Busy weekend

Well this weekend has been very busy.  We had a Soccer game and house cleaning yesterday and well today was pretty great.  It rained most of the day and I just did laundry and that was it.

You know one thing that is really hard about blended families is dealing with the children.  Like yesterday one child had a soccer game and in my opinion the whole family should be there to support the other, if at all possible.  Well since this is a blended family I don't have complete say in how things run.  We have one child that said it was no fun for her at all and didn't go.  But we are going to be doing some fundraising for her to go on a trip this summer and I will make sure that all the children are there to help even if it is not fun for them.  I get really upset because I don't feel like that is fair to the other children.  But what do you do.  I just have to remember that I choose this life and grin and bear it.

I love all of our children but it is hard.  What makes it real hard is that three of them are teenagers and having to deal with teenager attitudes.  Like the one that I told you that is wanting to drive she can really get the attitude and make my life a living hell.   But she is one that I can take the keys and phone away.  And she quite often wants to claim that she is not treated fair.  Well lets see ....she has a car, a cell phone, cheers and gets pretty much what she wants.   Now she plays my husband and he feels sorry for her and gives her what she wants but I get mad and say no she is being a brat.lol  

My 13 year old has just started with the whole attitude thing and I think I was caught off guard by that one.  I know I can hear you now how is that possible but she has always been a real quite and sweet.  And the other day she got really mad at me and told me she was her own person and she could walk out the door if she wanted to.  Well yea but what when the police pick you up little girl.  But we worked it out and I do have to admit that sometimes I feel for her because she is so quite that we sometimes forget about her.  She is so pretty, smart and sweet.  If feel bad that she may thing that I don't notice her much.  I think after I get done with this I will go hug and kiss her.  She will wonder what is up...lol   keep them wondering.

Well thanks again for letting me ramble.

Till next time
