My son called me yesterday from his father's to 'tell' me (more like 'lay out') his plans for this coming week. "I was thinking.." he starts out as I try to adjust my brain to absorb what he is about to tell me. In my day, it was usually, "Mom, may I..?" before disclosing my plan.
Sometimes I feel too old for this generation of young people. It is a constant battle to teach respect without the young person getting bent all out of shape-taking it all 'personal'. I guess we did it in my generation as well. Maybe it is something that occurs in every generation-who knows.
Gotta love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning and Happy New Year to Everyone!!!
What a day! The sun is out-the air cold and crisp-less humidity-no rain. The animals are just loving this weather.
My youngest son and I started out our day just perfect. The alarms went off as planned at 5:30 am-goodbye Mr. Sand Man. Dressed-breakfast done-animals fed and tended to-waited for 6:30 am to get here. Hopped in the car-tis 38 degrees outside-let the engine warm up-then we were off. Very little traffic this morning so the ride was rather quick and pleasant. Pull up to the school only to be greeted with empty parking lots and closed gate at the carpool drop off site. First thought--"What gives? I know we are not that early. The school calender on the school website said school was to resume today at 7:05 am." Then the automated light up sign in front of the school flashes-"Students return on January 7"!!! OOOPS!! I guess we looked at last year's calender. We both laughed all the way home. My stomach hurt we laughed so much! Well, at least we know we will have it right when January 7 comes next week. HAHA!!!
