Thats the longest list of texting lingo I have ever seen in my life..lol WOW You can have a complete conversations with that..Im so behind the times..lol
The food looked awesome and loved the pics of the kids! Happy New Year and have a wonderful week!
Thanks the food was awesome! Happy New Years Sonya!!! LOL It is long! I did forget to put SMH: Shaking my head... hahaha!
Holy cow. I love that your kid is a jerk! What a great way to have fun and make new friends : ) I learned somethings on that list. That is a lot of information! Wow! : ) Happy New Year!
Good thing I'm too old to dance. I could never keep up with the texting lingo-- or wear skinny jeans :-)
Your bbq looks AMAZING and the kids look happy!
Happy new year.
Cheers
Thanks Kaishons Mommy... your family is beautiful!!
After reading all of this I feel much more prepared for the next few years as my oldest begins to hit the annoying teen years. I was thinking at fist you were calling your son a jerk and I will admit that part of me was disappointed that you were not. Thanks for the lessons in so many areas today.

I learned a lot from that. Up until now my only texting abbreviation has been LOL. And it's good that you know what the kids are up to and what they are doing!
LOL @ Becca... i definitely was insinuating he was a jerk! I am glad everyone is getting something out of that loooooong text list.. Hope you all have a Brilliant New Year!
I think the dancing is cool and a much better way to battle it out than many of the alternatives out there. As far as the texting lingo goes; it's a whole other language.
Ok I just TODAY learned about jerking from my 8yr old. Learned a lot from your post! :-)
This was a great great great post!
I love that you have all the kids over at your house. Maybe you can give me some advice on how to handle when ur kids friends come over with behaviour you're not so excited about... I really want to have them hang out here, but I can't say I'm thrilled with one of their friends' behaviour...
@Mami I feel like I am learning a Second Language... It's crazy!
@When did i become my mom... did your 8yr old show you some moves? I love when the little ones jerk! As for the friend issue.. That has been a long battle with me (my kids are 24, 18, 12, & 2 1/2). What I've learned from my experience is not to say you don't like the kid! They will turn into their best friend! What I found that works is I point out the behaviors of the kid... I just had to do this last night.. my son had borrowed something from another kid and I pointed out to my son that every time they exchange Ipods and "the kid" gets in trouble he blames you to his mom. As a matter of fact everytime he is in trouble he blames all of his friends, so if you want to deal with that go ahead. Islaam (my son) told me "Thats so True, I hate when he does that.. I'm not touching anything of his".
"Now what I really wanted to say, is don't play with him! He's a Brat and his mom is constantly calling me and the other moms blaming our kids.. he's a liar and annoying! Get a new friend and he's not allowed in our house because he's a sh** starter!!"
Whoa. That's a pretty comprehensive list.Even I didn't know some of the words on there. Lol. Now I feel old. :)
