Guess where I am right now? Sitting in the hallway of Lehi Jr Homeschool next to my son while he does his assignments because he's been kicked out of class.

Let's go back so I can fill you in.

I got home last Monday from the desert. It was a fun trip and I learned alot. I'm glad it's over. There was the normal phases of reintegration: elation, happiness, frustration, fighting, communication and being told to back off parenting because the kids and Michelle have a system down without me.

Earlier this week Michelle gets an email from Brigham's science teacher. He's been out of control. It's not the first email we've gotten in regards to this type of behavior with this teacher.

We made a promise last time and today I get to follow through. So here we sit while his class does some cool experiment about the membrane of a chicken egg.

He is a teenager now.  We are trying to figure out how to make this all work. I can't express, competently, the love I have for this child or my desire for him to be successful. And he will be. I just hope I'm doing it the right way, giving him enough room to grow and yet not so much that he loses focus or control.

He is great and I love him.

And lest we forget the misery this day caused him, I took a picture.
