Hidey Ho...breezin' thru to say "hi"...."goodnite" :wave2:

Hope everyone is well...
 
Evening everyone!

Just dropping in to say howdy to all!

Back to School Night tomorrow :scared: How I truly hate this!
 

Just dropping in to say hi! I'm getting so sick of the drama around here. Matt (DS16) and his GF (19 months tomorrow!) keep getting upset at Stephen (DS15) because he's supposedly telling GF's older sister "stuff" about them - what they're doing or saying. Her parents are completely over protective - a few months ago they found out that they were discussing baby names :confused3 and totally freaked out and banned them from seeing one another for awhile.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I decided I was marrying my DH 4 days after meeting him. Yes, it took a long time to get to that point, and yes, they are young. But it's certainly the kind of thing you can talk about and plan, even if it never happens. We used to talk about taking our kids to Disney some day - I remember those days fondly!

But anyways, GF's sister keeps threatening to go to dad with what she "knows". I keep talking to Stephen and he swears he's not telling her anything (they're in 2 classes together). But again, the kind of stuff he could be telling her may be things that he doesn't think are particularly interesting or significant. She's telling GF that he's telling her "disturbing" things about them. Personally, I think she's just playing her sister, but in the meantime, it's stressing out GF, Matt, Stephen, and of course me! I'm tempted to go talk to the sister and tell her to grow up (she's a HS senior). Or possibly talk to the parents and tell them that sis keeps threatening them to tell stuff about them to them, and that they're stressing out because she's making stuff up (being proactive, because really, right now I believe that if she told them anything - true or not - that they would immediately believe her and ban Matt from the house).

What would you do?

I don't know, marcie :confused:
I'm not at that point with my kids.

Just have to say, young love :cloud9: :love: :lovestruc :flower3:
sorry, j/k :)
Sorry you are going thru this :hug:
I'm sure it's gotta be frustrating for you.
Maybe older sister and Stephen are jealous :confused3 That's what I'm thinking.

Almost sounds like a Romeo and Juliet thing, with Matt and GF, that her parents don't want them seeing each other ;)

I know my parents were very strict with me(I'm the only child). Heck, I didn't even start dating til I was out of high school. So I can kinda understand the strict parent thing with the GF.
 
HI all-

Well, I felt the past week that I have been spinning plates with the kids and school stuff. So far Chrissy's "going to the school nurse" issue is resolved.
We found out last evening that Matthew has been teased by other boys in his class during lunchtime. I guess some of the other boys in his classroom have been asking him very inappropriate questions. You know, 6th grade curiosity stuff. I put in a call to Matthew's class teacher last night. I guess today at school, the issue was resolved.
Poor Matthew :hug:
I'm glad so far that issue is resolved.


Ok, I'm exhausted.
Have a good night everyone :)

:eek: :eek: I don't know, but maybe if all of you did sit in the same room together to talk it out maybe you would all be enlightened.

Same exact thing happened to my son on bus last year as a 6th grader. There is this one kid who is the picture of niceness ( you know the type, student of the week, Mr. Polite...) always picking on my son. My daughter, who was 8th, said my son would just sit there and take it, then she would mouth off.

Well....this past summer, he said something at tennis that royally ticked me off. I had my hubby call his Dad. The dad called back after discussing it with his son--the bully's story is that my son was doing it to him--and my husband believed that both boys were guilty.:eek: My daughter kept and still insists that my son was the one being bullied.

Well....this year they are friends at lunch and he claims that nothing is being said and all is good and they're friends.....But, of course, he never told me about the bullying in the 1st place, his sister did. So......if it continues, call the parents?
 
and good morning also!!Its

day!!
 
Morning all!!

Happy Humpity-bumpity day.

I wound up getting a job - yay!!!. 4 days a week from 9-2. I need to get into the internet system so I can stay up to date. :tiptoe: Its great and I can make my own hours, doing accounting and invoicing for a midsized construction company. The owners are great. I am in the office by myself and I can wear whatever I want :cloud9: I do get a bit lonely, but then again I don't have to deal with the office politics that come along with working for a larger company. Sometimes adults can be worse than kids :rolleyes1

School is going well for the kiddos. Rose, 6th grade is tough. That is the year where I had to take Kait out of the public school and put her in the Catholic school here - things did not improve. Is 6th grade Jr High/Middle school for you? Here it is and I just chalk it up to all the schools coming together in one building and all those hormone driven kids trying to find out where they fit in :confused3 Little man is tired of going to school all day every day now. Yea - sorry Little Buddy - its the law and you need to go through elementary and high school. Then its up to you :lmao: Back to school night for the 8th grader tonight - as much as KFish doesn't like it......I don't like it either :lmao:

marci - can't imagine what you are going through. I know Jim is very protective of Kait, says its because he remembers being 13 :upsidedow We are still in the boys as friends stage with her. Then again she is a bit more intellectually mature than boys her age. They are "just plain goofy" to her. That's ok....the longer the boys stay just friends, the better. Maybe sit down with the parents, the sister and Steven and Matt and GF to get to the bottom of things - I agree that it sounds like a jealousy thing to me.

Football season is in full swing. The high school here is again of to a great start :banana: 3-0. Buddy's PeeWee AA team is 0-2 :guilty: But having said that they played the two hardest games on their schedule. This past Saturday they only lost by one point.....so that is a positive.

My big 3-9 was yesterday. DH did my birthday meal on Sunday and then turned around and surprised me with a little seafood buffet here last night:love: I love him. Can't forget about the ice cream cake. It was too late after he and I ate and I want to share it with the kids.....so maybe tonight or seeing how his birthday is coming up on Monday, maybe we will "share the cake" this weekend.

Do you all remember how I have mentioned my brother and his wife going thru IVF? Try #4 has been successful. I am going to be an Aunt to twins :yay: She is 5 weeks pregnant and has wicked morning sickness - but that is a good sign ;) Will let you all know how it goes. Continued prayers that the babies are healthy and the pregnancy goes smoothly.

SO that is about it from Beanville. Been busy and feel bad that I have missed 2 weeks around here - feels like a life time :eek:

Here's mummy dust, hugs, congrats, welcomes and all over good wishes for whatever I have missed.
 
Good morning homies.
Not feeling good but thats nothing new cause there is always something going on :lmao: but anywho hope all you homies are doing well :goodvibes
 
Thanks guys for your support! I guess being a mom of boys has spared me from some of the daily drama stuff. ;) Just driving me crazy now. I don't think Stephen is jealous; he has a ton of his own friends, both boys and girls, and just isn't quite ready for the "dating" thing yet. However, he does like attention, and having a senior listen avidly to something he's saying could be kind of ego-stroking. I DO think GF's sister is jealous - she has never had a boyfriend and is a year older than her sister and seems to spend much of her time trying to get GF into trouble. :confused3 I think I'll try to step back on this one (although it been going on for about a month), but if Matt comes to me again, ask him who he wants me to talk to - sis or her parents?!

Tracie - contrats on the twins! :banana: :banana: Sounds so exciting! Be sure to keep us up to date as the pregnancy progresses!

On a more positive note, I've gotten in touch recently with two old friends and been emailing them and even talking on the phone. Both were some of my best friends from high school. One lives in Colorado, and other than Christmas cards, we'd really lost touch. When I was home in MI this summer, she happened to be home at the same time and we got together and have been emailing and finally had a long phone converstion yesterday.

In the meantime, out of the blue, I heard from another girl who was good friends with both of us. Last I knew she was living in Taiwan (she was an ENT there) and I knew she was having trouble with her marriage (her DH wanted his girlfriend to move in with them, which is never a good sign! :eek: ). But this was a few years ago and we lost touch - probably when I moved and she moved out, which were all about the same time.

Anyways, she has remarried and moved to North Carolina with her two kids and a new step-daughter. We've been emailing a lot this week and it's great to catch up with people! Hopefully now that she's back in the states maybe we'll even get a chance to see one another again. Pretty cool week!
 
hey all

tracie - u get the busy redhead award...got fatigued just reading about ur week:)

as for teens, tweens, kids (unless their health/safety/general welfare is @ risk) stay outta the drama & let them work it out for themselves:thumbsup2 all part of growing up...u give them the tools & hope they don't fall flat on their faces:flower3: if so, dust them off, give them a hug & regroup:goodvibes

ps im think of a "teeny-tiney" addon @ BLT/Contemporary Resort...my retirement fund is evaporating by the day, might as well put the $s somewhere i'll know they have a change of holding onto the value...course i can talk myself into anything lol
 
Happy birthday, Tracie!!! party:

Also, congrats on the new job and brother and SIL are pregnant w/twins!!!
 
Quick fly by...
My kids have a stupid half day of school today. Got to pick them up from bus soon. I have this massive headache :headache: That time of the month :rolleyes:

Thanks you homies for listening :flower3: . I'm sure these things get worse in jr. high.
Tracie- our jr high is 7th and 8th grades by me. So my kids are in hte last yr of elementary school.
I do know the vice-principal well at the jr high my kids will be going to next yr. She used to be my kids' SST(special service teacher) at the school my kids are at now. So if she is still there next school yr, I will be running to her constantly.

Anyways, Matthew is doing well in school otherwise. Just found out yesterday for band, he got promoted from 2nd clarinet to 1st clarinet for this school yr!!! :banana: :cool1:
I really don't know the difference between 1st and 2nd clarinet (I never was in band), but I'm guessing he will have more of the melody parts of the songs :confused3


Oh, I gotta run. I don't know if I'll bbl later or not.

Hope everyone is doing well :)
 
Happy Birthday Tracie!
