You've been working a real job. you're forgiven.

Things were going good with my son...until Wednesday. He started acting out and such and Friday got caught in a couple of lies. So he got the appropriate punishment (which was spelled out in a contract for him and posted on his bedroom wall.) The next day he takes a can of Christmas snow and paints the word "******" on our house and sprays the electric meter and hubby's Jeep and a few other items outside of the house. I took his butt down to the police station and an officer had a chat with him and explained to him that the meter wasn't ours so he could take a picture and tell the electric company and have them prosecute. Told him to clean it up pronto or he will take that pic. I told my son that the next time he commits an act of vandalism anywhere, I'm having him charged with the crime. This isn't the first time. He chose to do it on the day his daddy left for a week long trip. He's at Phase B KravMaga Instructor Training. If he passes this, we can hopefully open the school in March, if not it's a no go. I'm hoping once we open the school and our son helps us, he'll be too busy to get into trouble. Those are our hopes for right now. That and improving his grades....too low for passing the eighth grade exit exam which means he can't get into the regular high school....I don't want him in the continuation school.

On the flip side, my girls have been wonderful in helping out around the house and with their brother. They have just been surper duper kids. So I am looking on the bright side for right now. Dealing with son on one hand and enjoying my girls on the other. That's life....thanks for asking.....and my best to you, Kato and your brood.:)
