school needs to start right now! not in another 3 weeks!! this morning T & Q got into a fight. it was over the most ridiculous thing, leaving the shampoo bottle in the same place after each use!!! i really try to stay out of their fights if it's just bickering because they usually work them out with little drama. not in this case. they were both in the bathroom. T had just gotten out of the shower and Q was getting in. i stood at the door and listened when the yelling started. everything was okay until Q crossed the line with "i wish you weren't my brother!"

that was it for me. time to step in. i know he said it in the midst of a fight and was all worked up and emotional but stuff like that cuts me deep. i am the oldest of 5 kids, the only girl w/ 4 brothers. the two oldest ones Chris (who moved to Northern CA) and Mike are only 2.5 years apart. they fought terribly when we were growing up and it went unchecked for the most part. it ended up putting a huge strain on their relationship when they got into their late teens and early 20's. i really don't want that to happen to my sons. 

needless to say, Q is now grounded for the rest of the week from everything, except playing outside and being in the pool. tho i don't know if it's a punishment for him or me as he's now asking every 5 minutes if he can help me or do something with me.......

he did however help me spot this guy on the sunflowers growing in the rose bed. he was a bit sketchy and i had a hard time getting his entire body in sharp focus with me macro. so i tried to sharpen him up in LR. does he look overworked?
