I have missed writing. Life has been busy. Today I had to take Tyler to the orthodontist for 10 a.m. I decided to take him out for breakfast after dropping the others off.
Moody. Wow. Here’s the thing, I wanted to have my boys close together. I had this fantasy that this would allow them the chance to be friends as well as siblings. I am not sure what I was smoking.
What has been the outcome of that is I have a 14 year old… with 95% attitude. I have a 13 year old with 75% attitude. I have a 12 year old with 50% attitude.
Hello… where did I go wrong? What was I thinking? Don’t get me wrong… they have their moments of wonderfulness but really is moments all I get for the next few years?
Sanj said last night… “wake me up when it is over…” lol
So I am not sure on what the point was. Sure they can be friends… there are those moments.
But Tyler … I so expected him to be easier. Maybe he is easier. I am just scarred. He is an intense child. He is my child that latches on to something and I am doomed.
First there was the obsession with tools. That lasted about 2 years. Then it was all about triceratops. You know the 3 horned dinosaur. That lasted for a few years. Then there was elephants. That was followed by the Crocodile Hunter and a love for reptiles especially crocs.
I am exhausted just remembering. The older he gets the more expensive his obsessions become. Clothing, golf clubs and so forth.
He is now into his friends. It is exhausting. If he is not with them, then he is online texting, emailing or Face-booking them.
He is loyal. He is dedicated to things he loves. Sanj and I were saying he will make a good husband someday far away.
I miss my sweet Ty-ty. I am not sure who this moody broody boy is that keeps surfacing.
So as much as I loved having a baby factory going back in the day… I didn’t think of the hormone hazards that would be coming my way too.
Thankfully I have my lovelies still… my Maxwell, Zachary and Mama loving Josh!
