night when he had yet another thing he was committed to and wanting to push studying back yet again.  He was so upset and angry, but how can we as parents get them to realize the importance of some things.  I know when the exam is over and he has done well that he will be so happy and proud of himself.  Never thinking that the push from parents might just have assisted somewhat.  Ugh, its so difficult at times.  I suppose its my fault because I spoil them so much and hate when they are upset, but its got to be done.   Motherhood its a great joy and hardship all rolled into one.

Time to give Debbie a call and see if she is up for a trip to Macy's.
