Ha! I was talking to my mom tonight about being a parent and what I've gone through in just one week. (Not to mention every week for the past several years.)
So listen to my laundry list for the week, and if you still want to be a parent then I'll be the first to welcome you into the fraternity of lost souls:
1.) My son was (ran away) missing for nearly five days without calling me.
2.) My oldest daughter emailed me today and said she had (will have) problems making her car payment of $260.00 because of a banking issue.
3.) My youngest daughter (who was living with me for two months) calls me with the following problems:
a.) My car is broke (I just spent over $300 getting it fixed) and it will cost $800 to fix it.
b.) I don't have money to pay my cell phone bill
c.) I found a place to live but need to pay $300 to move in
d.) I'm really stressed
Huh? Stressed?
Oh my...
I have expired Texas plates and have tried for a month to get them renewed. I sent (express mail) my forms, payment, and return express envelope to the Texas DMV. Guess what? They lost it? Huh? I have a signed receipt that they got it.
Oh well, I continue to drive 30 miles each way to work and home with expired tags because some clerk in Texas can't admit his error.
Now about kids.
Hmmmm...I'm thinking not! Unless you are prepared for the good times and bad times.
Lately, I've had bad times. Yet, I love my kids to death and would gladly give up everything I own for them.
So if you desire my week, send me a PM with the proper instructions.
Good luck, gosh bless, and we parents need medication to get through out daily lives.
