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.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Moody.  Wow.  Here&#8217;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.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What has been the outcome of that is I have a 14 year old&#8230; with 95% attitude.  I have a 13 year old with 75% attitude.  I have a 12 year old with 50% attitude.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hello&#8230; where did I go wrong?  What was I thinking?  Don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8230; they have their moments of wonderfulness but really is moments all I get for the next few years?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Sanj said last night&#8230; &#8220;wake me up when it is over&#8230;&#8221;  lol<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So I am not sure on what the point was.  Sure they can be friends&#8230; there are those moments.<\/div>\n<div>But Tyler &#8230; 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.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>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.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I am exhausted just remembering.  The older he gets the more expensive his obsessions become.  Clothing, golf clubs and so forth.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>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.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He is loyal.  He is dedicated to things he loves.  Sanj and I were saying he will make a good husband someday far away.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I miss my sweet Ty-ty.  I am not sure who this moody broody boy is that keeps surfacing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So as much as I loved having a baby factory going back in the day&#8230; I didn&#8217;t think of the hormone hazards that would be coming my way too.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Thankfully I have my lovelies still&#8230; my Maxwell, Zachary and Mama loving Josh!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have missed writing.
