What Would You Do?

Man, I can't wait for school to start back up! Living in somewhat cramped quarters (only 1 bathroom), while we wait for the house rebuild, these kids (teenagers) are driving my wife and myself nuts!

Trying to convince them that it's not "all about them" right now, as we have tried to restore some normalcy to their lives, has proven frustrating. They don't get it.

"Dad, I'm geting bored with XBox and Game Cube!"

"Dad, my internet is not working"

Dad, I can't find anything to watch on Time Warner 200 channnels"

"My laptop needs more memory"

We live in the "heart" of Amish country here. They stop by on occassion selling baked goods and such.

I'd trade two of them right now for a homemade black raspberry pie and some Amish cheese.

Or maybe allowing them to go and live on an Amish farm for a week, and seeing the lives of those kids, would do it? It would kill them!

Hate to bring you back to reality Greg, but you could have lost those kids in that fire. I'd be loving every minute of the complaining.

Glad to hear that things are getting back to normal with you and your family: That is what is most important! Moving ahead and not back is the best thing you can ever do! 3 up to you sir!
