Jonathan is so funny. We left him with some friends tonight for their teenage daughter to babysit. As we were leaving, he started talking about wanting a Nintendo DS. I just shook my head since we have been down this road before. He isn't ready for one. So, he says, "maybe I can buy one with my own money." I said, "when you have some." I told the mother he owes us 200 dollars. Jonathan pops out with, "no, 201 dollars." Funny boy - it had to be accurate!
We are really trying to help him get this worked down to nothing. He needs to feel that he has succeeded at this. He likes to keep himself in the mode of having problems and issues to deal with. He likes his life to be negative. We are making him do chores and paying him well right now to get this down quickly. It has been up at this level for months and he keeps it up. Sad, isn't it?

New Book Title
Jonathan was home from school all day yesterday. He was not easy to have home. I worked HARD to be a good mommy for him. Mid-afternoon he let me know he was trying to irritate me - lol - as if I hadn't figured that out! This morning, he was back at it right away, so I was a good mommy for him again. He was mad and said something about me learning more or reading more. I asked him what he was talking about. "That book by Nancy Thomas called, 'How To Bug Children!" I die laughing here. He says, "see, you're bugging me!" He is just too cute and funny. I love that kid!!!

Humor
Ok, I admit it. I am a blog junkie now. I am going to turn this one more into a humor blog because I found a site that just does homeschool blogs. Blogging has really become an emotional outlet for me and I think a humor one would be good.
So, my first humorous event to record happened the other night. The cat got in the house and headed down the hall toward the kids bedrooms. You have to understand what my sons bedroom smells like. He pees out his anger and so it is QUITE ripe. We have him clean it but he pees more. The odor drifts through the house through the vent system - we have tried to block that but are not completely successful.
Well, as the cat headed down the hall, she was moving along pretty well, then she slowed down at about the bathroom. I caught up to her at this point and picked her up and walked down near my sons door to do something (can't remember what) and noticed the cats nose twitching rapidly. Poor thing, she must have thought someone should clean that big litter box in the house. I just started laughing - which is a good thing. I need to find things to laugh at in the crazy life we live with these 2 kiddos.
