Normal...

Last night was quite a evening. It was full of "discussing" behaviors and attitudes of my older cherubs. It was full of taking away privileges and defining what a privilege is.

It was not a good night. Nothing matter much to my son except his friends. When Facebook and phones are taken away... you are out of the loop. That sucks and matters to a 13 year old.

Well as Sammy and I were "chatting loudly" he says... " Mommy! I am just trying to make you NORMALER!"

No I didn't laugh outright but was defused.

Me... Normal? I have been called many things but never normal!

I used to wish to be normal.... but only recently in the last year realized that is never going to happen. I am OK with that. It took someone to call me quirky to wake me up. I did not think that was a compliment. I was actually kind of offended. Sanj says, you are different. You are not like everyone else. Hum... I am special.

I am o.k. with that.

Normal... my poor son is in for a rude awakening. There is nothing normal about me or our family.

Oh dear...
