Lunch and Learn at the Jr. High School

Normally its the parents who forget where and when they are supposed to be at one school or the other. Today I REMEMBERED!!! (only because I marked my work calendar).
I reminded Mary Margaret that we were supposed to eat lunch together today. I really had no idea that there would be booths to look at and she got to drive the mule with the drunk goggles! She drove just like a drunk person. The ride back without the goggles was funny. I have been letting her drive on our road, I know, bad parent, but sometimes that is the only thing that will bring her out of one of those DRAMA QUEEN days. Anyway, she's driving the mule, one hand on the wheel, talking up a storm to Buck Morris, the police officer, looking at him while she's talking and driving, and driving a tad bit too fast, just like an old hand at driving. All the other kids were driving really slow, both hands on the wheel and scared to death to say a word. Not my baby!

This past month with Mary Margaret has been a lot better. I think that having all her stuff taken away and her having to earn it back really worked better than the other usual punishments. Ever so often she will mention that day that she was begging me to let her have something, anything back and I said fine and gave her one shoe back...she's says that was just wrong. Myself and others thought that it was pretty funny, especially when I handed her the one shoe and she looks at me and says...this shoe is the one that doesn't have a mate. OH WELL!!!! My friends and I have a good laugh about that one still!!!!! Someone told me the other day that it must be a riot living in my house as a kid. It's a laugh a minute!

Now on to Taylor, who is just starting to test the waters with me. She is at that really annoying whine-y stage. Anything I ask her to do, she a) trys to talk MM into doing it for her b) ignores me and my favorite c) WHINES FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER! She is growing up too. She shaved her underarms last week. HOWS THAT FOR EMBARRASSING!

Brawner Family
I hardly ever give an update on the Brawner's. Dad and Charlene are gardening and cutting grass. My little sister, Delani is waiting for school to end. Can you believe this, Charlene's oldest son, Craig is graduating high school this year. Wow they have all grown so fast.

Scott (my youngest brother) is planning on going back to Alaska, I think, with a different company. He was getting his passport ready the other day. I wonder what he does in the airports with this prosthesis, I'll have to ask him.

Andy and Amanda are still rockin' on. They have Blake and Alisa. Andy wants to come down and stay with us this summer for their vacation, I told him to come on, we will find someplace for them to crash!

Susan (mom) is scheduled for a hysterectomy on the 29th.

Thats about it.
