He has been on his best behavior this week, though. Now, I don't know what to do after the Final Four is over!?!? 
DD got her braces off today!
That was one of the happiest days of my life! I bet she is so excited! (And you too - no more ortho bills - well, charges! 
)
Oh, ok - I do remember reading reading something about the storm. You're very lucky that your DS9 is a good kid. Mine is too (for the most part), and always has been - top student, devoted athlete, very well-mannered (in public). But, recently, he has become somewhat of a -- well, I don't know what to call it.
He loves to get the last word and enjoys being sarcastic with me (and not in a "ha-ha" kind of way), and lately, he has started lying to me over silly things (not all the time, just occasionally) & constantly blaming everybody else for something he's done. I think he's prematurely become a teenager!
I did find a great form of punishment, though - last week, after he told me one of his silly lies, I took away "March Madness" from him. That's right, I would not let him watch any of the basketball games. For him, I think he would have rather worn a dress and a wig to school for a week!
you people are bad......
Who would you be calling bad?
My bets are JJ
You saved me a trip down the aisle to get them myself 
). DH got mad at me - b/c, apparently, it was a "good" ball - which I discovered meant "expensive" (what kind of idiot buys an expensive basketball for his 8 year old to dribble in the driveway? Oh yeah - my DumbH)
But, hey - whatever works!
Congrats on the tag, though. 
the tag fairy is my esthetician, so...you know.There's something wrong with pointing out that a fairy is familiar with your manliness.
Last summer, DS's basketball rolled under my car & he just left it. The next morning, I start to pull out of the driveway, & BOOM - the ball busted. (BTW - the sound of a basketball popping underneath your car can be a semi-traumatizing experience
Anyway, DS had to work to earn the money to replace the ball. He was in a serious state of depression during the 2 weeks he went without his basketball. I kind of felt sorry for him!
My dumbh just went out and spent $130 on golf clubs for DS who just turned 7 this past week - guess what, nobody else in the house golfs other than to putt around the yard with the clubs Don't get me wrong the kid LOVES them but I don't know how "practical" it is.There's something wrong with pointing out that a fairy is familiar with your manliness.
But congrats on the tag too
