Oh gang, yesterday my ability to parent without causing death was put to a test. My kids sent my anger levels to an all time high. Sad part is they are only 15 and 16 so I can only imagine what is to come.

The school called me yesterday and informed me that my daughter and her dear friend were found in the bathroom where NaColes dear friend was Piercing my daughters LIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She told me that the principal was in a meeting so the girls hadn't seen him yet, so she was calling because as a mother she knew I'd want to know. Anyways a few hours past and another phone call. My daughter and her friend were suspended for 3 days! UGH! And this is my smart child????

So while I'm home giving one of my famous mommy lectures my son says I'm driving up to the pond to fish. Whatever can't you see I'm yelling here? So a few minutes later my husband opens the door and says come here! So I walk out and my son obviously literally meant he was driving to the pond! He was STUCK in the middle of the Pasture! It's been raining and he took the path where the most mud would be and he knew what he was doing, so now i'm having to lecture both and try to get the blazer unstuck!

Then turn around and my daughter decided to inform me that this isn't her first piercing, he has one in her ear!!! OMG AM I BLIND??? How the hell did I not notice??? I don't have problems with earings in the ear why didn't you just ask me to have it pierced? Sad thing is her ears have been pierced since she was 3 weeks old and she never wore earings??? SO WTF???

Just know I'm tired and I need a VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

April, I'll tell you honestly, the thing that gets me about weird facial piercings is that if you're pretty, they make you less so, and if you're not, they don't help any. But that's strictly opinion. Did you try asking your daughter if she WANTS a grotesque facial infection from unsterilized equipment - this is why there's a law against this - that will leave her face permanently disfigured with scarring, swellings, and marks?

...I realize it's unlikely, but it might have more effect than simply swearing at her, LOL.

Want to come hang out with us in PA? We can give you some restful time away from the kiddos.

Ohhh your daughter need to be careful also cause there is a risk of infection when piercing the lip! I do not blame you for feeling the way you do. Let your husband take care of the kids and take your vacation!

There must be something in the air these days because I am having trouble with my 14 year old as well. This is a child who never got a detention in her life and now has gotten 3 of them in the past 3 weeks. I asked her if she was drinking bad water or WTF is going on! She never gives me an answer. Just the usual "I don't know". My best guess for her anyway is that she's just tired of school and wants it over. Unfortunately that's not going to save her from detention!

As for piercings, I think that's a cool factor nowadays. Why? I have no idea but mine just got her nose pierced. Her mother did it when she was over for the weekend. No permission or anything. Said she didn't need permission she's her mother. I will remember that the next time the kid wants something. LOL

Hope you get that vacation soon! If it works let me know cause that's where I'm going too!

I saw this guy that had a nose piercing, I didn't notice the ornamental part but saw what looked like a booger (the backing) like it was about to fall out and I advised him in a friendly way, that he should wipe his nose.
There was a friend of mine who was into body piercings. She didn't like getting them but she got into pointing out all the failed body piercing pictures that are on the internet. Unfortunately, parts of the body like eyebrows, lips and such that don't have any cartlidge, the piercing can eventually tear through the flesh leaving a hole or sore that will invariably fester and abscess.
Personally, I actually find an eyebrow piercings interesting if tastefully done and limited quantity, though sadly they don't last long. Nose piercings look downright silly, lips piercings get in the way for impromptu make out sessions.

As far as driving thru the field... didn't you say you wanted a new vehicle for working the field that had all the comforts of a car?? *eyerollz*

Wow! What a bad day.!!! I hope things get better. My daughter peirced her belly button. If he ever knew, he would've really gave it to her. She even did several tatoos. At least she listen. I told all my kids not till they were 18. They all went out for their birtdays and got tatoos! (PS they did get better latter on)
