PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 22

[L107ANGEL]

morning everyone
Can this all just be over with please? I only have a few minutes, my sister and I are getting ready to go down to the lawyers office to do whatever needs to be done there. Then we have the memorial service at 12:30. The only good thing about that is that I'm going to get to see some of my best friends from high school that I'd lost touch with and my youth minister that i haven't seen in well over 20 years.
Just wanted you WDW people know that I may be coming naked! OnWednesday, we have to fly home, do laundry, trick or trick, repack and then I have to fly out. Not exactly sure how I'm going to do all that1

Oh Bomb, if you are reading this, stop right now!!! Otherwise you'll find out the the girls and i are wearing our Crocs to the service today! It's what we have! I think my Mom will understand!

Caro,

Caro, honey, it will be over before you know it. The next two days are going to be a blur for you! Hang in there. Next thing you know, you'll be lounging by the pool with nothing more pressing on your mind than what flavor jello shot to have next.



Please don't think I'm making light of what you're going through today... just trying to give you a smile. Love you.

Yee-Haw!! Did I tell you all that Auntie Flo showed up to visit FOUR DAYS early and she is out of here today, instead of just getting here. She is so good to me.

Caro, just go with the flow lady! Hopefully all that craziness tomorrow will pay off and you will snooze the whole way to Houston! See you Wednesday.

OK, 3 hours to go. Man that was one longggg hour. I think I might go insane just sitting here watching the clock tick away. Remind to never take a night flight again. I was taking the little one to school this morning and though..wow, had we left this morning, we would be there already!!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Caro Such a difficult day that you have to get through.

Robin, I think Caro likes the humor...yesterday I was texting her and meant to type "honey", but instead typed "homey". I did catch my mistake before sending it, but had to report to her what I'd first typed.

 

[paigevz]

Pooh bear.

I get on a plane today! I don't know what time though. I really should find that out. Being a one car family is seriously in the way here.

 

[MemoryMakers2669]

Paige, your flight leaves at 8:15pm!

 

[lovetoscrap]

morning Is it still morning? Yesh, what a day.

Drove DD11 to school since no bus for her. It is picture day today so that was a fight. Got DD7 bathed and into her picture clothes and by that time she missed the bus so I drove her then went to the middle school to meet with an admin.

I met with the Vice Principal. He was very nice, very no nonsense and very concerned about the bus incident. He promised to investigate and deal with it. He did caution me though that this won't be the last time we deal with this since middle school boys are just "that way"-- but they do not tolerate it. So then we went to the counselor, who I needed to meet with anyway. He is going to have the counselor talk to my dd since she is female. He will deal with the boys. The Vice Principal is a very stern scary guy in great physical shape. I have a feeling he scares the daylights out of any kid brought into his office! Lord, I hope DD never gets in trouble cause I think he will scare me!

Talked with the counselor for quite a while cause DD is having problems getting along in one of her classes with some of the boys. For a kid that shows boy crazy tendancies, she sure has problems getting allong with them. We are afraid if something isn't done we may have a repeat of last year with her hauling off and hitting them. I feel like I am on the verge of becoming "that parent" that the school cringes when they see coming. I am trying so hard not to be.

Went to Walmart cause I forgot to buy sunscreen and to get a ticket holder but they were out of electric carts and I can't walk still so I will have to try again another time.

Home and DD7's teacher called me. We had our conference yesterday and I talked with her about the problems with spelling. She cut her list to only the first 6 words--the easiest ones. She was calling to say that she is going to put her back with the Reading Specialist in a group focusing on phonics, and is going to see about actually getting permission to drop her down to 1st grade level words.

Boy, I really do love this school system.

I am mentally and emotionally exhausted now. going to throw dinner in the crock pot, finish Rick's tshirt and start packing!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Scrappy.

 

[bigmerle1966]

Happy flying to those leaving today. I'm sure I'll talk to you in the next two days sis.

I am almost packed, have a few things that can't be packed until the last minute. Realized last night after I got to bed that I haven't gotten my camera ready. I have to check to see that I have all of my memory sticks cleared off. I did get the DVD player charged and have to make sure to get my cell charged, then I have to pack up all the chargers. Then I have to pack up the carry on and my Disney purse and I am good to go.

School things like that are so difficult. I have 20 students, and every issue like that is repeated 20 times, and while they aren't mine, they are very important to me, and I worry and fret and try to work out solutions for every one of them. It's a very exhausting job. AND THEN, I go home to two more and try to ferret out of them what's happened at school with them. Thing 1 got a notice of failure again, that boy is something else........always, always straight As on report cards, but yet we get these notices and he assures us it's been taken care of, some notebook wasn't turned in, some test had to be redone, this average is already brought up............Thing 2's challenge is to be quiet in class (he asks too many questions) and to learn his letters,sounds, sight words......he's in Kindergarten tutoring....that just really slays me.........and then his fine motor. He has many challenges.

 

[MemoryMakers2669]

I am completely packed...well except dd's DS, it is charging. Other than that, I am good to go! I even cleared off my memory sticks AND uploaded the pictures to Winkflash!

I am sure there is something I am forgetting, but oh well, Wally World is just down the road from the Beach Club. Ahh, the Beach Club, I can't wait to walk in those doors tonight! 9 hours to go!

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Hey guys, I have a problem.....



I'm so excited I can't sit still!


Yes, that is the problem. This was not leading up to a discussion of any of the following: my bodily function, lack of/overabundance of sex, controversial WDW-related issues, my desperate need for a pedicure, or that damn bubble game. I'm just excited. That is all. You may now return to your regularly scheduled DISing.

 

[paigevz]

I have the same problem Robin, but that's good because I have booklets to make for Spooky Fact Families for math tomorrow!

Paige. That is why I so do not want to be "that parent". I know how hard teachers work and how much they care. I hate to complain and try to only advocate for my kids when I think it is really important. As an admitted control freak with high expectations of everyone--especially my kids--it can be hard for me to sit back sometimes and let them fail. Especially my oldest one.

Not to add anymore pressure to you, but do you happen to have one of those spellers you told me about that you could throw in your bag to bring? DD's teacher seems open to any options that I can provide to help her out, and I don't like anything that I found at the teacher supply store.
