&lt;br&gt;&#xD;
Since its Feel Good Friday, I wanted to pass along some good news - I got a part time job as a adjunct instructor! I'm making a little extra for the family on top of my current job and I'm teaching and getting the experience which is what I needed (I want to turn this into a second profession). I just wanted to pass along the fact that positive energy leads to positive action. I can't wait to start!!!&lt;br&gt;&#xD;
&lt;br&gt;&#xD;
Kristen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&#xD;
I have a random question that I've been thinking about and wondered if you could ask the blog. I'm trying to work on my son's discipline and I'm trying to think of how parents instill disciplined patterns in their kids? Like doing chores everyday without being told, taking care of their things, etc. I was thinking about how people leave the military and are neat, timely, etc and I was thinking how can I instill those qualities in him now? Any ideas?&lt;br&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;I was PISSED!&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;I listened but seriously...I was mad.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;Then I told the friend, "I'm not going to tell you any old sappy, cliche' crap.  Hell...sometimes ish ain't fair and it should piss you off."&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;The friend was like..."I appreciate that."&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;What say you?  Do you like to hear the sappy cliche' crap or sometimes...do you just want to keep it extraordinarily real?&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
