Chronicles of Kelsey, Parenting

When it’s okay to say “NO” to an adult.

I’m so proud of my child for standing up for what’s right, even if she risk getting her butt whipped!

Today, I told her we were going out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and she could be my designated driver.  She told me, she will not drive me drunk.  That she has her learners, not her license and she can only drive with a RESPONSIBLE adult.  I was really just kidding when I told her that she would be my designated driver but to listen to her go on and on about being responsible made me proud.  I hope she’s just as responsible if faced with these type of situation with her friends.

Thank you God for blessing me with a child that’s so much better than me because Lord knows I needed her to keep my balance!  Now off to celebrate… don’t get me wrong, I’m gonna have 1 drink.  What y’all thought?!

Chronicles of Kelsey, Parenting, That Awkward Moment

No, No, NO!!!

That awkward moment when, you take a break from your studies to pour a glass of wine… BUT as soon as you pour it, you hear your daughter that’s in the SHOWER starts to sing… “They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, ‘no, no, no’.” I don’t know if I should drink my wine, pour it back in the bottle or tell her to mind her own.. wait, let me quote Kevin Hart here… mind your own gawd damn…. business.”

BTW: She’s on a Amy Winehouse kick right now. I’m just on wine.

Let the music play!

This morning on the drive to drop the kids off, I decided to play some music.  Lately, I’ve been jammin’ “Whodini’s Greatest Hits” so I played “Five Minutes Of Funk.”  I turned the music on , Kelsey reached over to adjust the volume to a level that I could barely hear.  I turned it back up, she turned it down.  I warned her to leave it alone or I would embarrass her, she continued to adjust the  volume.  So we pulled up to the shuttle location, where all the kids were waiting to get on their buses.  As soon as Kelsey got out the car, I let both windows down and blasted the music.  She stuck her head in the air and walked off.  I pulled off and blew the horn a few times as her and her friend walked towards the bus.  I bet next time, she’ll let the music play.
