Mothers Day, and the night before

Wow, what a Mothers day. I didn't really get to enjoy it all the way, because I was dealing with Cheer and her wild night out.

It all started on Saturday, Cheer left her My space messages logged on, and because I am an Mom, I looked (I know it is like looking in her Diary, but sometimes, you just gotta) I am glad that I did, because she had all these schemes planned. She went to a boy's house that I don't know, along with one of her girl friends, and another friend. They told me they were going to a movie.
The actually went to a party. The whole night, I paced the floor, called her repeatedly and did everything I could to get her to come home to no avail. I probably should have tried to find out where she was and gone and picked her up, but I was too mad and It was very late. I did not get to sleep until after 1:00 am, then, I woke up at 3:00 and 4:00 am to check to see if she was home and then back up at 9:00 to go to Church with MIL.

I ended up calling and leaving a tearfull message on her cell phone. She called back and said she was sorry and was coming home at 3:00 PM. She felt bad, but it did not change the fact that she dis-obeyed and did somethings that I am very disapointed in.

I just got one Teen over his terrible teens, and now I am having to do it again. For now, Cheer is grounded for 2 weeks from her friends and the next time she sees the "boyfriend" it will be here.

D-man was a real dream on Mothers day. He stayed around, which is a feat for a 22 Year Old. He consoled me because he knew I was upset about Cheer, and he even barbqued steaks on the Grill. The even turned out really good. I am so proud of him, he has gone from a really depressed and withdrawn person, to a bright and caring young man. I knew he could do it. Some of his unwise choices in his life, were sucking he life out of him, I think that he can see that now, but while he was in the middle of the mess, he was not aware of it.

F-man was the most thoughtful young man on Mothers day. He had to work and because I went to Church, I did not see him until after 10:00 PM when he got home. He came in with a beautiful little vase of flowers and a really touching card. It said that I was truly his MOM. I was really touched. Thank you F-man, you really made my Mothers day.

I also visited my Mother and Dad at thier weekend hang out. I took Mom some new earrings and a minature rose plant that she can plant in the yard. I hope she does. They make the pretiest little bushes, full of roses when they grow up.

Dad made a crawfish boil and everyone enjoyed the wonderful food. He loves cooking for everyone.

You go girl. It's hard and it hurts, but in the long run she'll benefit from the tough love you are showing her. I'm so glad to hear that your sons put an effort into giving you a nice Mother's Day.

I second Sunshine's comment - I was one of those rebellious teens. I was raised in the church, thought I was a good Christian girl, and I ended up smeaking out as a young teen and driving my parents crazy. I turned out great - and my parents were absolutely right. Thank God they were vigilant. Yeah - you GO!
