I'm starting to wonder if my son is crazy because he doesn't seem able to tell reality from fiction. I thought today would be a good day cos I got concert tickets for Candice and me for next month. Now I am sad and have a bad headache. How *do* you get a 13 year old to do chores when they outright refuse? Ugh.

Just sorta playing the "poor me, it's not my fault" card. Sounds like a last resort to get out of his punishment. Hopefully the school sees that too. Sorry you're having to deal with all of this. ...I stopped at Starbucks on the way over and picked you up a peppermint mocha though. Hope things mellow out at home for you too.

I'd send one of the cabana boys to the store, but I'm thinking we might get a more tasteful selection of colors and patterns on the duvets if one of us goes. *heads off to the store and returns with a lovely collection of down comforters in a variety of duvets--jewel tones, pastels, earth tones, and neutrals, both patterned and plain.*
