Anyway I didn't meen to start venting,just wanted to let you know I miss keeping up with all your lives and hopefully this weekend(between going to my first college football game and two of my kids being baptised) I will get a chance to read about how wonderful Fockerfest was.
Have a great weekend! We'll still be here when you get back!
CE - OMG, the bike story.
Fockers I have this thing that is now going to get in the way of my ability to keep up with you. It's my WDW vacation!!!! Tommorrow is a big and busy day. I won't be able to visit.
I will miss everybody, especially HSM - oh and TE!!!
Keep on wishing hanna and Ike away for me please. I'll talk at you when I get back. Be Good!!
Hi everyone!
Ok so everyone's wants of naps yesterday actually made me take a nap and I wasn't on the DIS at that time. Do you think it's like synched periods or somethin??Anyhoo, thank goodness you guys weren't too chatty.
Well after my impromptu nap that lasted waaay to long I pressure cleaned the front of the house outside and our screened in terrace area in the back. Then cleaned the rest of the house.These are the times I'm happy we have a small house.
They never called me about the supposed promotion, so I'm a littleabout that. I spent the rest of my time applying for a whole bunch of jobs online. I really hate job hunting.
Alrighty, I deserve an award. I just read 30+ pages of Focker talk. That's dedication.
Here goes nothin'!

I have some GOOD News I am getting another House to manage. It has more people but a super staff and they are mostly much higher functioning and it is within walking distance of home . I was allowed to keep my same schedule Tues - Sat which I love as I can be home on Mondays when school is off for all those teacher holidays !!
No, it hasn't rained all week.
Well witchy poo was told, very clearly, I am not moving to the new building with her. Um, she was less than happy
He leaves Sunday afternoon and comes back Wed. He leaves Thursday and is gone for 9 days.By then, the kids and I will be done with each other, I fear.
Psych. went well. She recommended that we move up the psychiatrist (we did, it's now the 18th) and that we continue with the plan at school. Also, she told Sd to take a valium tonight. He didn't sleep well last night and she said that right now it's more important for him to sleep so he's at least WELL RESTED to deal with school. I agree! And he's going to go to the classes he missed today and yesterday, after school tomorrow, to get his work and let the teachers know that he's trying to not get behind!
I am going to email them and give them a heads up right now....
Hope you guys had a good day!

He's more the FIRM supportive type...sounds like a jock strap.....
you crack me up!!!Grrrr... Mama bear's cranky.
A had baseball practice tonight. It's supposed to be from 7:00-7:30. Then K would go pick up B at dance by 8. I went to get B tonight because C's drama class isn't starting until next week.
K called at 8:15 and told me they were still at practice and he didn't know how long it would be. I was ticked. WTH?! 5 & 6 year old boys don't need to have an hour and half of practice, especially on a school night! Tomorrow he's going to be a real stinker!
K's defending the coach and saying it's the time they gave us, not the coach. Whatever... if it's supposed to be over at 7:30, then be over at 7 stinkin' thirty!
Now K's mad at me for yelling and I'm mad his on the coach's side. Stupid baseball.
One time is one thing, but now K's saying it was always an hour long, not 30 minutes. Uh... that's not what I was told. Plus, K has a job to do- pick up B from dance at 8. I'll be annoyed if it falls on me and I have to come home for 30 mins., then go get her too.
The coach said they could leave when he needed to, but if I push it anymore and tell K he needs to leave so they can get B, he'll be annoyed at me. I guess the "cool kids" or "good players" don't leave earlier than the other kids. Dads priorities are so different than moms!
On a good note- at least A played last week he was mad no one from last year was on his team, so he refused to play. K was mad. A was mad. It was a mess.
but tonight A came home so happy and told me he hit the ball to the other field and that someone had to jump the fence and get it. That's my boy!I think he's pretty good for a 5 yr old.
.
Poor baby though.
Recess... and time to play and be loud. And Sarabeth did not get that gene from me like I sort of wish she had...( it can be a curse.. she has the roots of it.. but will not keep pushing if it's hard) she got her Dad's
just slip by gene. I'm Open for a "Meet" ... anybody mildly serious ??Lessa: Great now I want to go to Williamsburg.....:
HOW DID YOU SLEEP THROUGH THAT??
Well IF this storm does not bring him... She has reinforcments coming behind her..
hi kat!!Tomorrow we are running some errands and planning on relaxing out in the neighborhood somewhere, at least to be out of the house because the weather has been beautiful!
Night all![/COLOR]
have a great time on your trip!!Hi everyone!
Well, I've got to go to the hospital today for pre-op bloodwork after taking DD4 to preschool. Then, I've got Moms in Touch (prayer group) and I think I'm going to try to eat lunch at school with DD7 (since I won't be able to do that again for a little while).
So, I won't be back until at least noon. Keep the chatter to a minimum, please!
so.
We have our playgroup parent potluck dinner tomorrow night, which should be fun. We're doing Italian, so I am bringing garlic bread. I told my friend that I feel lame only bringing that (well, and wine) but that's the beauty of these - with 7 people bringing something, none of us need to bring a lot, you know? The hostess does the main dish, so...
So, I'm off to be lazy - see you all in a little bit! I really wish everyone a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious morning.
Good Morning everyone!
With all this talk about napping I think I'm heading to take one myself. Linds is at school and DR doesn't go to preschool until noon so I just may snooze a bit on the couch and let DR chill, eat breakfast and watch a movie. I'll be able to clean in peace and quiet when both of them are in school.
Lindsey actually wanted to get a hot lunch today. I guess she wasn't liking what I was packing her. Either that or she wants to try it out once to see what it's like.
Have a good day everyone!
katt-- that sounds like a tough situation with your daughter.
On a good note- at least A played last week he was mad no one from last year was on his team, so he refused to play. K was mad. A was mad. It was a mess.

Very nice to talk too

on the chattingSo, Woody was fine this morning. Maybe it was just "middle of the night" sadness - even though it was only 10:30 or so.
So she gets mad at me.
. We got to see the classroom, and meet the teachers. They seem nice. Can't really tell much after only a half hour, KWIM? We also picked up his uniforms. I will take pics on Monday, Jimmy's first day.
The floor took TWO moppings! Blech!
Awww!I will miss everybody, especially HSM - oh and TE!!!
Keep on wishing Hanna and Ike away for me please. I'll talk at you when I get back. Be Good!!

But too much fun is another problem.
Sara's BFF left for a school last year that... UH.. I Think Plays too much.
K-5th grades have NO TESTS !!
They Do projects, Plays, Write Stories and Poems, Lots of Field trips and go Swimming, Do Music Lessons, and have SERIOUS ART CLASSES... all to encourage their Imagination and their Creative sides.
Yes Today's School Kids do not get enough of those things.. But These kids do not appear to get enough or any of the basics. Sara's Friend has serious Panic issues.that was why she left School. At first she did home schooling.. but you still have to take tests.
So now Emma LOVES to go to school... WELL DUH.. It's PLAY TIME.
Now I would expect Emma's outlook to change some next year as they do some testing in "middle school". So They will probably begin to teach all the "educational stuff" ( 1+1 = 2 , Red, Blue, Black, Washington DC is our National Capital.. etc)
So Sara is still bugging me to send her there, and I tell her... " Uh Sara.. if I do.. I am afraid you will be behind for 6th Grade next year WHEN YOU WOULD GO BACK TO PUBLIC SCHOOL." I will not compromise your education to make you happy.I tried getting you into a new School but I could not. I can not afford the Private Schools , I would love to send you to one." You only get stronger by trials. Yes too many will destroy your spirit if there is too much failure. That is not your problem... you do not want to Try hard.. it needs to come easy or you want to quit."
So she gets mad at me.
And Sarabeth did not get that gene from me like I sort of wish she had...( it can be a curse.. she has the roots of it.. but will not keep pushing if it's hard) she got her Dad's
You're making the best choice for her. I wish we could.Katt said:
