[wsushocker]

I was quite proud of myself that I managed to put together an order that stayed within my set budget.

My darling Wigd, keeps to a budget as well. Unfortunately for me, her budget has no ceiling!

I hope you can find a way to show this to Connor.....

New Vera! Very nice. I will admit I've never been a Vera person and I think its because I am so old that I remember when stuff like that was big during the 70's. I had a hard time when bell bottoms came back, too!

I got such a good laugh out of your story about Chelsea. It's amazing isn't it what kids think their parents will fall for, although Chelsea's final story was really a reach with you being her teacher.

Ha ha ha! I love your video that you made!

Hi Jackie!!! Sorry I've been MIA but I'm back!! I do not look forward to my girls being in middle school--uggh!! ANd I have TWO girls at that!! YIKES!! How funny that Chelsea is bugging you about a Disney trip!! Little does she know . . .

 

[JenAusty]

I'm sorry you are having such an issue with school work. That seems pretty common were I work with middle schoolers. Most of them will do their homework with us but then don't turn it in... I don't get that concept at all. But I'm surprised that you can teach your own daughter.. I never thought you could do that, that must be hard in itself.

I like how chelsea is choosing what she wants and some of it is very close to what you already have. You are good! hehe

How in the world do our kids expect to fool us when we're the teacher?

I was Rachel's Lang. Arts and Math teacher the year she was in 6th grade. The one benefit was that she could never say, "That's not how my teacher said to do it!"

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Aww, I hope Chelsea's current routine is helping out her grades. But good for you for implementing the "change". Education is so important!

And how funny that she's been asking about a Disney trip! It's going to be a wonderful surprise!

Jackie....that last update...the one before the video posting....made me laugh and cry all at the same time. How easy it is to sit here in my family room and giggle at the oh, so common 7th grade behavior of Miss Chelsea.....but then I begin to cry when I realize that in 7 more years, I am going to be going through the same exact thing!!! AGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! Oh aren't middle schoolers fun!?!?!??! I am on board with you 100% with Chelsea's new "way of life," and think that you will see such an instant change in her grades. BUT, I have to embrace my inner Amy Poehler from SNL when reacting to Chelsea's claim that she didn't know the final was on Monday......Really Chelsea??? REALLY???? Your L.A. teacher tells you for over a week that your final is on Monday, and you even prepare for it in class, and yet believe to NOT know when the final is?!?!? REALLY?? REALLY, REALLY?!?!?!?! And to even top off that little morsel Chelsea, said L.A. teacher is YOUR OWN MOTHER!?!!!!!?!?!? REALLY CHELSEA???? REALLY!?!?!?!?!

Hee hee hee!!!!! I can jest now, but do realize how soon I might be faced with the exact same scenario!!! God love her!!! I hope she did well on it!!! BTW.......you are going to have to tell me what it is like having your own child in class. I know Megs LOVES the idea of me teaching at her school now that she is only in Kindergarten, but what happens once she reaches my grade level? How should I best handle that situation?

I also have to add that I so LOVED her conversation about WDW......she is sneaky....I wonder if she has covertly discovered our little operation going on here.....hope she hasn't gone undercover on the DIS to find out what is up with her annual trip!!!! Won't she be ECSTATIC when she finds out what you have planned?!?!?!! Were you excited to hear that she wants to go to CBR????? That is AWESOME!

 

[BippityBoo]

Ohhh wow, teenagers My DD is 6 and I am already scared!

I am sorry you are having to "punish" her like that. I am sure you are ready for Summer!!

Great job on nailing her trip wants She will be thrilled.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Good Morning Jackie!
Look who's already up!
They have some great bags behind the counter at WOD and one ""might" be making it's way home to Kansas.....

Quit staring at that clown and get back to bed!

 

[jillyb]

Quit staring at that clown and get back to bed!

But then wouldn't she just be trading one clown for another?

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

You are totally cracking me up over here. What in the world was she thinking with you as her teacher? That is pretty bold. Oh I dread those days with my DD. I am really trying to cherish every moment that I have with her while she is little b/c I know what is coming. I feel for you. I think you are doing the right thing by rocking her world though. I would do the same. Keep us posted on how that goes.

I have one question though.......... how in the world are you getting a preteen, social butterfly to love Disney as much as you? I thought all kids that age thought they were too cool for Disney. I sure hope my DD is like yours when she is that age!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Poor Shocker!

 

[jenjolt]

OOOH...sorry I'm so behind CP!!! Crazy Crazy Craziness abounds!!!! I went through the same phase Chelsea did in about 6th grade and thankfully my parents were a lot like you and Charles and changed my lifestyle and while I wasn't thrilled at time I was eventually thankful to them!!

Can't wait to find out which VB you choose WOOT!! Love me some VB! I think after my move I'm going to reward myself with one of those LOL!!!!

Chelsea...with Disney anxiety..who would have guessed LOL!!!!!!! Can't wait to see how the surprise reveal goes!

I promise I am going to reply to everyone soon (it has been a crazy week), but didn't want to pass up a chance to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wigdoutdismom (Anita) and Shocker (Marc) went to DHS today and sent a very festive greeting to Chelsea from her main man, Bo, on Facebook, and I just couldn't resist sharing it!

Bo was feeling very Irish and very lucky!!!
