Lots Happening This Weekend

Well we have had a busy weekend. We have torn down and burned my mom's old house. This has been especially bittersweet for me as this is the house that I lived in forever, plus it is the last house my mom ever lived in. I have spent the last few months going through all of her stuff in preparation for this. It has been a difficult journey to finally saying "see you later". I will never say goodbye to her, because I hope one day to see her again. It has been 8 years and 4 months since she passed and I still miss her every day. I know that just because her house is gone that she is not gone from my heart and my memories but it has still been a very hard weekend.

On a brighter note, we have started The Total Transformation Program in hopes of helping my 10 year old better cope with life and in particular school!

We have just watched the Jump Start DVD and my husband and I have filled out the Pre-Evaluation and Pre-Test for Lesson 1. I am pretty excited to start this and hope that we can get the results out of this we desire. I have found out that I have let my child train me, instead of me training him. Which I hate to admit is true. Instead of arguing non-stop with him, I have caved at times and by doing this I have taught him that the more he argues, he will eventually get what he wants.

I know it sounds crazy to rely on a program to help us with this, but anything we can get from it, we will take. It helps by making us actually set down and take a look at ourselves. So, heres to lesson 1 and what we can get from it. If it is anything mind-blowing I will let you know!
