Life and Stuff...

So I have no idea how long its been since I posted last.  You may get some repeat stuff..

  • Ok school has started.  The little kids love their teachers!  I am so happy about this.
  • The little one actually asked if he gets to go to school one weekend.  Major change for him.
  • He is still struggling in school.  I have noticed it is really hard to keep his attention for long at home and 2 of his teachers have said something about it.
  • It is time to talk to the doc about ways to help but the hubby is totally against it.
  • It took me over a week to get the oldest boys schedule worked out.  I don't  know why the school thinks it is ok to force my child to take classes he isn't interested in or that are complete crap just because he is taking all honors classes.  Yes I know it is hard to work electives around the honors classes because both are limited.  However they are not making my 16 year old son take a family and parenting class.
  • He even decided he would rather take PE (he doesn't need the credit) than the other classes they were offering him.  I find it completely ridiculous  that they cant find a way to offer him something else.
  • My husband had to go talk to the superintendent before we managed to even get them to do that though.
  • He went to the administration building and asked to talk to him and was told he was in meetings.  When my hubby said he wasn't leaving until someone talked to him they decided to go get someone.
  • He was really nice. Told us it would be taken care of and if they didn't work it out for us to let they know he could take one class while sitting in another.
  • He also has evidently said something to the Elementary school as well about them not being the food police. If a child wanted to share something he/she was not going to eat they can.
  • I love it when someone actually makes sense.
  • The older boys are already pushing my buttons with late work and not turning in work at all.  In fact I am ready to beat them.
  • I have watched football games 3 nights a week for the last few weeks. Why you ask? Well its not because I love football so much.
  • Its because I have a freshmen playing football, a freshman marching with the varsity, and 2 playing pee wee. 
  • Between practices and games I am already footballed out.
  • The freshman is now 2-2!  The little ones are now 2-1.  They are all pretty excited about it.
  • Oh my husband finally got his promotion!  Then he got another one.  Yep my husband went from construction foreman to Project Manager in less than a month.  Very proud of him!
