I didn't see one so I started one.  I am tired.  No, exhausted.

 I don't think I've ever said it. How do you pronounce it? Like it's spelled?

Long story. We kicked my friend out today. Another long story. But also SS is not turning in his homework. His mom sat down and supervised his homework the last two nights so we know it's done. It never made it to school. He doesn't want to come to our house this weekend because he knows he will be punished. DH is exhausted too. He told SS fine, go to grandma's. I'm so torn on this. We've had so much drama lately we could seriously use a break. But giving in to SS just seems so wrong.

 I know.  DH and I would like a peaceful weekend.  Maybe a date night too.  But we also don't want to send the wrong message.

It sounds like the drama over homework isn't working for you. 

Just to be clear, he DID the homework, but didn't turn it in?

 

Maybe his goal is to be punished???

Sorry NJN. I think skipping it this weekend might be good for all of you.

We assume he did the homework because his mother says she sat with him and did the homework. We don't think she'd lie about that. Here's what went down. His teacher emailed me and said the home work wasn't done. I relayed that to DH who then called his mom. She said he did his homework and put it in the front packet of his binder. When he got to school he never turned it in. I emailed his teacher back and asked her to check his back pack and see if it was in there. She checked, went through every single thing in his back pack, and no sign of it. He said his sister picked out those two papers in particular out of all the papers in his back pack and ripped them up. Sounds plausible if his sister wasn't three and couldn't read. So I'm not believing that. Add to that that SS was told if he got in trouble again he would be punished so yesterday he told us he didn't want to come over this weekend. THAT sounds suspicious.

I would make him come over and face the punishment. Sucks for you but it will teach him that he has to face the consequences for his actions.

Well, update. He took his homework out of his back pack and left it on his bed. Then he blamed his sister. DH confronted him about not wanting to come over here because he was in trouble. He said that's exactly why he didn't want to come. DH is not getting him this weekend. I think that's wrong but I don't make that decision.

The tone for my day was set when my office mate got an email response from one of our sales people that totally missed what she asked and was no help. She looks at me and says "I don't even know how to respond to this. I mean, WTF, am I even speaking English??"

This was 9am

I got a decent amount of sleep last night. No clue why I was so tired. I closed my eyes for about 5 minutes after work and then went to Zumba. I'm really glad I did, there was only one other person when class first started. It was a lot of fun as usual. The other person who showed up is usually very quiet. She is from the Ukraine and is super shy around us but she was so chatty tonight. I'm very glad we had the chance to talk.

I am on doxycycline for a skin condition. One of the side effects is severe abdominal cramping with loose um you know. Today is hell. I've lived on Immodium. DH made me chicken noodle soup and toast. I am physically and emotionally drained.

I don't work on Fridays so Thursday IS my Friday !!! Hahaha!!


NJN - the punishment could always wait until he does come over. Just because he wants to avoid it doesn't mean he can. Next time, he needs to face the music. I don't blame your DH for wanting some peace and quiet one weekend. Sometimes you just need a break.

 That's a good point Momma, prolong the punishment. Let him know that he will still have a consequence (the waiting will be the WORST) and then make it pretty light. Just let him suffer the anticipation :p

Actually, I was thinking about doubling the punishment. One weekend of grounding for the deed and another for lying and getting out of it.
