raise my boys to be exceptionally excellent men we are all proud of

Some days are easier than others.

Some days I just love em to pieces.

Some days I wanna scream.

Some days I’m so proud.

Some days I’m disappointed beyond belief.

Such is life.

I won’t give up on them. NEVER.

I love this photo of my soon to be 9 year old son. I know he’s crying, but he’s crying for a very good reason. See, this Mommy does NOT allow her babies to have their way whenever they want it.

On this particular day, the baby wanted something (I really don’t remember what it was) and I HAD to tell him no. This is a picture of his response to my answer. I took it to remind me that yes they will cry, but it’s for our own good. All of us. I refuse to let loose some spoiled behind, menace to society munchkins on yall. I’m raising my sons to be excellent men we will ALL be proud of. I want them to be out in public and have other people say they wouldn’t mind having my sons as their sons. That’s how good I expect them to be.

spending time in DC with Grandma.

Allan has been following her around like a puppy dog. He’s such a sweet boy. I’m missing him more at night time.

William has been being a smarty pants. He needs a whipping, NOT a spanking. I will say that he’s seeming to all of a sudden remember what I try to teach him at home.

That teenager of mine is learning how to get around in the city. He took the metro alone for the first time yesterday. Glad it was only one-way. He made it to his destination and his ride was waiting on him. My mom says he showers once at night and once in the morning. She seemed to have a “problem” with that. I didn’t because I know I do it sometimes as well. Besides, he’s a teenager. Teenagers have to look and smell good you know.

Well, I think that’s about it for now. I’m just missing them a little, but not enough for them to come home today or tomorrow. I’m enjoying having my house STAY clean.

I thought I’d make this a colorful entry because I just felt like it.

by Dr. James Dobson.

I bought the book last year, started reading it but didn’t finish it. So….because I’m so serious and psyched about this goal, I’ll finish the book. Besides, it’ll also help with the goal about finish reading my half read books.

That’s bringing up BOYS by Dr. James Dobson. Anybody out there read this book yet? Let me know if you have and if it’s all the hype it’s suppose to be.

and it ain’t easy trying to raise them to be exceptionally excellent men we will all be proud of. I believe it is my social responsibility to produce productive, caring, loving, compassionate, courageous, spiritually healthy, socially conscious offspring.

I gave birth to these boys and it would be a disservice to them, society, and the future if I did NOT teach them how to go out into the world to make a positive difference with the skills and talents God gave them.

I take my responsibility as a mother very seriously. There are people who have children and then that’s it. But then there are others who have children, and they invest time, energy, effort, love, and themselves into their children. That’s me. However at times I think I should and could do better. This is a very important charge/responsibility that I have and I am truly honored to be the mother of my three sons.
