I thought about caring for a minute and then thought, "what the hell, just eat."<br />AND I laugh when I shouldn't. I thought I was going to be the strong disciplinarian. Um nope. I laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198602931516975415.post-4620782690461186762010-11-03T07:14:17.189-07:002010-11-03T07:14:17.189-07:00I would like to clarify for the record that the ha...I would like to clarify for the record that the handcuffs were in one of those "junk" boxes that everyone has in their house. It was a box of junk that was in the closet and in no way were they ever used for anything at all. LOL<br /><br />I don't even think there was a key to them, and I didn't know we had them until AFTER the comment to the deacon when I went frantically digging through my bedroom trying to find what he was talking about. *sigh*Gena's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03421574892806170638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198602931516975415.post-27162827071589157892010-11-02T20:30:23.734-07:002010-11-02T20:30:23.734-07:00Gena, I needed that laugh.

When Jacob told our church deacon that I had handcuffs in my bedroom.....well that was one of those times for me. It happens...and it will happen again. Just another notch in your mommy belt. :)<br />(((huggs)))Gena's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03421574892806170638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198602931516975415.post-89981061003521672322010-11-01T19:46:06.174-07:002010-11-01T19:46:06.174-07:00Jamie girl....what happened had nothing to do with...Jamie girl....what happened had nothing to do with your effectiveness as a parent..as a matter of fact this might have happened if he had 6 sets of parents... it just happened..what were his intentions? is he old enough to understand that what he did was wrong?<br />I love you ,,, quit beating yourself up..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033862959593695397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198602931516975415.post-30540354134942113692010-11-01T19:00:50.931-07:002010-11-01T19:00:50.931-07:00I felt very much the ineffectual parent today; the...I felt very much the ineffectual parent today; the poster-child that whole single mom thing doesn't work. *sigh*Jamie Councilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353736497588373816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198602931516975415.post-54332714592468670222010-11-01T18:59:23.459-07:002010-11-01T18:59:23.459-07:00She is actually a certified teacher, but he really...She is actually a certified teacher, but he really did deserve a trip to the office...and he knows the signifigance because I showed up.
