Ever since my kids came back from camp, I feel like I need to make a rotation for the phone and computer so that we all get a chance to use it.  The 15 and 13 year olds both want to talk to friends, 13 yod has lots of friends to email, ds15 has his paper account for learning stock options that he monitors and studies daily.

Tonight, ds’s options mentor called to tell him about a relevant online seminar.  But our computer speakers weren’t working, so out I went to Staples to buy new ones in time for his seminar.  (While I was there I got some free folders, which was a nice bonus, and picked up some of their super cheap school supplies.)  Back home, he installed the speakers, 8 minutes before the seminar was to start. 

Well, I have no idea what he did, but he wasn’t able to get onto his seminar, so he left to view it at his mentor’s home.  I grabbed my opportunity so I could post here, and I couldn’t get into my account, or in two other places I usually have no problem with.  Fun, fun.  I finally got on, but it took a bit of time since I don’t do it often enough to remember any of the passwords and usernames.  He must have deleted all the cookies or something. 

Teenagers are amazing.  I love, love, love having teenagers.  They are so enjoyable to spend time with, and are mature and old enough to see the wisdom of a lot of things their parents do, so there are very few disagreements.  Most people give you the impression that teenagers are hard to live with because of personality clashes, but for me, the hard part of having teenagers around is things like this.  I guess I can’t really complain, can I? 🙂
