Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy birthday to me today. I'm 48. And yes, I have a 9 year-old son. I got started late, what can I say?  Well the day has already started off right.....or wrong. My beautiful son, sweet and innocent presented me with a lovely birthday card, that he actually picked up yesterday while we were shopping for my mom. I pretended not to see it, even though I paid for it. Approximately an hour later, my son turned into a psycho-child acting like he had some mental disorder. He would not take his Adderrall and ran all around the house to avoid me coming with the spoon and water.  He can't swallow a pill yet.

It sometimes takes every ounce of me NOT to hit him harshly across his little cute head. And here we talk about discipline.  Do we or do we NOT spank our children in this day and age? I say yes, by all means, whatever it takes to get them to respect and listen to you.  The schools, and justice system, however, will tell you it's child abuse. The children are taught this in school and think they can "call the police" if we hit them. I say, "go ahead and call them, because by the time they get here, you're little *** will be in the hospital already!!!

I wonder if I'll get a cake today from any of my family or friends? I hope so. I love cake. And I need a break!
