First day of School.

• The kids are off to school. They all did great.


• I dropped the big ones off at the door. The little ones I walked to their class room but it wasn't time to go in so I left them sitting in the hall.


• They were extremely happy to do so :(


• The oldest one I was nervous for. It was his first day of high school but it seemed like just another day for him.


• I wont get to ask him about his day until late tonight because its also his first football game and they are playing in Glen Rose.


• I hate that because there is no way I can go that far after school on a school night. The kids would have a really hard time with getting into bed on time.


• My babies aren't babies any more :(

Ok this is just me bitching ....

I am capable of taking care of my children. Yes on occasion I do forget some things but when it comes to my children I am pretty on top of things.

• SO yes I took them to get their shots.



• No I couldn't register him before he had them and the doc office wouldn't give them to him until after his birthday but thanks for calling to check on it after I already told you that.



• Yes I made sure my child did his summer project. Notice there wasn't an s at the end of that? That's because there was only one. Yes he told me others were talking about another one too but I can only call and go to the school so many times before they think I am a loon. At which point I am just going to have to trust them that there was only one project for him and his friends were talking about another class.



• Yes we picked up his laptop for school.



• No it will not work with our wireless but he can plug it in and it works just fine. Its fine just like that because we don't really want him on the internet in his room anyway.



• Yes I called the school about the wireless part but I assume they are really busy getting all the classrooms and computers ready for school right now and do not have the time to deal with home issues.



• Yes I know today they are giving schedules out. No its not only in the morning. Its from 8-3. That means I can go any time between 8 am and 3 pm. That doesn't mean I have to go when you want me to.



• No the oldest one cant get his schedule right now he has to wait til tonight when his school is handing them out.



• Just because I don't do things on your time doesn't mean I need you to call me or my husband to make sure it gets done or for you to gripe at me about it. We will do things when we want to do them.



• SO when I stop taking your calls don't be upset. I just don't want to hear you any more :)

Horrible...

All I have thought about all day is the loss of an 11 yr old boy. My first thoughts were was this an accident? Could a boy that young think life is so bad to take such extreme measures? This was an accident. I have been assured it but I cant help but wonder how this could happen. I have cried off and on through out the day. I knew this boy. He played football with my children. His father helped coach my boys. I watched him cross the road everyday after school while I waited for my boys. This is a good family and a good kid. How could this happen? This has been ruled an accident but what happens now? My tears stream as I think of the struggles and the pain that lay ahead for this family.

This just isn't supposed to be...

Life and stuff and complaints...

Dear Stupid People of the World,

Please stay away from me and off the other end of my phone. I dont know how much more of you I can take.

Thank you :)

• So I came about 2 inches from needing a new car today. A big moving truck backed out right in front of me. The new car I could deal with. The harm that would have come to the child sitting in the seat next to me not so much.


• I need to see the eye doctor. My eyes have always been not so great but now they are getting worse. :( I hope that's not age talking to me.


• The people at the repair center for our phones...well lets just say geezzzzzzz. First they give the phone to someone going on vacation and he leaves it on his desk. Then they finally give it to someone else who put it at the end of their todo list. After a month and a half I told them to fix the phone and send it back by the end of the week.


• They sent the phone back unrepaired because I demanded it be returned...UHH they missed the part about it being fixed first.


• Its to damn hot outside. My air has been running non stop for several days now and its set on 84. I don't think I am going to like my next electric bill.


• My oldest started 2 a days. Its not really 2 a days though. They only go once in the late evening. He seems to really like it but he has been really tired after.


• They had a parent meeting that was really just a sort we want you to behave at the games and practices, join the booster club, and show off our new stuff.


• It did make me realize how fast my children are going up. That once he starts this year things fly by. This is the time he becomes a young man and begins so many new things and starts to really spread his wings.


• All of this has me sad and scared at the same time. Its really hard not to cry.


• I had to register the kids for school. They wouldn't let me for one of them though because he hasn't had his shots yet...Well he isn't old enough to get them yet so why does the school require them for registration when the state says he cant have them until his birthday or after? I have to wait to register him when he gets his shots.


• We are getting a new dog in the morning. He will be a 2 year old English Bulldog. The hubby and kids are really excited.


• Me not so much. I have been saying over and over that I don't want any new pets but I guess what I want doesn't really matter even though I am going to be the one that has to care for it after the new wears off.


• On the bright side of my life-


• school clothes are done,


• I have folders which I can never find for supplies,


• the house has gotten almost a spring cleaning,


• I have lots of shirts to donate, and


• school is about to start so the kids will get some time away from each other and I will have more time for adult interaction.


• OK thats it! I feel a little better now :)
