Do you ever have those times in life where you just feel like you can’t do anything right? That’s how I’m feeling right now. I’m not going to have a big “poor Kitty” blog party, but I do want to say that it stinks! It’s those times when you can’t make your family happy, can’t make yourself happy….It’s like living in the Twilight Zone! It’s knowing that whatever comes out of your mouth is going to be wrong, that however you feel is going to be considered extreme or hormonal, that whatever you do is going to questioned, blah, blah, blah! So what do you do? Do you just curl up in a ball and hide until “it” goes away? Do you try even harder while still getting the same responses? Do you run away? (At 41, probably not!) There seems to be no answer so rather than try to figure it out, I’ll tell you about someone who makes me laugh - really, really laugh!

My crazy middle schooler, Carson, can be the biggest goofball ever! He and I have such a blast together. I keep threatening to keep him home from school so that he can just hang out with me and make me laugh. We drive down the road and sing goofy songs. We dance around with our air guitars or cool band moves. We shake our heads until my brain starts knocking on my skull! We wander through Target and make fun of the lava lamps or the strange “art.” We banter back and forth with him constantly saying, “No…Mom!” and laughing like crazy. He has a quick sense of humor and loves to be on the offensive. He can really get me good sometimes. I know I’m his mom, and he’s my child, but he’s also a really fun guy to hang with. I guess he got his personality from his momma!! HA!! I know he’s a middle schooler, and he’s supposed to smell bad and have a bad attitude about life, but actually, he’s a pretty cool kid, and I’m really proud that he’s mine!!
