He has only been tardy once since school started and that was because he didn't get home from a football game until 1:00 am. The team was playing in the play offs for state championship.
Oh I see, my bad.

No problem Mike. It is the 6 year old grandson I had problems with. This is his first year of school and he's still getting used to needing to be there and on time.

My mom used to get upset at both my brother and I because we would take naps in the afternoon after school. She said that it was not normal.

Ginny, I think you mentioned that he was going to his Dad's this weekend. I wonder if that was bothering him; maybe he's anxious about going.

Just keeping praying for him. There may be something going on that's making him hard to wake. Shame on me I didn't think of praying for him. Yes he has a stomach flu that is bothering him and is not up to par. Doctor said he's not contagious and can go to school but I expect he'd rather just lay in bed longer in the morning like most of us when we aren't feeling our best.
I really should have prepared myself to have more patience with him that morning but I didn't think of it. I love the little guy.
It has been a long time since I've dealt with reluctant children going to school. My 10 year old granddaughter lives with us but she is very good about getting herself up when the alarm goes off. She's a zombie in the morning and won't talk to you but she has all her clothing prepared the night before and gets dressed and ready for the bus without any adult help.
My 17 year old son sometimes oversleeps but hubby calls his cell phone and wakes him up. He then gets ready on his own and goes off to school.
I'd forgotten children could be dawdlers in the morning.
Ginny, don't be so hard on yourself. Yes, you may have lost your temper with him, but it's not the end of the world. Even though he wasn't behaving the best either, I'm sure he still loves you. It's something that can be sorted out when you see him next.
As for sometimes reacting first and praying later, I've done that before. It happens. It doesn't make you the most awful person in the world. You're human. It happens. Don't beat yourself up over it.
Being that he was going to be spending time with his dad this weekend, that probably wasn't helping him either.

Like why am I not getting done the housework that needs to be done before my mom arrives. Hubby says he's going to call my mom and tell her not to come. He's p.o. at me.

Don't do that to yourself, Ginny.
Instead of getting made at you, he should ask his children to help their mother.

Do you think he would really tell your mom not to come? That would be mean.
No his bark is bigger than his bite.
I got some cleaning done on the kitchen. Yey.....I have clean counter tops and a clean stove. I also took off all the stuff on the frig door. It looks so much brighter.
Today I'll clean the floor and the frig inside and out. I have a doctor's appointment out of town in St. Louis. It takes us 2 hours there and back plus the appointment time so I'll not get much done other than frig.
Please pray for my daughter. She had her oldest son when she was 15. It was very hard on her and she gave up a lot to be his mom and be a good mom to him. Well he is 13 now and is asking to spend his time full time at his dad's. Dad didn't spend a great deal of effort on him in his younger years but dad is rich and the boy likes that. Anyway, last night he told her that he only wants to see her every Monday and every other weekend. It really hurt my daughter to be told this. She feels she is losing her son. Please pray for her and for her to have wisdom. The dad would not be a good influence I think on this boy full time.

Praying for your daughter, Ginny.
Do they have a court ordered visitation/custody arrangement regarding the son? It's tough to know how things will go if they take it back to court. At a certain age they often let the child choose.

Hi Ginny, I enjoy reading your thread!
Praying for K. That would be very hard to hear.
My R finally got to school at a good time this morning! Most or all of last week and yesterday she was late or almost late. One of her better days last week we were hurrying to school and she says "I never want to watch TV or use the computer again." She loses computer and TV privileges if she is late or almost late to school. After she said that I for sure wasn't going to let her have those privileges that day; I might have if she hadn't said that.
I think it is pretty funny that your hubby gets your son up by calling his cell phone! Good thinking!
Don't let the cleaning overwhelm you Ginny. Just decide what you want done the most and start there. Would anybody help you?
Dee

The father and son want to redo it with the dad getting full custody which means my daughter will lose the child support she used as a means to support her in the house she is living in. She will have to downsize the home, rent something smaller if custody changes. That's one aspect. The other is she truly misses her son and is the better parent for raising him. She makes sure he studies, goes to sports practices, goes to games and minds his manners.

We have a tri level house and our son now lives in the bottom of the house with lots of steps to get there. Neither my husband nor I handle steps well. The cell phone method of getting him up usually works.
I didn't get any cleaning done yet today nor much yesterday. I had a doctor's appointment in St. Louis yesterday which is 2 hours away from where I live with lots of traffic and it was raining all the way there and back. Hubby drove thank goodness. I really appreciated him taking me. I hate the section of super duper highway with bumper to bumper traffic on 5 lanes. Coming back the traffic was hideous and very slow, I had an anxiety attack and was very glad I wasn't the one doing the driving especially since by then it was dark and I don't drive well in the dark.
Doctor said he would change my medicine and try something different to see if my weight gain and fatigue can be changed as well. He suggested we wait until after the holidays just in case I have a reaction to the new med so it won't be changed until January. The twitters I get that really aggravate my family the doctor said is normal for the strength of drugs I'm on.

Atheism must hold that there is no possibility of God, or a god, or supreme being, or anything supernatural.
Agnosticism says "Could be -- we don't know."
Seeking says, "Could be -- we don't know, but I want to learn more."
Hope says, "It looks like there might be."
Faith says, "He found me."
What is Faith?

Fear is generated by unbelief, and unbelief strengthened by fear. Nothing can cure us of fear till God cures us of unbelief. - Francis Burkitt
Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. No one was there.
I grew up in fear. It is a stronghold in my life. Now as an adult I suffer from fears. Fear the Holy Spirit has left me and an evil spirit has come. Fear I'll commit an unforgivable sin or blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Fear I'll be left behind or that God is doing a work today that I'll be left behind from because of my fears or unbelief.
Please pray.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Please give me the grace to be faithful and dedicated to you. I love you Jesus. I love your gentle and humble spirit. I love your wisdom and your compassion. I love your willingness to lay your life down to obey God despite the pain and grief it would cause and knowing beforehand what was in store for you. May I follow after you and stay close to you. I pray that I will be your loyal friend and will be convinced of the depth of your friendship to me. Please keep a steadfast spirit within me true to you and to God the Father and to the Holy Spirit.
I pray dear Lord Jesus that I will listen to the Holy Spirit and mind what He says. Grant me the grace to discern truth from untruth and hold to the truth. Grant me the ability to understand sound doctrine and stick close to it. Lead me not into evil but grant me the grace to overcome evil.
In Jesus name, Amen

Merit
A man appears before the pearly gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asks.
Well, I can think of one thing," the man offers.
Once I came upon a gang of high-testosterone bikers
who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen.
So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker. I smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground, and told him, ' Leave her alone now or you'll answer to me.'"
St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?"
"A couple of minutes ago."

My house needs more cleaning. I've got my grandson off to school and I've played some more on the computer I really should be heading on home to clean.
Oh...J my grandson told me grandma, "It is your responsibility to pick up my books and clothes. Be sure to do that today ok?" He was very adamant I do my chores, the ones he decided I should do.

Ok I had a good night last night. I once again surrendered my life to God. It's his anyway. I'm trusting Him.
Now I couldn't resist this joke. I know I have one listed for today already but this one is really funny.
Police procedure
Law enforcement has its problems.
The Los Angeles Police Department, FBI, and CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The president decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and has each of them try to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.
Then the FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
Then the LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten porcupine. The porcupine is yelling: "OK! OK! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"
