Who here is not in the "clique" like me? Part 3

[pozey]

Ok I have another funny story for you guys that Emma's story reminded me of. This one is a story about baby me. When I was a little under 2, I was at my grandparents house. The story goes that I had a habit of feeding small bits of food to my grandma off of my plate. She got used to it and sometimes would just open up without really paying attention. This one time, she rolled the bit of food around trying to figure out what it tasted like, and couldn't place it so she asked me what it was. Beaming, I told her, "Was a booger!"

I guess it runs in the family.

(Just for the record: I don't do that anymore. And Grandma always looks at what children feed her now.)

That story ma be even funnier!!!

 

[lindakmonty]

Linda - the stories (yours and everyone else's) about Kenny are cracking me up!!! What a funny kid!
Your X is going to try and get his job back - where you work?? Oh, that ought to be fun!

Lyzziesmom - ewww... booger on your face? gotta love 'em! So I'm assuming Emma and Kenny got along well on the trip? It seems like they would. Oh, and if I didn't mention (because there've been so many posts the past couple days I can't keep up...!) the photos of Miss Emma and Captain Jack are precious!

yeah, we'll see what happens w/him Emma and Kenny got along great. I wish we would have had more time for them to play more though. I think the first day Emma was just tuckered out and asleep for a few hours. Kenny was like.."can I check on her". He's just so sweet. Emma kept saying she was going to eat Kennys fries, so when I was at Walgreens I saw marshmallow fries and got them for Kenny to give her Now I guess she's saying Kenny is her favorite friend So sweet! I have some adorable pix but I didn't want to post them w/o lyzziesmom's permission first

Linda, I did hear that one about Donna and Kenny in the car!!!! I was laughing pretty hard at 'Ohana when I heard that....OOOH, 'Ohana...I'm getting hungry!!! I need to get some lunch I think!! But it wont be nearly as good!!!

Wasn't Ohana great! ohhh so good. I want some of that bread pudding!! He sure isn't shy!! He loves talking about our trip. He keeps saying he'll be 7 before he will get to go on another cruise. He's really worried about that

Brittany wasn't looking forward to going to school today. I feel so bad for her. Just one more strike towards her poor self esteem. We're going to see a movie and possibly dinner this weekend. I could always call the other parents and tell them how mean their daughter is to mine! I would like to wring their nasty, mouthy, snotty, bratty, hormonal necks!!!! Last year Madison had a girl that she thought was her friend tell her that she ignored her at school because she hated her. She told her on Valentine's day and completely crushed her.



I'm sorry your son had a bad day! I hope the teacher was able to deal with it properly. What is it with Valentine's day? 2 part dinners are always good. Make more room for desert!

Amber: 200 snow globes!! Where do you have them displayed and are they all Disney? I agree, pins are a good thing to collect. I put them in a frame and hang them on the wall.

Yolanda: Lobster dinner!! Yum!

What's with this too many images!(I'd put the bashing the computer, but it won't let me!!!!)

Lesa...wow...sounds like we are in the same situation with our kids and their self-esteem. Let me just say it stinks! Makes me want to My DS in the third grade has been having a difficutly with good friend that is very controlling (nice looking, good student, good at sports...and now I'm finding out good at poking fun at DS). Yesterday his friend was allowed (as a reward for good behavior) to give two girls a make up spelling test in the hallway. Well, he proceeds to use my DS in his "give the word in a sentence"....ie DS is the slowest person on earth (the spelling word being slowest)....DS's teeth are not white (spelling word white). One of the girls told him his teeth were yellow when she came back into the classroom and that's the only thing I knew about at the party. I helped him brush it off but didn't realize until I got home that it was his "friend" stirring the pot. While I was gone on our trip his friend gave him a little shoulder jab and knocked DS into is locker telling him he was "in his way". These are small matters but DS is not sure how to handle himself. When he ignores him his friend he gets in his face and talk like a baby saying "ahhhh look who's sad.... look who's mad...etc". Grrrr!

I hope you and Brittany have a nice dinner and movie....

 

[lyzziesmom]

Linda: post any pictures you want, as long as I don't look dorky in them I don't care! I wish the kids had more time together too, but poor Emma was so wiped out whenever you guys were there. Next time!

YM: that's awful about your DS's "friend." I have a lot of talks with my kids about how friends should act, and how even if you think you like them, if they hurt your feelings then they are not really your friend. When I was a kid we moved every 2 years or so, and I was so eager to make friends that a lot of times I made bad ones, so I know exactly how your DS feels. Is the teacher aware of this? I know at that age they'd rather endure the abuse than tell the teacher, but something needs to be done before this kid turns into more of a bully.

I just got back from my appointment with my pain specialist. He's trying me on a new medication and finally suggested an MRI to see why nothing is helping. There is a possibility they've been treating the wrong thing all along! I had to sign a "medication agreement" that says I will not get narcotics from any other doctor. Now I understand why they need to do that, and it is a standard document, but it makes me feel a little weird about the whole thing. Oh well, I'm just hoping to find something that helps.

 

[lyzziesmom]

You guys are all making me so glad I'm not a kid anymore. Those days were sometimes so hard. I'm glad I have good friends like you guys now who won't tease me behind my back.












You guys will do it to my face.

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

YM- I'm so sorry that your DS is dealing with a bully. That is so terrible.

Lyzziesmom- I hope you finally get some relief from your pain. Did your coworker ever show up?

 

[lyzziesmom]

Lyzziesmom- I hope you finally get some relief from your pain. Did your coworker ever show up?

Thanks, I hope so too. It's not even that it's so bad most of the time, it's just constant and very tiring. Yes, my coworker showed up 10 minutes before I had to leave!! And then of course I scrambled to get there on time, missed my turn, and sat in the waiting room for an hour and sat in the exam room for another 20 minutes. At least the reason he's always late is because he actually spends time w/patients and talks to them, not just in & out like a lot of dr's. He started me on a new, longer-lasting med that is morphine-based, so hopefully that'll help. He gave me a choise between that and a pain patch, I'd never heard of either so I didn't know which to try. He finally suggested I try the med first and I can always switch later if it's not right for me. The problem is, I react to meds differently than most people. Most don't work much, but some will work TOO much and I never know with new ones, so it's kind of scary. I was very leery about the patch, since it seems harder to regulate how much you're getting.

Sorry for the ramble, that's just what's been on my mind today. Feel free to ignore as usual.

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Lyzziesmom- I have the opposite affect, medicine usually knocks me out!

Feel free to ramble, I am still so depressed about my car, I slept horribly because of it last night. Ugh!

That is HORRIBLE! It made me mad just reading your post. So sorry that your son is having to go through that. And they're NOT small matters! Bullying is a serious issue!

That's because we love you.

You know, I read this earlier, but it didn't "click" (guess I'm a little slow on the uptake today) - I just re-read it.....

I'm so sorry your ds is having to deal with this. I thought it was a girl thing. Reading what your ds "good friend" did to him just makes me so mad! This kid is doing more to your son than just being mean, he is a bully. I hope the teacher is going to take care of it. It's a tough thing when we work so hard to teach our children to respect others, then they get treated so poorly by another child and it is a struggle on how to take it from there. I have to pick up Maddie in a few, but I will pm you later.

I'm so bad, I have had chocolate for breakfast, lunch and a few snacks inbetween.


Be glad ya'll don't live in Oswego NY!

 

[lyzziesmom]

Lesa: I had Swiss Cake Rolls for a snack, and then for lunch. They are so good!! That picture of NY is scary, I can't even imagine what it must be like to live there!!

Nicole: I hope you feel better about your car soon. It'll get fixed up good as new, be thankful it wasn't anything more serious. My dad likes to pull into the garage at an angle for some reason, and he's taken off more than one mirror pulling back out, and even hit another car in the driveway. Everyone does it, it's not that bad. Don't beat yourself up over it.

YM……your son’s “friend” is no friend. Plain and simple it is bullying. And bullying should not be allowed in school whatsoever. And if I were you, I would not tolerate it.

A couple of years ago, Colton and Chase went to B&A Connections – this is a before and after school care that is run by Broken Arrow schools. It is on-site at the elementary school. Well, there are kids there from 1st through 5th grade. There was a 5th grader that used to bully a lot of the younger kids. Eventually, several of the parents (including myself) went to the principal and turns out this kid was bullying a lot of students. I believe he ended up getting suspended.

Anyway, he really got to Colton for a little while. Really affected Colton’s self-esteem. We talked to him about how kids who bully other kids like that are really the ones with problems. Colton got over that pretty well. His self-confidence right now is at an all time high. He really feels good about himself. But it wasn’t like that for awhile.

Make sure you talk to your DS. Let him know that HE isn’t the one with a problem……his so-called “friend” is the one with a problem. Don’t let it persist.

[lindakmonty]

Be glad ya'll don't live in Oswego NY!

where is the smilie showing me RUN as fast as I can NO THANK YOU I hate snow!!!!

 

[MI mom of 3]

Wow you guys have been busy!!

YM...that is horrible what your son is going thru!! Have you gotten the administration involved? That little brat shouldn't be allowed to get away with it!

Lesa...I can't believe that picture That goodness that isn't here!! I would be terrified to drive thru that. I would be afraid it would cave it on me.

Pozey...you'll have to let us know how it goes with Kayla today!

Lyzziesmom...OK those stories are funny...disgusting...but funny


2x2...what a fun experience for you. You poor thing!!

 

[hellokitty86]

Hi everyone!!

Well, this night didn't turn out to be as relaxing as I'd hoped!....This afternoon Ruby was scratched by one of my cats in the eye. It was right on her cornea, and we just got back from the vet.

We have to give her a special serum that they made from her blood every 6 hours. It is in a syringe and we just put the drops in her eye...even though I'm tramatized she is in pain I still think its cool that they took part of her blood because they said it has healing factors for her eye!!

She is acting fine, and she has a check up on Saturday. The vet wants to see if it is healing properly.

I'm exhausted after this tiring day!! I feel so sad too because there was a dalmation there that was critically ill and her owner was just bawling her eyes out. It sure put my problems in perspective!!!

I hope your guys' day was better than mine!!!!

 

[lindakmonty]

Aww Ashley...glad to hear Rubys eye will be ok.

 

[Linzybrooke]

Hugs to Britney and YM's DS!

Ashley, Ruby is cracking me up with all her little mishaps. Your angel is completely accident prone!

Nicole, sorry about your car! My sister backed down the driveway into the mailbox a couple of years ago because she forgot which side of the driveway she was on...go figure that out.

These Plum books are killing me! Nicole sent me 1-6 a couple of weeks ago and in the last 10 days I have gone through 5 and a half of them. I'll finish this one tonight or tomorrow and then I'm off in search of the rest!. My husband thinks I'm crazy and my boss keeps asking me which book I'm on so we can talk about Morelli and Ranger...

 

[pozey]

Absolutely fantastic pictures ladies!!! FANTASTIC!!!

Loved all of them!!

 

[pozey]

And no, Colton did not ask Kayla today.

I think he wants to......but just can't conjure up the nerve.

I think it is sweet that he likes her that much. I told him it was okay if he did ask her, and it is okay if he doesn't.
