Tj is growing up.

Well today TJ lost one of his teeth. It is really his 3rd one but this time it was awesome. I didn't even know it was loose. He showed his daddy but then he realized that he likes to pull them out. So he quickly retreated to a good distance so he could discuss his options. He wanted to know if I thought he would look cute with out his top tooth. "Well of course!" I said. No one on this planet is as cute as you. Well in a few minutes he had to leave for gymnastics so he had to inhale a chicken patty sandwich. (his fave meal, absolutely dry, with a slice of cheese) All of a sudden in a very not so sure way he said, "I think my tooth fell out!" I turned to look and he was holding it in his hand. Then he said,"Yelp, it sure did!" Oh but wait there is more. He wanted to see what the new hole in his head felt like. So he stuck his finger in his mouth. Upon examining his finger, what do you think he saw? That is right! BLOOD!!!!! TJ ran to the bathroom as fast as he could all the while screaming that he is going to bleed to death. His dad and I tried not to laugh. He is so darn cute, you just can't help but giggle at him. He returned after he rinsed a new man. Of course, he had a tissue with the residual blood on it so he could show us all the great agony he had been under. When just a split second ago he had said,"I think my tooth fell out!" without a whimper or a wail.

Oh my goodness what a completely innocent soul my TJ is.

Will she grow out of it?

My daughter has been a whiner since way back. She whines at the drop of the proverbial hat. The noise bothers me so much that I cringe knowing that she is about to erupt into that ear piercing siren until she gets her way. Well if you have ever met me, you will know that she doesn't get her way very often. Unless of course I just want her to shut it up.

Her progress report came today. For the first time she had a failing grade on it. Instead of telling me she went out to play. My friend asked me if I had seen my children's progress reports because her daughter did not get an acceptable grade (80) so I went fishing in her backpack. When I saw the grade I immediately went to find her. I asked her to please come inside. We need to discuss your progress report. OH NO, WRONG WORDS!!

I should have tempted her into the house with food. She began to make noises and throw fits and scream it's not my fault before she ever got to the door.

Well her dad is not home yet. He is going to be angry. I do take part of the blame. The subject is Language Arts, and the grades are low on her vocabulary tests. Shouldn't we help her study? Is it up to us that she has study skills instilled in her at this age so that she will grow up knowing how important it is to know the work?

She will be able to bring this grade up but I am afraid of the noise her dad is going to make when he gets home. lol

I need to go get the cotton ready now.

Boy Trouble

My Caiti is in 3rd grade. She is my sweet baby girl and I love her so very much. There is a boy in the 3rd grade that earlier this school year started to do things that were of a inapropriatte manner. He had other students write poems, notes and say things to her. The words sex were involved several times.

This is all very upsetting. Last Thursday, this boy said somethings to by daughters best friend, at an after school program, that were on the same lines. The only problem is that they were much worse. He used visuals, and said he wanted to f*** her. He Stated a few other disturbing things and then said he knew exactly what he would do to her.

I have gone through the channels and after a long weekend of studying and not taking no for an answer I believe that the School, District and After school program are taking a proactive stance on this matter.

This child, in my opinion, needs to be looked at. What is going on at his house? Why does he think this is OK. He is definetly bullying my daughter.

Uggh.

Dear Lord, Please let the children be innocent. Let the children be free of this behavior. Let those that heard these words forget them. Please Lord, Let the children be free of humility.

Thanks for letting me rant...

Reflecting

Today I am reflecting on my life. I sometimes wonder why my entire life has seemed to have been an up hill struggle. I do thank the Lord for all that he has given me, maybe I don't thank him enough. I know in my head that all that he brings to me is to teach me so that I will be able to help those who are faced with the same challenge in the future.

How do I tell him that I am tired of the struggle? How do i tell him that I just want to have a few years with your family that are pleasant and no one gets hurt. Would I have to sell my soul? I won't do that.

I will keep fighting and struggling. One day my life will be all that I have worked for. My children and my husband will be with me and we will reflect again on the past and remember all of the good times. There have been so many good times.

Have you ever bitten off more than you could chew?

Rant over for now

Wow so much has been going on!

Well Hello again. It has been such a long time since I have posted on here and it is probably because I would like for this blog to go a totally different way. My mentor and dear friend told me I needed to update. She is horribly correct when she says things. Almost everytime. I would never tell her that face to face though.

I have just started my first college class. I am so excited and overwhelmed. I went to sleep and woke up thinking about it. I am just hoping I can get through it with an A and don't look like a complete goof.

I have been working on some digi kits and I am horrible embarrased by them. They don't look anything like I think they should. I think that I can do it all on my own but I really don't think that is ever going to happen. My pages are looking so much better. I am on 5 ct's now and I think I may be ruining my marriage if I don't keep my house clean and my dh fed before getting on the computer to scrap and check the forums that I am also moderator of. With the scrapbooking, Substitute teaching, Volunteering, College and being a mom and wife I need to start prioritizing and writing stuff down.

Oh my goodness, how do I get it all done. I have to make costumes and carry the kids around to practice and brownies. LOL I love it. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I guess the good thing is baseball is over until next year. Brownies is only one week and school will be out on the 5th of June. Then we have all the summer fun stuff.

So until next time. Rock on and don't forget to lift your voice to the lord no matter how off pitch you are!!

I feel so old!

I turned 36 a couple of weeks ago and I have been having some tests done because I have had several bladder infections. Well I have Kidney stones and fat on my liver! Isn't that a sight. I need to lose about 50lbs. Then more tests. High Cholesterol and Low Thyroid! What is going on? I then went into the dentist for a normal cleaning and they wouldn't clean my teeth because I needed to see a specialist. WHAT!!! So I went into see the periodontist, and I need 4 bone graphs and major gum surgery. Maybe I should just get them all pulled. I have just cried all week. Yes, I found all of this info out this week and I have become a bit depressed. I have started eating a low fat diet and we are starting to get everyting together so that I can get my teeth worked on.

I just hope that everyone out there takes care of themselves. Watch your diet and make sure you go to the dentist annually and also see your doctor for a physical.

God bless you all!
