the pure overjoyed excitement in his voice
"mom mom mom, guess what we got to use in art class? "
not even able to wait for my answer he went on
"we got a camera, and we went and took self portraits, and I got an HP and Jacob was my partner and he got a Nikon coolpix and we get to use mac notebooks and we are going to learn how to use photoshop, and I'm going to take a picture of the big map and make it behind my picture!!!!!"
finally he stopped to take a breath and then he smiled and said
"this is the coolest school ever, I have to write a report...a narrative the point of view of an animal in the zoo, mom they have this organizer that makes it so easy to figure out how to do it...I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!"
*sigh*
what a difference a day makes
I can't wait to go to the open house next week!

well the boy got in trouble in school
he was horsplaying
he forgot that horsplaying is not allowed at this school
if it happens again he will get "in school suspension"
after that suspension
love this school
really they don't mess around

I miss my messy girl
I miss my sweetie pie, my little messy kid all day
I even miss the stuff she does that drives me crazy
I miss the craziness
I miss the messes
I miss the asking me every five minutes to help her put three Zs on her pictures of sleeping animals.
I even miss the times when she comes up to me and throws something in my face screaming uncontrollable with me trying to figure out what the heck she is upset about
She is doing fantastic in school
and she comes home and doenst want to play with me, she wants to play with her sister
can you believe it???? right now they are up playing with the stuffed animals and the doll house doing voices for their animals...it's really quite normal!!!!
we move on right?
we need to potty train the little one and become a diaper free house
I'm getting things in order ok I am still working on the papers but I hope to have that done soon
love the flylady even thought it's all so cutsie and annoying I still love it :)
dh comes home tomorrow night
hope you are all doing well

oh yeah the pictures!!!! I will add them later
here is an older one of DH and MessyI am so behind on pics I will get them off my cards TONIGHT!!! after I locate the health records paper that I already sent to Messy's school twice
I know I copied it but I should have scanned it in and kept it on file
who would have known they would lose it twice, and then *I* would lose it!
help I am under a pile of school paperwork and doctors letters and notices ROFL
ok I promise I will get the pictures up, but I MUST put all these papers in their proper file spot before I do that so It might be tomorrow LOL
tons of random chatting ...if it makes sense to you, you get a star!!
the schedule troubles is killing me yikes...it's not easy trying to be in more than one place at one time....some of the other moms have it harder than me, so I must stop complaining...I met a woman today who actually mastered picking up a kid at one side of our town and getting her kid here at the new middle school in another town ten minutes apart... it's an 18 minute drive so I must follow her next time LOL I just have to remember that if I am a few minutes late they are not going to think I am a bad parent.....really that is my fear that someone will call DSS because I am late getting there KWIM?
I will say that I Love the fact that MB's school has gone green, everything is on the website!!!! no folders full of papers!!!!and they use Google calendar,and because *I* use Google calendar all I needed to do is a few clicks and now I get an update every time they update it :)
unlike the public schools that all have online calendars and none of them use them. it's frustrating that I have to fight to find out things, or they will send home notices for things that are past... more on that later
I went to the PTO or whatever you call it last night for MB's school
it was ok I really kind of felt bad because I can't really volunteer for most of the stuff and every parent is supposed to do at least 25 hours of volunteer sheesh how am I goign to be able to do that? I don't know.
you know what else I love about this school? Umm friday he had an issue with some kids on the playground...there was no hidingit from me, the social worker at the school called and left a message on my machine right away....I called her back and we talked on MondayI told her that I thought he would benifit from a social skills group..I've got his name on a waiting list for one at the local hospital, and .today is Tuesday and when I picked him up, he was all excited to tell me that he was picked to be in a social group (with the social worker) that meets for lunch every tuesday "mom the group is COOL we eat lunch and then play cards and talk about good things, and also some not so good things that might be bugging us!" in the old school he was getting bullied every day and only when *I* saw him upset, and I dragged the info out of him, and *I* called the school and got it confirmed that "yes the kids do pick on him from time to time" did they do anything about it.
guess what I got home from the girls Kindy class yesterday??? yes Yesterday September 8th her first day of school, I got an invitation to "kindergarten playgroup day" yes that sounds neat Sept. 5th
and I got an announcement for an ice cream social....yup that was Sept. 5th too not too impressed with all that...last year I blamed the boy for not getting flyers to me until after the date is past, but now I am wondering if its the school, because obviously messy didnt get this flyer before the 5th since her first day of school was teh 8th LOL
Today was ok, she is doing great in handwriting and art (big surprise there huh)
oh and they told me I need to pack an extra snack because she has snack in the first class, lunch in between, and snack in the afternoon class...I totally forgot that fact! Oh and I was right the class is now officially peanut free, it really should be, how can you keep peanuts off of kindy kids hands??? impossible!
hmm I am betting she will be eating not much dinner if she will be eating lunch and two snacks every day haha
ok sorry I know this is just a big messy post but I have to go and get dinner ready
Dh is away so I am breaking out the zitti WHOO HOO!!!!
I love pasta :)
(next week when I am complaining about why I can't lose weight remind me of this LOL)

first day of kindergarten
I dropped the boy off at school a few minutes early
got home at 8 AM Plenty of time for Messy's bus at 8:20 right?
when it got to be 8:30 Dh called the school
bus isn't supposed to be there until 8:45
OK
when it got to be 9:05 Dh called the school
*sigh*
bus finally got here at 9:21
It's so quiet here
moo fell asleep on the floor playing
it's going to be a long day :)
no I didn't get a picture of her first day of school
I'm pathetic and my batteries were dead
now i am about to call the social worker at MB's school
since he got into a fight Friday apparently a kid told him to attack another kid in a joking manner...being MR literal the boy thought he was serious, being he so wanted to make friends so badly at his new school, he decided to do it.
nope not sure how to make things right :(
sad today
it's too quiet here
I am going to make a phone call and I wont have to go in the other room, I can sit at my desk and call.
