HOME TODAY...


Things are slow at work so I decided to stay home. The kids are in Parris Island with the NJROTC. My son really enjoyed ROTC last year and this year he doesn't even want to think about it. We really want him to find his niche' which he is not even looking for *sigh*. BUT I think 2 days at Marine boot camp will be good for him. My daughter was excited to go, this is her first time. I am wondering what she thinks. Her BF is on the trip with her as well as her best friend so I know that is all good.
Last year's trip.
I went last year and it was so much fun. I was looking forward to going this year but 2 of the parents that are going are....well... lets just say... are not my kind of people. I think they are trying to re-live their teen years. They don't shut up and they are always telling the cadets what to do. Um, hey (jerky) people, the upper class-men, you know, the ones with rank are the ones to direct the other cadets, NOT YOU! We as parents are ONLY there for support. We can listen, offer advice or a shoulder to lean on. We are not there to have out heads so far up the butts of the people in charge that we can see out their mouths! We are not there to chit-chat with Lt. Colonel (he is the "teacher" in charge). We are not there to change the program to suit our needs nor are we there for ourselves. UGH! Now you all know why I am not there. I was really looking forward to it too. Oh well. It was better I didn't go than to say something to these 2 morons in front of the children that I would eventually regret.
Please pray and send good karma that my son figures it all out soon. I am getting tired.

ALMOST HERE....


We all went to the school open house yesterday. Yep, open house on a Sunday. That was strange. The schedules look good except my daughter who is the most gentle sweet person on this earth has the same Language Arts teacher from last year. This woman can't stand her for whatever reason. *heavy sigh* I am ready to have her switch (only if I have to). Of course I hate to be that mother! Babygirl said that this teacher has no classroom control and is completely haggard which she takes out on the kids, ugh! The rest of her teachers are like the dream team of teachers that every parent wishes for their child and if we switch this one teacher, we have to switch them all. Which of course we don't want to do. So she is going to suck it up and try to deal with her and hope for the best. Poor kid. I told her to go in with a great attitude and win her over with her personality.
Littleman has a fairly good group of teachers, I am pleased thus far, give me some time though. He is trying out for football next week. We shall see... Hope everyone has a great Monday, mine has started out with a bang!!!

AT LEAST IT'S NOT MONDAY ANYMORE....

I went to the dentist yesterday. I can not stand going to the dentist. Talk about anxiety attack! I survived BUT I have cavities... Can you believe that? I am 40 freaking years old! I brush twice a day and I floss, what the heck!!! My kids have been to the dentist twice in their whole entire life, nothing no cavities nothing!!!
I give up...
