MLK WEEKEND

hey everyone - today really hasn't been as happy as my face appears, but i'm trying to hold it together anyway!

my son has really disappointed me and i'm not sure just how i wanna handle it - he spent the night at a buddy's and the mom was not there! yeah right, typical teenage crap- i get that - but the both of these boys have deceived me and i'm right mad about it!!!
i'm having my son's friend over for the weekend as a favor to the kids mom who went out of town for the weekend. i didn't realize that she left yesterday(thursday) and i allowed my son to stay over to his friends house overnite thinking the mom was there and not leaving until today(friday). well, duhhhh on me- they pulled the wool over these old eyes.
my son calls me this morning(i was at work) to say he was not feeling well and i realized the number on my cell phone was not his school - he was at his friends(STILL AT 9A.M.) both of their a___s missed school! needless to say i hit the roof and at 4:04 p.m.(this minute) i am still so annoyed i can barely type!
my son has totally lost my trust in him and i think i am a pretty hip and understanding mom, but when you lose trust, YOU LOSE TRUST! not only that, but i still am committed to having his friend over for this weekend!
fun weekend at my house, hunh???!!!

this is dr. martin luther king's holiday weekend and to be honest , i don't really feel very much like "sharing the dream" with any one right now.

my son is going to be 16 in 2 1/2 weeks and guess what, the birthday surprise if so O-F-F!!!!
gotta go on home now and face these little sneaky sob's and let the MOTHER RIOT ACT GO INTO FORCE!
doesn't the Bible say "spare the rod, spoil the child"??

ANYBODY GOT A ROD OR 2 I CAN BORROW!!??

ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!!

IT'S THAT TIME ,TOO - HAPPY KWANZAA EVERYONE!
