Just got my New Book in the Mail

I recently ordered a Parenting book in the mail, Ive already read it once, but wanted to own my own copy. It's Have a New Kid by Friday by Dr. Kevin Leman. It teaches you how to Change your child's Attitude, Behavior & Character in 5 Days
Ask yourself...Do you yell at, scream at, threaten, or cajole your child or children to do simple, routine things like get up, get dressed, eat, do homework, or perform a chore?
When you say no to your child and your child cries, are you overcome by guilt?
Do you find yourself giving in to the original request of your child- saying yes to what you had just said no to?
Do you engage in long conversations with your child, defending why you said no to a certain request?
Are you worried that your child doesn't feel good about himself or herself?
Are you bothered that your child doesn't seem happy?
Do you have a difficult time saying no?
Do they have to be asked to help around the house on daily basis?
Do they disrespect you & not value what you have to say?
Do they fuss about obeying you?
Do they lack for nothing?
Do they need to be reminded more than once to do something?
Is bedtime a battle zone?

I'm not trying to invade or step on any toes, I stumbled on this book & read it & found it to be very helpful, especially in today's generation, we're all so focused on ourselves & our children are growing up to be like that as well, Dr. Kevin Leman is a Christian counselor psychologist and wants to help us raise respectable children. I bought this book on Christianbooks.com (it retails for $17.99, I paid $9.99). I hope if any of you are interested or in search for help you can find it here if your willing to do something about it, most of our kids behavior is what we're teaching them. Good Luck, I'm ready to put my plan into action.

What happens when I leave my camera unattended...

Self Portraits! I leave my camera unattended and they think that means time to take their pictures. And I don't get some of their poses?

And for some reason they all think their Gangsta's!

Here's Victoria & Isabella, definitely DON'T get this one?

Here they are getting along, but I think it's just show for the camera, it's all FAKE!

Yep, they think their Gangsta's, the only thing that's true in this one is the Attitude! We have LOTS of that at the Glover house & it's not a Good thing :(

7 years Bad Luck

Um well, today when I was heading home I was passing another car and I was lookin at the car to make sure we passed each other ok and then "WHACK" I clipped a mailbox with my passenger mirror.

(here's me showing you the view I see when I look out my mirror now)

Dad came back from taking Frank Truck to see why the check engine light is on and also patching a tire, Frank's been working so much he's hardly able to be here or do anything or Rest. He bought this truck wrecked, it's a 2001 Extended Cab and way newer then his beat up 1996 F 150 (we intend to pass to Frank so he can learn in it), anyway him & dad fixed it and it is showing signs of slight mechanical problems going on, plus the tire with a nail in it.

Isnt the Duct tape Lovely!

At least my van is silver so the duct tape matches it, unfortunately I busted the "guts" to the mirror not the housing and now I'll need to get a whole new mirror! What a Wonderful Day!

Uh, no offense to Blondes or Teens....

Well to begin, here at the Glover house we have chores for all the children (no matter what the age), today happened to be Megan's (age 17) day for dishwasher, she wanted hang out after school with her boyfriend so she got up early to do her chore, I had asked her to go ahead and put some soap in it, she asked how you do that and where it is, so I told her the "big white Palmolive bottle under the sink", and Sophia even told her the exact same thing I did, apparently she only listened as far as Palmolive then blocked out everything else.....the picture will tell the rest


It could have been WAY worse had I not wiped out all (or at least I thought I had wiped out pretty much all of it), I started a rinse cycle, then got a reply from Jamie where I had texted her about this, she said you have to rinse rinse rinse or even call a repair man, you have to rinse it before you run it, I stopped it and this is what I saw (the above picture), so I had Isabella scoop out all the soap and put it in the sink (see below picture) and then I poured some cold water in dishwasher and then closed it and hit the cancel drain button, I did this about five times or so, did I mention I had to have Isabella @ school to cheer for a game @ 5:30 and this was all happening after 4pm!

Let me ask you - does this bottle look like "a big white Palmolive bottle"? I think its like Hot Pink to me? Yes it does say Palmolive, but it was also next to the sink, not under the sink

Here's a video that Sophia did of everything while it was happening.
