My Bad.....

I love my kids!!!! They give me a chance to grow up again....Hopefully this time I do it right and learn a few new things....I said grow up but I did not say get old here.....There is a difference. ANYHOW!!!! A couple of things have happened since my last blog with the kids that have really made me relive those days and make me proud to be their mom. Now please don't read any further if you can't handle the truth and honesty that is about to emerge from this mom who grew up in the country with 4 older somewhat abusive brothers who would rather punch you in the shoulder than tell you they love you. ANYHOW my kids...
My son Kelly has been experiencing some friend troubles lately. His so called "best friend" had been ditching him at recess time leaving Kelly to feel frustrated and a little hurt.

So Kelly is off to his other buddies house for a play date and his "best friend" was there as well. Through the course of the play date the other two boys decided to harass and somewhat bully Kelly and as far as I could tell it was not a pleasant experience for him. When Kelly got home he acted as usuall but seemed maybe a little quieter. No biggee. THEN the phone rang.....oh boy here we go!!! Wilson sprang into action apparently Kelly had hit his "best friend" .....I of course went into mother mode and NOT MY KELLY NOT WITHOUT A REASON....and I was ready to take on any mother that accused my son of anything like this....(IT is moments like this I am extremely happy for Wilson) ANYHOW...we haul Kelly into our room and get his side of the story...WELL lo and behold...guess what...The little best friend got what he deserved....over the course of the play date each time Kelly fought back there was a reason....Now you do have to understand I do not condone fighting as I as a reasonable adult know that there is always a better way to solve your problems but as I was listening to the events of the day I felt Kelly was somewhat justified....I have to admit that I had a little giggle as Kelly mentioned that as his "best friend" was about to depart from the car he gave "one last shot" OK I KNOW ....but for some crazy reason it was that last one that made me proud....but it also made me know that my guys was not going to let anyone walk all over him and that he was a fighter and could stand up for himself. He is 10 and did what he had to when his friend had turned his back on him...
I asked Kelly why he didn't give me a call to come and pick him up and he replied that he thought it would get better....WOW....

After we heard Kelly's side we called the other mom and thank goodness the "best friend" finally told the truth and found out that her little angel was part of the problem....SO for the time being...no more hanging out with each other...I can't say that I am disappointed!!!!

ANYHOW....Why I felt the need to talk about I am not sure but I know I am glad that boy is my son.....I know he is a good guy and that he will be fine no matter what he does!
