Why??

Here are a few things that have been on my mind:
1. Which is worse: The fact that Braden wore the same jeans every day including weekends for 2 1/2 weeks (at least!) or the fact that it took me that long to notice?
2. Why does my 16 year old son want to wear his slippers to school? And not those slipper shoes, actual slippers?? So not going to happen. Let's just say, "Wrong family."
3. Why can Braden get up at the crack of dawn every single Saturday to watch cartoons, yet I can't get him up any other day of the week?
4. Why can Olivia remember what any given person was wearing, down to accessories, yet can't remember a simple job I give her to do?
5. Why does Cassidy insist on reading the Twilight series over and over and over again? I mean, seriously, they were good, but come on, they weren't that good!!
6. Why does Austen have no ability to get the whole left turn thing in driving? No, you NEVER have the right a way when turning left, but that doesn't mean if you can see a car but it's still a mile away that you can't turn!
7. Why does Cassidy pretty much dislike everything I cook for dinner? She claims she likes it but then picks it apart like she's doing research on it! Seriously!?
8. Why do my older kids think it's uncool to wear a coat to school? Since when did staying warm become the uncool thing to do? Why must they freeze to be accepted? I mean is peer pressure really that bad? Does wearing a coat ban you forever from being cool??
9. Why does Austen feel grades don't show how smart you are? Uh, gee, I'm actually smarter then this, but they just aren't good at showing it. How did he get his grades don't really matter policy? Since when is a B acceptable when he sees himself as the smartest person on the planet?
10. Why does it seem that there's always something up in this family? And why, overall, would I not trade it for anything?
Just wondering....
