The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 20

[Eeyorecln]

! I didn't realize that children and parents like that really existed until this year's preschool class. I have one child that has become very hard to deal with, and I think that he is making it hard for the other children. I am working to have him removed from the class if he can't begin to behave.

The part that really floored me was his mother's attitude. I told her Tuesday that he has become very disobedient and defiant and that he is spitting at people and on the furniture. Not just raspberry type spitting either. She basically laughed it off and said that in his favorite Tom and Jerry cartoon they spit milk out and he thinks it's funny. She told me that she tells him to stop. I informed her that I was ignoring some of the behavior (because he's definitely testing for a reaction), but when it impacts the other children, I need to take some action. Today he ended up sitting in a chair away from the class at least a half dozen times in 2-1/2 hours! Next step is that she or his father will be called to remove him from class for the day. I told dh that I have suddenly become in favor of corporal punishment in the classroom (only half joking!). If I ever had a report about one of my children like that I would be , and here she just laughs it off. Today his father dropped off and picked up, and he didn't even make an attempt to find out what his behavior was like today.

Sorry that my for you turned into a vent for me!

Zack spit once at school. I told the teacher to feel free to throw the book at him so to speak. And then he was also disciplined at home severely. No priveleges including after school treats for a week. I was downright horrified. Luckily this teacher knew me from Blake and knew it wasn't normal behavior for our kids. But things like this is why I don't let the kids watch Shrek and movies like that. Zachary with all his problems doesn't differentiate from a cartoon being funny to it not being polite in real life.

Wow sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time! We are thinking about a day or two at US as well. It really is not a bad place & they do have some neat rides. Hopefully we can meet up again in Dec!

That would be fun.

Thanks for the fireworks and the love from my DDA family!!

How sweet of your DH to offer to upgrade your ring. I'm the same as I don't think I would want to change my ring as it's the one I accepted that he put on my finger. I'll never forget I took it off at my mom's house to do dishes and my mom shook out the table cloth in the yard that I had set it on. I was in tears as we had just got engaged that month and my ring seemed gone. But Mike went out with a flashlight and scoured that yard the whole evening until he found it. He was really a nice guy before he became a workaholic. Maybe someday he'll realize work isn't the only fulfilling thing in life.

Clhristi with this post you got the milestone. Congrats.

The marathon was great! I finished and came home with a Donald Duck medal. I've been doing a trip report. If you go back a few days you should be able to find it. I'm no good at searching, so maybe someone else can point you in the right direction. I've had fun typing it all out!

I'll definitely try to search it. WTG on doing the marathon and getting a medal.

Well ladies, as it seems the men have gone off else where.

J/K, I know they are busy with work and real life.

Glynis loved your trip report. So glad to see Alan is turning into a disney holic like the rest of us.

I had a pitiful proposal, wedding, wedding night, no honeymoon...oh well there must be some redeeming qualities to Jim or I wouldn't still be married!!

He needs to propose to you for you to remarry him on your 25th.

Hi all. I have been so busy with the WPASADI contest I have not had time to check in. I have tried to read along whenever I get a chance.

Not sure if I ever posted after we went to court on the bankruptcy but every thing went well for us. Now we just have to wait till it is discharged at the end of February.

I also want to thank everyone for the lovely Christmas cards that were sent my way. They sure did brighten my days.

Sending for the discharge.

We have the dates for The Little Mermaid here in CO......July 29th through early September. Open beds for anyone who wants to come see the show!!

Zachary loves Ariel. I could see it now but honey I'm sure CO is on the way from OR to IA. The map is wrong.

Evening everyone,

I've been way behind and just now caught up.

Loved the snow pictures of Olivia Jennifer, being in the south too we also get excited about snow.

We had inventory at the store this week and I've been pulling 12 - 14 hour days, I had today off but spent most of it sleeping. The results we not terrible but they weren't great either.

I'm off in a bit to design a picture for my daughter. This weekend is her 21st birthday and with the help of Chanon, (Thank you) we will be taking her on a trip to Vegas during her spring break. Mom and daughter will be going to see Thunder Down Under, so the picture will be of them with some sort of invite on it. It's not my birthday but I'm pretty excited about it.

Have a good evening and stay warm.

Debbie

Have a fun time. I spent my 21st in Reno visiting my older sister. It was a lot of fun.

We met May 16, got engaged August, and married Dec. 6.

Wow, 3 weeks in December. Sounds like a wonderful trip. Are the kids missing much school? I would love to be there around Christmas, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
Deb

Actually with looking at this year's calendar only around 4 days. Schools tend to get out much earlier here for Christmas break and it's a private church school so they get out a little earlier. I've always wanted to go at Christmastime and especially more so after seeing DL at Christmastime in 2005. And our anniversary is in Dec. it will be our tenth so we said let's go and family members started adding on. Before we knew it it was this big trip with extended family. I'm having fun planning it as DH is letting me make the dining and activity decisions. And I'm having as much fun planning some surprises for my niece. I feel bad for her as it isn't her fault my sister chooses to stay in a marriage where everything revolves around him. No trips, she doesn't get birthday parties. He gets to spend the money on what he wants and that never seems to be his daughter.

CA sounds so far away from family. I don't know what we'd do without my family around to help us with the boys. They love to spend time with the Grandparents too. It is a win win situation for us.

Yup that is the one thing I miss the most is having family around for the kids and the help.

Garswh Thanks

I actually caught Chris tearing up when he read my post.

He said to say hi to everyone so you wouldn't think that he dropped of the planet. He has read everything, but for some reason goes to bed instead of posting

Bed? Why go to bed when you can post. Of course, my little 2 YO imp doesn't know most people do not stay up until midnight.

 

[Eeyorecln]

And with 1000, I'm going to say goodnight!

Congratulations.

It was alright. I'm still sick, my poor nose is rubbed so dry and raw from tissues it isn't funny. I'm even using the lotion ones and constanly rubbing my nose with various moisturizers and things but it doesn't help. I should head to bed but am too lazy to get out of the chair I am sitting in.

Have you tried Vaseline around your nose it helps with the boys.
Hope you feel better soon.
