"If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want. "
— Oscar Wilde

I like this quote. Kind of a reality check for me. Focus on the positives and not the negatives.

Can't seem to get my 10 year old to bed before 10:00 at night. Then my 13 year old does not get to bed until midnight, which puts me and their dad getting to bad around 2:00 AM. Not a good cycle to be in. Not sure what caused us to get so off track and my attempts to get the family back on track is being met with LOTS of resistance.

Part of the trouble seems to be the unreal amount of homework teachers give kids today. I mean I believe homework is good to a point, but not when you come home from being at school for 8 hours and then have to spend another 4 to 5 hours more on homework.

Kids need to have a life outside of school to just be kids and have fun. Maybe Daddy and I can plan something fun for this weekend.

Well, there is a lot of pressure to be the best these days. :/ It kind of sucks being a kid sometimes.
