Just in typical older child adoption world turmoil... we were having too much fun yesterday... therefore it was time for a crappy day. Josh woke up in a funk and has literally spoke only 2 words to me today and they were: "no" and "nothing." He has not looked at me in the face one single time and has not smiled all day. He turned in most of his homework only half done, couldn't figure out how to count money when he's been doing it for weeks and pretended to not know what a calendar is... I finally sent him to bed because quite frankly, I was tired of looking at him. He just might stay there until tomorrow for all I care. There's my rant for the day... I know most of you were getting bored reading about how great we were doing weren't you?

Gee, I feel that way about my bio 9 year old a lot of days. This morning being one of them. He almost got dropped off at school in his boxers.
Is that wrong to put them to bed at 2:PM? Just wondering - we have had to do that a few times here. We blame puberty. Best wishes, grasshoppa....
Gina are you sure he isn't 15? That was exactly how I was at that age. I mean, if Ben is "6" maybe Josh is "12". I'm kidding.....kind of.
Oh shoot, I am sorry! I know those kind of days, and really feel for you guys. Keep up the great work, guys! We all love you!
Uh, yeah...it was getting a little scary. :) Does that "sending him to bed" work for hubbies too? HaHa.
Wow, sounds like my day here too!! Yes, it is funny how after a fun day it is always followed up with a crappy one. I was going to have Sof call Joshua but he too got sent to his room for the "BAD attitude". Here's to a better tomorrow!!!
Hugs,
Chris
