Morning Hyenas!


Ok Kindergarten Round Up is today. Wish me luck. I'm trying to decide to go to the morning round up and miss his little sports class BUT probably be surrounded by people who want half day more than the night time session. But I hate to have him miss his 1st day at his sports class. I'll call the school and if they are taking the kids into the kindergarten classroom in the morning session I'll take him to that one because that might be neat for him.


I'm just rambling here.

Then its back to garage sale stuff. Yesterday Jake had taken a ton of stuff out of his room and decided he was done with the baby toys. Mostly it was the Little People stuff. Well, then by 8pm last night it was all back in his room. Morgan had gotten all sentimental about him not playing with them anymore and convinced him he needed to keep them. We are overloaded in our house. Seriously overloaded. If we were moving into the house we would lke to move in soon I would not have them get rid of anything as they would have a large playroom but that wont probably happen for another couple years because of the crazy housing market and besides he doesnt play with this stuff as it is now! He likes the big boys hot wheels sets. So today I get to talk him back into selling it. They already know all the money goes to their own little souvenier fund for WDW.

Oh June 13 or 14 for Disneland for Morgan!!!

Good Morning.

I need to vent a little again today.

So I started getting mad when DBF wouldn't answer his phone yesterday. Maybe he didn't hear it or was on a ride (he took Crazy to Magic Mountain)when I called but I know he uses it to check the time so he could have called me back.

They got home around midnight and I figured he would come straigt to bed because they stayed up all night the night before. But they watched a movie in the living room and he came to bed around 2:30am. I wanted to talk because we always talk before bed but as soon as he laid down he was out. I did manage to aks him what they were doing tomorrow and he said the Zoo and the beach. I said well maybe I'll in so I can go too and he mumbled something about Friday would be better. I asked him the plans for Friday and he was already asleep. So I came in to work today.

I am trying to plan this weekend for San Diego and book a hotel but I don't even know if he still wants to go and I really haven't had time to talk to him so I don't know what to do. I book 2 differnet rooms but have to canel by 4:00pm today if we aren't going. It's so frustrating.

Oh, and he missed therapy yesterday and today. If he misses school tonight he will get dropped from the class since he already missed one day when his flight was delayed and he missed the day his sister came in. I know both of those days he couldn't help but missing tonight will be his choice.

So sorry Moto ...I could utter words of encouragement, but I know deep down I would just want to kick him where it counts and demand he be logical about his choices . Anyways...deep down it really is good to know that he is a caring person (even if the caring is not directed at you right now), and the better you can deal with it, the sooner it will get back to normal. Besides....based off your wonderful new ticker (you sure can make a ticker for anything can't you ) you've only got 5 more days to go!!! It sounds like that dang girl sure is needy, and at least she is related and not some ex he is trying to help out - you will make it - and vent away!!!

My brother is here in town this week for his spring break vacation. My parents are out of the country on urgent business and my mom is returning this weekend. I spoke to my bro last night and he was so angry. He said all week he's been nice to my little sister, taking her to her swim lessons, etc. Yesterday she once again had her friend's mother wait for her swim lesson. I feel bad for this mom and this is not the first time this has happend. She ended up leaving without my little sister, but I feel awful because it's wasting her time and effort. My little sister pretended to be asleep. My brother had to take my grandma somewhere and even rushed home so that they would make it back in time for her friend's mom to pick her up for swimming. She pretended to be asleep and my bro spoke to her nicely 5 times, asking her to get ready and he would drop her. She refused and said something to upset him and he pulled her out of bed. Well my mean aunt showed up and she is one of the main reasons why my little sister behaves the way she does. My aunt started smacking my brother and my brother managed to drag my sister's butt out of bed and take her to swimming.

When he got home he disconnected her Wii and hid it somehwere, took away her cell phone, took her Nintendo DS's away (she has 2 for some reason which is lame) and also called one of her friends and told her she cannot come over to play today. My brother also disabled her computer so she can't go online and chat with her friends. He found out she was using the house phone and was complaining about my bro to her friends all night. My brother forced her to hang up and would not allow her to call her friends again.

My aunt kept fighting with my brother the whole day and they were arguing back and forth. She kept defending my little sister. My brother said he refuses to allow my little sister to grow up to be a b****. My parents are so busy and they are stressed out of their mind. Our whole family has tried yelling at my little sister, grounding her, but she is not afraid of being punished and she is not afraid of anyone.

The one friend my brother told not to come over, he said he met her this week and she is the biggest brat. My brother played a game against her on the Wii and she lost and threw the controller down and threw a fit. My little sister has another friend I've met who is actually a nice girl but a little bit poor in manners. I have never met this bratty girl that he told me about. Since she lost she told Alyssa that she hates my bro.


I feel bad for my brother because he is "holding down the fort" at the moment. I don't live in that house and I rarely go over there. I don't like my mean aunt and I'm also sick of my little sister's bad attitude.

She called my cell phone last week and I had missed the call. I called her back and this is how she answered the phone: "WHAT???? WHAT DO YOU WANT???" I said: "Hey, I'm calling YOU back! You called me and I wanted to know why you called." She said: "WHATEVER!!" and hung up on me. I call back and speak to my brother because I didn't know he was here in town. He said from that day when he heard her speak, he knew that my little sister had become a brat.

My mom thinks that if you speak nicely to my little sister that she will be more willing to cooperate (just like the saying that you can catch more bees with honey). The thing is, I think she tests us to see how far she can push us and how much she can get away with. My aunt promised her a game and ended up backing out on the promise. This infuriated my little sister and they had a screaming match.


I'm not sure what to do, my brother is at his wits end. I told him that I agree with him taking away her prized posessions.

I wish I could send my little sister to Taiwan. She should live there for a few months. The kids there are so respectful of their elders, they learn from a young age how to handle themselves (they ride the public bus to school, take taxis, take the subway, etc). They are not materialistic and are not spoiled. When I was in Taiwan and had met some family friends who were a little bit older than my little sister, I was surprised at how mature they were. I know this has to do with one's environment and culture, etc., but my little sister needs some serious rump kicking!

Good morning, hyenas!
No snow this morning. I couldn't decide whether to be happy or sad, but since I had to drive DS3 to school this morning, I guess I'm happy I didn't have to go sliding around in it.

Besides....based off your wonderful new ticker (you sure can make a ticker for anything can't you ) you've only got 5 more days to go!!! It sounds like that dang girl sure is needy, and at least she is related and not some ex he is trying to help out - you will make it - and vent away!!!

Had to go back and re-check Moto's post to see the ticker you were talking about. OMG, that's hilarious! You go, girl!!!

So I got up on time this morning (7:00 a.m., usually I pry myself up sometime before 7:30) because I got to bed at a decent time last night. Yay!

I showered and dressed while the boys were still sleeping; it's so nice not to have 'help' with that.

At 7:30 I put a stack of clothes (an outfit) in DS7's room and saw he was just waking. I told him it was time to get up, and showed him the clothes I'd set out near him.

When I got back to my room DS3 was just waking, so I shooed him in to the potty and got him dressed. Then DS7 stumbled down the hall and said he wasn't feeling well. We hugged a bit, and he said he felt like he was going to throw up, so I told him to go into the bathroom and wait. After a few minutes he let out this enormous belch, and then came out smiling.

He was still interested in staying home until I told him that was fine, but if he was too sick to go to school he was spending the day in bed. He said he was hungry, so I said, "Let's go have some cereal, and we'll see how you feel after that."

Naturally they were horsing around during breakfast, and then again when I sent DS7 to brush his teeth, so I'm guessing he's feeling juuuuust fiiiiiine.

He decided to go to school, so we got backpacks and kids loaded up into the vehicle. When I dropped him off I gave him a hug and reminded him that if he started to feel bad again, to tell his teacher and they'll call me to come get him. I'll be home all day today. He nodded and smiled; he seemed reassured, so maybe he's not 100% today, it's hard to tell. Hope I didn't just send a sickie off to infect all his friends.

Wow Shawna - what all did I miss??? What happened to the school, it all seemed decently ok last year

She asked in the school's office yesterday if they were offering half-day kindergarten next year. She'd heard the full day is the same material presented as the half-day, just more play time (extra recess, etc.) in the full day. So she wants Jake in half-day, and apparently they had like 6 half-day classes last year.

The gal in the office not only said that at this time they were NOT planning to offer half-day, but she went on to say (in a somewhat snotty tone) that the full-day was more convenient for working parents like herself, and Shawna thought that was a slam against SAHMs.

Seriously, I can't imagine why a school would go from 6 half-day classes one year to NONE the next, that's nuts! And Shawna says their neighborhood has a ton of SAHMs anyway, so surely they will take that into account?

You have to go with what the need/desire is, not just what you THINK they're going to want. I don't get it.

I am confused because both of my kids went to that school last year. I guess I don't remember how bad it was, or didn't hang out there often enough

I know AZ passed a law a couple of years back mandating full day kindergarten, and last year was the first year of partial implementation (offering I think only one or two classes, and pulling only those kids who had signed up to "pay" for full day anyways)

Anyways, I hope it all works out for her. I agree that they should have annexed the district a couple of years back, but Higley fought to maintain the schools (they merged/dissolved the town, but not the schools )

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Whoaahhhh, pixster!

Your brother is dead on, tell him not to back down!

We would never have been allowed to get away with that behavior, though I will say that my DSis (also the youngest) got away with a lot more than the rest of us. NOBODY talked back to my dad except her. Some of the things that came out of her mouth I was just shocked, and then I waited for my dad to do something but he just grumbled. I was TICKED OFF! Had I said something snotty like that, my butt woulda been blistered and I would have been grounded for a month!

And yes, she still has a bit of that attitude today. She rarely has something kind to say about anyone, or much positive to say at all. Sometimes she's fine, and other times she's just so negative, it's hard to be around. DH has a hard time being around her when she's like that.

Good luck to your brother, and to your parents. They seriously have their hands full, and need to do what they can NOW while they still have some control of her. She needs some hard boundaries, and some hard consequences for her misbehavior.

Wow Pix, I sure dread the years coming up with my DD. Hopefully they can figure something out to straighten out the attitude. You have mentioned many times that she pretends to be asleep when it is time for swimming - is there something going on there I know at that age the last place I would want to be is anywhere in a bathing suit, did something happen there and that is why she doesn't want to go back I don't know, it just seems strange it always revolves around the swimming.
