Happy Friday!

It is Friday and I am loving it! It warmed up here yesterday ... it was almost 60! So I got home changed and went out shopping (grocery) still it was doing something outside. I hate being indoors when it is nice out. I woke up this morning and it was already 54 woo hoo! I actually wore flats to work with no socks (good thing I keep up with pedicures lol). It is sunny here and I am loving it. Tonight we plan on going to the outdoor mall which is beautiful www.shoppartridgecreek.com it is one of my favorite places to go to when it is nice out. We probably will even go to the movies there too. We need to savor the good weather because it isn't gonna last. It will be in the 50's thru the weekend and then next week 40's. I'll take it any way it comes.

I have been having some teenage issues with my daughter this week. I swear boys do horrible things to young girls attitudes. I told her originally she could not have a boyfriend until she was 16 which is in August. I gave in a few months ago with some restrictions. The restrictions being that I didn't want them attached at the hip all the time. I said one group outing on the weekend and then they see each other every day in school. I thought that was fair. Well, Tuesday she didn't call me after school which is very odd for her. I got home and nobody was home so I called her cell and she said she was at 7-11 with her friends. I said what friends and of course Danny her BF was with them. I said you didn't ask me if you could go and then she said well I asked dad. At that point I was mad. Why would she call her dad to ask him if she could go somewhere when she is at my house? She said she forgot to call me.... I am not believing that at all. So I went and picked her and Marco up. I was the most horrible mom in the world for doing that. She was rolling her eyes at me. So she is grounded and actually I am quit enjoying it LOL. I am getting my point across to her and it sorta feels good. I want to set the tone for her high school years. Sometimes I feel mean about it but on the other hand there are too many teenagers that have very little limitations. I see that with some of their friends and I just don't want that for my kids. I need to know what they are doing, who they are doing it with and how long with they will be. So I guess I am a little on the excessive side LOL but hey that is ok. There is only 2 others sets of parents out of all the kids they hang with that are like me. I would much rather them hang with those kids than any other ones but I try not to pick their friends because I want them to see what is going on too. Believe it or not they see and they need to learn to make their own choices. So right now she has not talked much to me in the last few days and it is bothering both of us because we normally talk constantly. I am not giving in tho! She normally texts me from school in the morning with "Hi mommy I love you" this morning I got "hi" LOL. I know in her heart she does not mean it ... it is just her way of trying to get her point across LOL.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
