Does anyone have a cattle prod I can borrow? I have a 17 year old son I'd like to use it on! I really cannot stand it that I have a son that was born without any motivation whatsoever! He has plenty of brain power! He proved that by passing all of his OGT tests the first time AND scoring advanced scores in 3 of 5 of the tests. According to the school counselor that was quite an achievement. But now he seems to feel that he proved his point that his school work is irrelevant.

And I am supposed to sign him up for ACT tests? You're kidding, right?

I handed in my final for my Employee Training and Development last night. Okay. To be more technically precise....I emailed it in. Now I have to get my resume fixed and posted to a job board. Not sure how I'm going to pull off a full-time job when these two offspring of mine are so irresponsible. My daughter can do SLIGHTLY better than my son but they are going to kill me! Just trying to kick their butts into motion each day wears me out!

I have Excel work to do. Still picking away at that while I pick away at my son. He has an Earth Science test to take yet. AND an essay to write. The essay is not a problem for him. He can knock out an excellent piece of writing while sleeping...and I think he does. But he is good at writing.

He has Consumer Math class this year...just so he can get his last math credit under his belt. I told him that Consumer Math was the class that all the kids took that had no brains for math...couldn't cut it in algebra OR geometry. I told him that if he can't get an A in Consumer Math then someone snuck up on him and gave him a lobotomy in his sleep.

And now...back to 17 year old son butt kicking and working on my Excel...after picking up the other offspring.

Which is another thing...all weekend she had this boy calling her. CONSTANTLY! Nick. I said something to her about a boyfriend. She said, "He's not my boyfriend! We're just friends." hhhmmmm..."did you ask HIM? Cuz in my book if a guy calls a girl THAT MUCH, he's not JUST a friend." "he doesn't have a life and sometimes I screen the calls and I don't even answer all the time." "Do we need to have a talk, cuz if there is a school dance and this boy is there...I think you and I need to have a talk." "EWWWW MOM...NO!" "I'm thinking yea...we need to have a talk." And so it begins...I need to buy a new baseball bat. sigh.
