I think with facebook I stopped blogging as much. I've decided that I want to get back to blogging more. So many times I look back at what I've put here on my blog as a log of what the family has done and how we have handled different things in our lives. Facebook is fun to post updates and small cutsie things on, but I really should be putting them on here as well.
As is normal in the relationship between a teenager and their mom- Ashley and I disagree on the level of "picked up" her room should be. Most of the time her clean up jobs are not to where I would like it to be, but I compromise since she is the one that has to live in the room. Today she wanted to hang out with a friend. I told her that's fine once her room was cleaned up. Her friend was in the car and said she had to clean her room too, so Ashley should go home and clean her room and she would clean her own room and then they could get together. We came home, Ashley dissapeared into her room and I fully expected her to come out in an hour with the bare minimum picked up ready to go to her friends house. Imagine my surprise when she came out and told me it was clean- and I looked and it really was clean! I think maybe I need to coordinate with that friends mom and have Ashley and her have the same chores on the same days... I might have less arguments from her about what she needs to do! :) I also snapped a picture so next time she doesn't understand what needs to be cleaned up in her room I can text it to her and tell her it needs to look like the picture again.
On another note... I'm ready for winter to be done, over, in the books... I know we don't have snow on the ground like others in the country, but it's still much colder than we should be in the south when April is next week! :) I cleared out the gloves and scarves from the car, and had to dig them out again... I'm afraid we are going to skip right past spring and before we know it will be in our 100 degree summer... I just want spring... weeks and weeks of weather in the 70's or even low 80's... that would be a great birthday present! :)
