The weather was amazing here in Las Vegas yesterday.The temperature fell in the 80′s most of the day. It was absolutely beautiful! Today, not so lovely. It is extremely windy and has dropped to the 60′s. How can I be consistent with my kiddo’s when the weather has a difficult time learning consistency? It seems as if I always have to remind my kiddos about the weather changing. Even Taylor, my 17 year old doesn’t seem to get it sometimes. She wants to wear a knee high skirt when it’s 45 degrees outside, and as Erin & Jorden were waiting for the bus yesterday morning I peaked outside and saw them both in sweat jackets with long sleeve shirts and one of them was wearing shorts! It seems like it is such a challenge for them to understand whats appropriate & not appropriate to wear. What the Behaviorist in me wants to do is to just let them go to school that way and let them either freeze their little tail off or feel hotter than fire…However, the Mother in me…just can’t do it! So for now, I say it’s time the weather should make up her mind!
Taylor has been on a roll today. Her comedic side has kicked in. I was driving the kids to pick up their new eye glasses and we drove by a replica of the Statue of Liberty earlier and Taylor said “Look Mom, its the Statue of Somethin’ Somethin’”, and then her little giggle set in (as if she was saying that The Lady lacked a little somethin’ somethin’). Also, just as I was sitting here beginning to write my daily entry she began to banter back and forth with Jorden and said…”You better watch it!” Jorden said, “watcha gonna do about it if I don’t?” Taylor quickly responded…”I’ll contact my Dean of the “Dean of Students” tomorrow, and he will be down here at our house as fast as can AND he will handle you!!” We all began to look at each other and then laughter began to follow! I swear, you would think she has the power of the President of the U.S.A the way she attempts to run this household. AND, for a kiddo who has a challenge reading basic words, she sure knows how to joke and how to banter back a good one when needed.
This week is coming fast…Jorden & Erin’s Birthday will be on Friday. They turn 13 years old! 
No more children in the Little House. I will be officially surrounded by teenagers. I have to admit, I have a lot of mixed emotions about this. My children are no longer society’s children…As they have now reached that trivial “teen” year. However, as their Mother…they will always be MY children whether they like it or not. Just as we all are God’s children…at least, that is my reason for it!
Until Next Time,
E
