This weekend was good : )

• We had company come in on Thursday.
• Nice people. We didnt do a whole lot due to the time constraints of school pick up but we had a good time.
• I may need a liver transplant after this weekend.
• Bowling on Friday. Man I suck! It was a blast though. We are going to have to do it again sometime soon.
• Saturday during the day was all about the boys and football. They won!
• Football is finally over !!!!
• Came in 3rd for the season.
• Their coach bought himself what we planned for a gift for him. Now I have no clue. Any ideas for a gift for a great man that has been great in not only teaching my children about football but also about responsibility, respect, manners, and many other things?
• The night consisted of lots of drinking. I may or may not have surprised all the boys coaches (they have become friends).
• Sunday was beautiful. I cant believe how nice it has been. I loved it. We had a cookout. This time the kids got to come :) (they were sent away for all the other fun)
• The food was good, the beer was cold, and the company was great. I couldnt have asked for a better afternoon.
• I just got the kids Christmas list.
• One of them looks almost like the one from last year only with a few book titles changed. Sigh. We already bought him that stuff and he didnt use it.
• The little ones lists are a mess. They just run around looking at the stuff they already have and if they like it then they add it to their list. Not very helpful.
• One wants zebra print socks, or the bright green, pink , purple or blue ones. Have I mentioned that I have all boys. :)
• The other one is all about video games.

Stuff...

• The boys football game didnt go so well.
• One of their players got hurt a week ago. Never went to the doc. After 3 more games he finally had it checked out. He has a hairline fracture. :(
• I was lazy all weekend. :) The only thing I really did was the one football game.
• We had a roast tonight for dinner. I was thinking it wouldnt turn out so great by the stuff it said to put in it.
• It was AWESOME! Even the kids liked it and they dont usually like roast.
• We record alot of TV now. If its a show I like I just set the thing to record whenever a new one comes on. I love that feature.
• In the evenings once the kids are in bed the hubby and I usually watch one or two shows and we skip all the commercials. Its really nice because it only takes about half the time.
• We are having company next weekend. I am both excited and blah about it.
• Cleaning every inch, nook and cranny in the house is a pain in the arse and it still never looks clean enough for company. Not to mention that as soon as the kids walk through the door it looks as if a tornado has come right through the middle of the house.
• Excited because we get to meet some friends we have never met in person before.
• I actually have stuff that I want to put on my Christmas list this year :) My parents will be happy about that. The hubby too!
• I cant believe that Thanksgiving is almost here :) Its my favorite holiday.
• You get to enjoy family and friends without all the commercialized and gift giving of Christmas.
• Well usually you get to spend it with family. My family this year has decided not to do anything together. Just do whatever you want.
• I think I want to show up at my Moms and have Thanksgiving dinner with my family...or we could just go to the SIL's house a day early.

Life...

• I am doing better. Not great. But better.
• I am getting sick though :(
• I have football over load.
• The boys had two extra games this week during the week.
• It was to see if they were going to get to play in the play offs.
• They are. They played great and if they keep playing the way they did this week they have a good chance to win the Super Bowl!
• That is it for that cause I am done with football (well not really but I wish I were)
• Basketball started. The oldest had his first game ever tonight. They lost but he didnt do bad. He is way too short though. Everyone else was about a foot taller than him.
• Did I mention that I am getting sick...yuck.
• Thats all. Short and sweet today.

Life and stuff...part 2 : Subbing

I have been subbing as much as I can stand. I subbed half a day on Monday and then again for the same teacher on Friday. Her class has some special students in it. On Monday I had a problem with one student. One that I didnt know had any problems or special needs. She refused to talk to me at all, wouldnt do what I asked her to do, was throwing things at other students, and wouldnt put her stuff up the it was supposed to be. This girl would not even acknowledge that I was talking to her. End the end another aide told her she needed to do it correctly and the girl slammed her locker and stood there with her arms crossed. Another teacher went and got a counselor for me. I never raised my voice, I wasnt frustrated with her, and thought I had handled her fairly well. I guess not because I got a note from the teacher on Friday. "Backing them into a corner like Monday will cause problems." I was pissed, almost enough to ask for a new sub for the day. I didnt back that girl in a corner. She was rude and disrespectful and not doing what she was supposed to be doing. I was going to let her take her stuff home like it was because I know if my kids had brought home a folder like that they would have been in trouble. All that being said, Friday went pretty well but I still wont be subbing for her ever again.

Life and Stuff.....

**Edit** Its been so long that I almost feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth.

Its been a while. I have been busy. Since I last posted a lot has happen sports wise..so I will start with those thoughts.

• The Rangers lost the World Series. Either they played awful or the Giants are way better. I dont really keep up with baseball to much any more.
• I tried for years to get my hubby to go to a baseball game with me and he wouldnt have anything to do with them. He wasnt even remotely interested.
• He went to 2 championship games.
• We will be going to a few regular season games next year. :)
• The Cowboys really suck. Thats all I have to say about them.
• My oldest son is done with football. Last week was his last game. It was cold and wet. Not raining the whole time just drizzling enough to keep you wet. They won. It was a great way to end Middle School football for him :)
• He was pissed at me when I didnt let him stay to watch the other game like I had planned. It hadnt rained all day when I planned that. It pored on the game after his. I was glad I didnt let him stay he would have been sick after playing in the rain when it was so cold out.
• PeeWee football. Well I have lots to say about this. Maybe in another post?
• or not...We have to play 2 extra games this week to see who is going to be in the play offs. :(
• We lost on Saturday to an incomplete pass. I was so mad. The call was made and we have to live with it and I can handle that but was got me so mad was to watch the other teams coach turn around and ask if he was in get the answer no and the smile and shrug about it and laugh. That was about all I could take...I yelled at him. He didnt even know :( As I took off yelling my MIL stopped me.
• That was a good thing the hubby was already pissed at the other coach for telling the team he wanted the QB on his back every play with or without the ball. That my friends is bad coaching.....have I mentioned that the QB is one of my sons. Yep one pissed off hubby.

Ok thats all the sports stuff for now.

Sad...Heartbroken really.

**Edit**

When you ask a question you should be ready for the answer. Sometimes the question you ask can have an answer that may hurt. I avoided a question like this for a day or two. I had already asked a few questions and didnt really like the answers so I held on to the last question because didnt think I could bare the answer if it wasnt what I was hoping for. I never thought of not getting an answer to the question I asked. It hurt so much more than I thought and as I sit here now thinking about it I still cant hold back the tears.

The thing is I still dont have answer to my question and now I have so many more but things right now are like it never even happened. Well sort of. Sigh.

Been Busy and stuff...

• Woo hoo! Go Rangers....
• My hubby got to go to that game too. Me? nope. I didnt want to pay for the ticket. They were expensive. Two days before we had to find his Aunt some tickets.
• He had a great time. Called during the 7th for me to look for Series tickets. That isnt happening. Well unless someone else pays for it.
• My kiddo was hurt during school playing football during practice. Hurt his shoulder. I hate getting phone calls about that kind of stuff.
• The convo was something like...Is this Tyler's Mom...Yes...Can you come get him? His shoulder was hurt during practice and you might need to take him to the doctor....Ok I am right outside.
• Scarred the crap outta me. No swelling and he is moving it. My son is known to milk any kind of injury.
• His arm is fine now. He stressed the ligament in his shoulder.
• He played in his game the next week....after he had said he wasnt going to only to call as they were leaving to ask if he could. Yea he could but I wasnt going because he wasnt going to play and then I didnt have time to get the other kids and get to his game. Grr.
• PeeWee was going to be good but we only played one quarter before it was rained out. :( Just enough for them to see the new defense the boys learned. :(
• Our last 2 game are with the other Bridgeport teams so they really want to win.
• Could the Cowboy season get worse? Yep it did.
• I have been busy busy busy....but I like it.
• We had a boy stay with us for several days. I like the kid but that wont happen ever again.
• My children think they do not have to mind when he is here. I had to call the hubby to get on to them because they wouldnt listen to me. Really. I never do that.
• If I cant control my children then there is a problem. Well I had problems. It was either call him or beat them (I mean really beat them...not just the I am going to beat you threat that really just means your about to be sent to your room)
• The weekend ended great though. I went to a surprise party for my cousin that really isnt my cousin....See she is my cousins cousin (did you get that?) but its like we are all family anyway.
• She thought she was just going to eat and to a haunted house with a few friends. When she came in she saw the Happy Birthday but didnt notice all the people in the room were people she knew (that is normal for her). It was great because she had never had a just birthday party because her birthday is Halloween.
• It was a good time and I got to see the girls in my family :)
• They all went to the haunted house but I went home. I already had a message from the hubby that said..."I am going to beat them. Every single one of them. Love you." before he got the phone hung up I could hear him yell ...Stop that. Get to your room now. ....It made me laugh.
• Went to pick out Halloween costumes. The older boys didnt want one this year. I didnt figure they would. I am half expecting them to ask if they can go with their friends.
• The little ones are.....Iron Man. Yep both of them are Iron Man. One Red and the other Silver. I cant believe the both picked him. They didnt even fight over who was going to which one. I think it will be cute. I am sure they will be wearing these costumes for weeks. The little one has already planned when he can wear his..Wed. because we have practice tonight and we cant get it dirty before trick or treating on Sunday.
• Ok thats all I have...I need to get busy with some house work and stuff..

Life and Stuff...

• We went to the Rangers game Friday. It was great until the 7th inning. They just gave it away.
• We were almost late getting there.
• I dropped the kids off and had to go back home ot get my jacket in case it got cold. Turned off the van so I could unlock the door and it would start when I came back.
• The battery was dead and wouldnt even jump off. Grrr.
• I had to have the MIL take me to meet the hubby.
• That was a fun ride. She was pissed. She wasnt happy with me but never would say anything about it to me and was really pissed at the hubby.
• I dont think she said one thing to me except to bitch about the hubby. At least she was watching the kids for us so they were there too. We played a few car games to pass the time.
• Football was just as bad. The coach had knee surgery and wasnt at the game.
• We lost. Bad. It was like the kids didnt even play football. The other coaches were mad. Today at practice is not going to be fun.
• Oh yea I have to make a few phone calls cause we moved practice.
• The drama between my MIL and SIL is better. Not fixed but better (I think).

Stupid Phones...

I hate my phone. Its AT&T. The service really sucks out here. After school lets out you cant even make a phone call. Any other time you can make you call but half the time it give a network is busy or drops the call in the middle. It didnt used to be that way. I hate it. When the contract is up I am switching services, until then I am going to start asking for 10 cents every time I cant get through or my call drops when it shouldnt. That should just about cover my bill....

That being said my sons are on Sprint. One of them lost his phone today at the football game. Grrr I was mad. We looked everywhere for it. I finally gave up. The hubby texted it asking for the phone back. Nothing. Tried one last time this time offering $20 and that it would be turned off in an hour. Just before the hour was up he got a phone call. Now the boys that had the phone found it because it did fall out of his pocket but they had planned to keep it. I dont know how kids can be so dishonest these days. If my children find something that doesnt belong to them they always return it or turn it in (I know because they have). When they gave the phone back it had nothing but the last text in it. No number, no screen savers, no previous phone calls, not even the first text my hubby had sent. The boys that returned it had been over where my son had lost it. We had even asked it they had seen it. My hubby had said he had seen them with a phone and they shoved it in their pocket as he was walking up and he couldnt see it well enough to know it wasnt theirs. Little do they know my son actually knew one of the boys. We will be talking to his parents and hopefully learn who the other 2 were as well so that we can let their parents know.

***edit*** This is the reason I didnt want my kids to have phones in the first place.

Stuff...

• I went up to the school today to do AR reading. We got to read but not take test because the power went out :(
• Coming home it looked like someone had knocked a power line down.
• When is too early to start drinking?
• My hubby called yelling at me this morning. I hung up on him.
• That made it all that much better.
• When he called back I kinda lost it. I am the quiet one, especially if I know I screwed up, but I wasnt having it this morning. My answer to him was if he wanted to talk to me than fine but I wasnt listening to him yell at me.
• He was just having a bad morning and I was the one he let it out on.
• I got another phone call full of I am sorrys. I was still in a fowl mood about it though so my opinion was still yea I know you are sorry and I dont want to talk to you right now.
• I also forgot to buy a pumpkin this weekend for the littlest one. They needed on for school. So I had to go get one and take it up there. They didnt have any small ones in town.
• Its going to make a big mess when he drops it. :( Yes I just said when because his little arms barely fit around it and it was heavy. He insist on carrying it too.
• I have gone from one extreme to the other with post. I didnt post at all and now I have posted 3 times in a matter of days. I will have another post tomorrow too. That is if I remember my camera. :)

Just becasue the day sucked...

x3....:)

The Football Drama Rant

We had a player hurt a few weeks ago. It was during our first game. We played Jacksboro. There is a boy that plays for Jacksboro that seems to be hurting alot of players. He aims for the knees. He has injured (season ending injuries) at least 3 boys in the last 3 years. Usually one in every game gets hurt enough to come off the field for the game.

The mother of the hurt player wrote a letter to the Index. She wrote about how the boy was doing this intentionally and the coaches were telling him to do it. She proceeded to say how her son was the star of the team. How he played both sides of the ball and when the ran the ball he got 20-30 yards and then they would give it to someone else and they would lose the yards. She talked about her boy worked out and how her husband was a coach and how there was no ice or medical personnel to check on him there.

The Jacksboro team wasnt planning on coming to the games on Saturday because of this letter. They only showed up after getting a phone call. She has no place saying that about the other coaches. Has she ever heard them tell a player to hurt someone intentionally? Has she ever seen them practice to hurt someone? No. I dont think any coach would say something like that to a child. Does something need to be done about the child that continues to hurt other players? Yes, but someone has to bring it to the commissioners before they can do anything about it. I have my opinion about what needs to happen but it depends on answers to other questions.

I feel that she owes the players on our team an apology. They work their butts off every week. They play hard. The 3 games they have won, have been won without her son. He is not and was not the star of the team.
As far as not having ice or medical personnel, where did she get that ice from? Thats right the concession stand, about 15 feet (if that) from the field. The same place that others get ice for injuries. The head coach of our team (the one her son is on) is the medical guy she says wasnt there, but when your husband and you take you kid off the field and away from him he cant exactly look at him and check him out.

This team mom didnt show up to our game...I have one thing to say about that..chicken shit. Oh yea did I mention she asked to keep her name out of the paper. As team mom I refrained from writing my own letter because mine would not be anonymous and I am certain would cause a rift in our team. The team doesnt deserve that.

I am angry and embarrassed by her letter. Our coaches require the players to be respectful. Respectful of other players, teams, coaches, parents, and teachers. Require it. If they see/hear of any disrespect they are punished (with running or work outs) Her letter showed just the opposite.

I am not saying that something doesnt need to be done about the boy injuring other players but she went about it the wrong way and she bashed other children while doing it. Two of which happen to be mine.

One more thing...how is she going to call out one kid (she gave his team and jersey number) but not give her own kids name. She has effectively made it where when her son does get to start playing again that her son wont get to play in the game during play offs against Jacksboro. How can he, if he gets hurt she will say they did it intentionally just because he is the best or because she wrote that letter.

Life and Stuff....

• I had a busy weekend.
• My SIL and family came up from Houston.
• It was pretty nice. Better than I thought it would be since her and the MIL arent really getting along very well.
• We had football again on Saturday. They won. It was a good game. I enjoyed watching it. Drama there that I will post about later.
• The boys were in Wise Family Magazine. (the football team) It was a really good picture of both my boys on the team. :) Another Mom brought a copy for everyone that was in the picture. I love her for that.
• I am looking for a few more copies because I know a few others would love to have a copy. If you know where I can find it please let me know :)
• Dont get me wrong I love our park here in Bridgeport. They did a really good job with it and the kids love it. We went to Azle the see the SIL before they left. We met at the Azle Central Park. That is one of the nicest parks I have been to. If you get the chance or have a reason you should check it out. (if you have little skaters they have a skate park there too) I believe they have also just redone the Shady Grove Park but I havent been to it lately.
• Guess what else I am doing today...yep thats right more football.
• My family went camping this weekend. We used to go with them all the time but now it just seems like we are always busy. I hate that because I miss them and the boys love to go camping.
• The more pictures on facebook I see the sadder I get that I didnt get to go.
• I need a nap.
• Are the Rangers really going mess this up?

Life and Stuff...

• Its been a while.
• I have been busy and trying to not rant about every problem in my life.
• Football has gone ....ok I guess.
• I have decided my life is all about football.-Mon. practice, Tue. game, Wed. Yea! No football, Thurs practice, Fri High School Football, Sat. PeeWee, Sun. NFL. Yep thats too dang much football.
• The boys lost Sat. It wasnt even close. The other coach was kinda sorry too. Why would you start a game with an on sides kick? I mean if you losing or something then maybe but he told his kids to only do on sides kicks and once even told a kid that if the ball came off the ground he was out for the rest of the game. Man PeeWee can be harsh, but they are also some of the funnest games to watch.
• Something has been eating at me for about a week now. I havent said anything about it yet because every time I think about it I lose it. Its dealing with family and I dont want to put that rift there but I am going to have to.
• I have decided that I like 8th grade ball much better than 7th grade. This year they seem to play better and have a better idea of what is going on. I think that has to do with there arent 40 kids on the same team.
• I have been helping my little ones class with AR reading. I like it more than I thought I would and it really helps his teacher. :)
• I think I am going to be playing with my blog soon. Change up the colors and stuff. I am thinking blue. I love blue.
• I love love love little kisses and hugs. My littlest man has decided he needs one every time he walks by. Keeps my smile :)
• It also helps that the hubby has now decided that the littlest one is a Mommas boy. He says the others arent. As much as I want him to be wrong, he isnt.

I dont put up with shit from my kids and I am not putting up with it from others either.....

I have been subbing. Its kinda nice. It gets me out of the house and I get some money too :) The kids can get loud and sometimes not do what they are supposed to. I leave a note about them and go on with the day. No big deal. I am pretty laid back in the classroom. I dont say much when they talk and they can listen to their ipods as long as they are working. They get to use their phones to look up stuff as long as they arent texting on them I dont really care. I will be damned if those kids are going to get attitude with me or be rude to me. If I ask you not to say something that is inappropriate. Then just dont say it. Dont tell me you will say it if you want to and when I tell you that you will be sent to the office dont tell me you dont care, cause thats right where you will be going. I havent been subbing long enough to send kids to the office but I did today. Then the other kids were talking in spanish and I couldnt understand them. Grrr I hate that. I am subbing for the same teacher in a few weeks. Oh what a joy that will be.

• I subbed again today.
• It was my favorite day so far.
• The kids are old enough to know they need to stay in their seats and quiet but still be scared of getting into trouble.
• I thought I was subbing for an English teacher, didnt notice she was a science teacher till the end of the day. They were reading Time for Kids and she was my sons English teacher in my defense.
• The faculty bathroom smelled like crickets. YUCK....I feel for those teachers.
• The room I subbed in smelled kinda like bubble gum. Her room is super cute too. :)
• I sub for her again in a few weeks.
• Pissed at my hubby right now.
• We let our oldest shower in the morning but he didnt get up and doing this morning so we were running late.
• He told him he could shower in the morning again after I said not like 5 times.
• When the kids get to bed we are having a talk. Jack ass. I hate when he does that stupid shit...
• Not just the you can after she said no.. the I dont have to deal with it so you can stay up late and blah blah blah.
• Ok so I got busy and didnt finish this.....sleepy...more later...maybe.

Life...

• Ok its been a while. I have neglected all my online stuff. The blog, facebook, even my game. I wrote a post but never got around to finishing it so I will try again.
• Football stuff...PeeWee is going ok. They lost the first one but one the second game.
• The first game was a beating. The second was much better than the first but I wouldn't go as far as saying it was a good game.
• Middle school is much better than last year. There are not as many kids playing football this year. I guess 7th grade kinda weeds them out.
• My child had the option to play 2nd/3rd sting A team or 1st string B team. I am happy with his choice. I wonder if others were given that same option because some of the kids on the B team I would have thought would be on the A team.
• Their first game (scrimmage) was rained out. While sitting in the car waiting for the rain to die down a little I called the coaches to see what was going to happen. It was 5:30 and his answer was "Even if we went out there right now we wouldnt start for 30 mins. If we havent started by six we arent going to play but right now we are waiting out the Tornado Warning."
• Tornado Warning really? Geez. And if you arent going to start for 30 mins any way and its already 5:30 wouldnt that make start time 6. So unless that are starting now they arent playing but you still havent called the game because you are waiting on the Tornado Warning while a bunch of parents wait in the parking lot?
• Ok no more rants about the middle school football coaches because I really do like them.
• On the Team Mom front....Getting some people to turn stuff in on time (or at all) is a pain in the butt. I feel like such a pain in the butt when I call and tell people I need.... it was due last night.
• I am also very surprised by how many people actually sold all of their fund raiser. Go parents. You did a great job.
• We order shirts every year. Just t-shirts that have some football thing on the front and the team roster on the back. I got the shirts back and they were not what I ordered. :( They still look good just not what I wanted because our coach likes everything for our team to be different than everyone elses.
• They offered to reprint them for me or discount the shirts actually they offered to do both. Instead at the end of the season party they are going to print the boys some shirts for free.
• I feel like I have been a pain in the ass to this place and they have been nothing but nice and helpful so here is to Ink N Stitch. Thanks for all you help and hard work.
• I have been subbing. Some of it I like some of it not so much. I love the half days.
• One of the teachers I subbed for I will not sub for again. Not that I didnt like her or the students just felt like I was being taken advantage of by another (one of her aides)
• Kids try every thing to get out of class and doing their work. I dont remember being like that when I was a kid but I am sure I was.
• In the High School sub folders they need to add slips for writing students up and sending them to the office. I would have sent one or two yesterday.
• I have learned that when the older kids ask to listen to music or work in pairs the answer is no.
• One of the Ace teachers has no clue of what some of the kids are learning and cant help them at all. I feel for those kids. They are there to speed up the process so they can graduate early/on time.
• I am trying e-meals.com. Sili posted about it. I love it. This is the first week still though.
• I used the Walmart list even though I hate going there. The list was broken down into sections. The items were in order. I didnt have to go back and forth to different isles or even on the isle itself. It was in order the items were on the shelf.
• I was kinda iffy about the dinners though. Heres what we have had so far

• Dirty Rice and Sausage w/ Grape and Walnut Salad- it was yummy.
• Mozzarella and Basil Pannini- These were good too but next time I will have
  to leave the basil out of the kids.
• Delicious Soup- this was not so Delicious..at least to me. The kids ate it
  ok but it seemed kinda bland or something I couldnt really put my finger on it.
  I will replace it if it ever shows up on the list again.
• Cheesy Chip Chicken- I was worried about this one. Who would have thought
  coating chicken with cheese pringles would be good. It was excellent. The kids
  and the hubby liked it. This was quickly added to the we gotta have this again
  list.

• So these meals have be different than what we are used to but thats what I was looking for. I have stuck to the recipes even when they have stuff I dont typically like.
• Tonight we are having shrimp. My oldest son has been waiting all week for this. He already asked what time dinner was going to be this morning.

***edit: I was going to make the e-meals thing a separate post but it wont let me paste and I am not retyping it :) I know this post is way to long.

It's Friday :)))

• Its my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday Sister :) Thats her foot there in the picture. (I would put up the one with her face in it but she might kill me) Pic came from dfw.com.


• She is 30 this year.


• She also reminded everyone a few days ago that this is her birthday month.


• In my family we females get a whole month for our birthdays. :) I do love this. Thank you Mom! Thank you Will!


• See it took Mom getting presents early every year and Will being good to buy them for her and when her birthday came around still getting her a birthday present because you cant not open a present on your birthday.


• I love my family, not just for the presents, they are really great.


• Moving on..


• I was a sub this week. I was nervous because I had never done it before.


• It was easy. (Only because I was with another teacher and the teacher I was subbing for left a detailed list and instructions)


• I loved the kids. I got to work with them more than normal because I only had 6 kids (max) at a time.


• I dont know if it is because school just started but they were all good and full of information.


• One of them was a triplet. Man I couldnt handle 3 at a time. I would have lost it.


• My Dad moved this week. It was quick. I only found out they were moving about 2 weeks ago...if even that.


• That means my step sister is moving there instead of here (when she gets to move). I was looking forward to seeing her.


• Her trial is soon. Well Pretrial. We are hoping that this ends now and there wont be a trial trial.


• We have our first football game this weekend. I am excited.


• The boys are ready.


• I am the Team Mom. I think I have mentioned that before.


• I have been planning games, drinks, shirts, chain gains, announcers, fund raiser stuff (which is changing). Its not bad.


• I love when parents volunteer for stuff. I did have to ask but I found a few to do what needed to be done.


• Parents that help out with kids activities are the best. Makes me love 'em.


• I am missing my babies right now. Big Boys...as one would correct me. He isnt a baby any more.

Grr..

When it comes to the school and teachers I dont complain about much. This morning however I am irked. I am not a mom who overly babies my children. Most of my children were great with being left at school. They were excited and ready to go back every morning. It only took a day or two and they were ready to be dropped off at the door and walk in on their own. The exception, my youngest son. He is super excited about school every afternoon and he loves it but he a little unsure about going in the morning. The first 2 days broke my heart but after that he was fine with me walking him down and he would sit with his class. I even tried just walking him to the hall on Friday but he wasnt ready for it. By the end of the I will have gotten him used to walking all by himself but he wasnt ready today. The lady at the door wouldnt let me in. She said I had to go to the front and sign in. The problem with that is I wont be dropping him off at the front door. It does him no good to get used to something that isnt going to be happening. I have five kids and this is the first year I have ever been told I have to sign in to walk my kids to class the second week of school. I wouldnt even mind signing in if I could do it by the back door that he is going to be dropped off every morning.

Today only worked because his teacher happen to be coming in the building when I was talking to the door lady. (Man I have some bad feelings for her even though I know she is just doing her job.)

Tomorrow I am going to sign in and then park by the door he goes in and walk him to class. I have a feeling she is going to give me shit about it though.

• The first days of school were great.
• The kids are all excited.
• The little one was really excited but when I asked him if he was going back he said "NO!" :(
• He meant it. The next day he woke up saying he wasnt going to school.
• I have never had one that did that and I have 5 kids. :(
• I kept telling him he was and he kept telling me he wasnt. He wasnt getting dress, he wasnt getting in the car, he wasnt getting out. A strong "Yes you are." fixed all those.
• When we got to his hallway he stopped. He was like dead weight. Would not move at all. When we finally were in the class and I needed to leave he cried. Not alot just enough to make me cry like a little baby when I got to the car.
• Yesterday was harder than the first day of school.
• Today he was just fine. Didnt mind being left at all and he was sitting outside the classroom with all the other kids when I left.
• The big boys got to get out at the curb today.
• I was stopped and said if you can get out in the next 2 seconds you can.
• They were gone. Didnt even say bye or have a good day.
• I still cant believe how big my kids are getting.
• Why do they make us fill out all that paper work at the end of the school year if they are just going to make up fill it out again at the beginning of the school year? Isnt that a waste of time and money?
• Thats all the school stuff for now :)
