May was a disaster...

...and June is not looking too good, either. My son turned 14 in early May and those hormones kicked into overdrive. By the time he is done with puberty, his sister will be starting. I've got at least another 11 years of the hormonal roller coaster and I truly want to get off- NOW!!!!

Not only are his hormones out of control, so is his mouth. It got him suspended the last two days of school. Not foul language, just sexual remarks. I think the entire school heard me yelling at him in the AP's office. My voice does tend to carry. I am still angry and he is still grounded from all thngs fun- computer, Play Station, Wii. And as for TV- only what his sister wants to watch. She likes Hannah Montana and iCarly, so he's haitng me right now.

Then we find out that one of his teachers has been arrested. Apparently the guy may have been taking pics up the girls' skirts. There is the part of me that wants him hung out to dry- revoke his teacher's certification, send him to jail and all. Pedophiles are the bottom of the heap in jail, too, so he's going to have to really watch his back. But, this is middle school, and the kids are vicious. Girls' skirts are really short, too. As the mother of a little girl, though, I have to have empathy for the girls who were vicitimized. If it really did happen, then jail is appropriate. If not, then I feel sorry for him because his carreer is all but ruined and there will be no consequences for the girls.
