Going Green
Well, um....we only have difficult child. Can I live vicariously through all of you who have easy child's?
I do have sibs who are of "that" age though. My sister A is 20. She works and goes to school. Currently she's in classes for nursing although I think she's debating changing her major...not sure yet. She was a bit of a difficult child for a couple of years but has straightened out and really taken charge of her life. She dated one guy for about 3 years and finally dumped his lazy person and is now playing catch up on socializing. She still lives at home and I know she would love to get her own place but I think she realizes that she can't afford it.
My brother G is 17 (9 months younger than difficult child!lol). He's basically a good kid but is a bit stubborn and tries to do what HE wants. He's currently inbetween jobs and will be a senior next year. Er....assuming he pulls his grades up. He loves ANYTHING Japanese and even takes Japanese in school. He can get an A in that class and flunk English. sigh. He takes martial arts class and while I couldn't tell you what belt he has, I occasionally see trophies around the house that he's earned. He recently was in a school play and that was an experience for this big sister! He's a very creative person and I'm reallly curious to see how he develops that as he becomes an adult.
My youngest sister S just turned 14 and is THE drama queen. She's actually the most like me personality wise and that just kills her! LOL She's quite the tomboy and into basketball and football but is starting to come into her own with "girlie" stuff. She had quite a bit of hair cut off recently and A put some highlights in her hair. With the age difference between the kiddos and myself, I try to find things in common and do things with each of them. I was able to take S to her first Kenny Chesney concert not that long ago. (Cause you know.....Kenny is going to wait for her to grow up and they will be getting married. I'll be sure to send you all invitations!) Through a series of misunderstandings and crossed wires, we wound up in the 4th row and the look on her face when she laid eyes on Kenny was priceless!!! Both S and A are teeny tiny but I keep forgetting how old S really is. So she manages to both crack me up and make me speechless sometimes with the things that come out of her mouth at times. Like G, she's also not too big into the whole grade concept with school. All of them are smart as a whip, they just aren't much into homework. LOL We'll see if she makes it to the 9th grade next year.
I also have friend's kids that I tend to "hover" around but A, G and S are the closest to "mine". Of course, I was 17, 20 and almost 24 when they were born....might have something to do with that! LOL
