THIS KID'S MOM IS SOOOO COOL!!!

OK:) Here is the story about the haircut. LB asked if he could have a Mohawk. I said "Absolutely". How could he possibly need to rebell against that? I figured 1-he's a good kid, 2-he's making great grades, and 3-he'll chicken out. I got two out of three right. He went to RB's and got him a Mohawk!!! RB called and said "mom, did you say LB could get a Mohawk?" and I said "Absolutely". RB said "What?".
So this is what LB looked like when he got home. TOO CUTE right??? Apparently too cute for County public schools. Thankfully, after going to school like this on Monday and Tuesday, I get an e-mail from his teacher that his hair "violates the county dress code. He will be sent to in-school suspension if his hair is not normal tomorrow". His teacher, who, by the way, is an NFL Cheerleader and NOT distracting, could not seem to get her e-mail to work on Monday:) It would seem that his hairdo was disruptive to the class.
SOOOOOO, Mom is the good guy, everybody at scouts and on his football team got to see how cool his hair was, and LB only had it for two days.
Lesson Learned: Pick your battles!!!

HAPPY 10TH BIG GUY!

It's official. LB's a Tweener. He turned the big 1-0 last week, and, for his birthday, had a camp-out/sleepover. 4 of his best buds and his best 'lil buddy cuz came over for a night of food, fun, campfire, manhunt after dark, and sleeping in the tent.

The kids had a blast. They ran around the yard while DB and I sat around the great fire. It's great to live in FL (in the winter for sure). Look at these guys!! Shorts. Shoeless. T-shirts. Ginger Lynn did manage to eat one of the guests socks. Whole. She swallowed it. She's doin' just fine in case you were wondering.

The campers actually stayed out there all night. Oh yea, they came in and got DB to go out there and sleep with them around 11:00. I love my kids friends. I love that they like to come here. If I could just train Ginger Lynn to eat only the socks that don't have a match...

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Dear Mom, Do you still get to see sunsets like this where you are? Do you marvel at God's colorwheel? I just want to write this so that you will know that I haven't forgotten you. I miss you terribly, in fact. I hope you know that.Your grandkids are doing great. LB is as sweet as he can be, and, well, KGB, let's just say I'm sure she's keeping you laughing. Sometimes I think I can hear your laughter. I hope I did alright by you as a daughter. I'm not at all sure that I did, and for that I am truly sorry. Happiness always seemed just out of reach for us. I hope that, when you think of me, you smile. I hope you're proud of the person I've become. I hope that The Lord can talk to you and maybe help you understand me a little better.It's been 9 years today. You're finally free. You are in a painless world now where you can garden, work crossword puzzles, and watch all of your grandchildren at the same time. Happy Independence Day mom. Love Angie
