January 29 jan 29thI am thinking we do not need gyms!!! WE HAVE MOTHER NATURE!!!!
Shoveled for 45min at 5am today!!
Not sure If I will make it down our road we had so much.
Hummm maybe a force day off....... we will see January 28 jan 27thWell another day has come to pass and with it we lost a good person today. A friends father has passed away - A true gentleman! It makes you stop and take a moment to reflect on your own life and how that person affected it. Life is too short I have come to realize that. He lived a full life watched his kids marry and have kids and isn't that what we all want to watch our kids grow and have kids of there own. But how we live while they are growing and what we do with our short time is what it is all about.
I had a very busy afternoon we had jazz, basketball, song & dance and then it was our parent support group meeting for the school. I am happy to say that after 7 years I have offically stepped down from the chair postion. YEA! Of courst that doesn't mean I wont volunteer anylonger. No I organize the year end barbaque and put on one hell of a Halloween dinner and dance. I just won't have to run the meetings anylonger or be the one responsible for everything!!!! I have to say it was a great feeling leaving the meeting. I can now say No I can't go to the next meeting we have gymnastics instead of finding someone to help deliver kids to their events while I go to mine!!!
I managed to go swiming this afternoon - Swam 20 laps! Now if I could just curb the eating :)
January 27 jan 26thIts funny you can disapear for a while and nobody really notices. life goes on and in our busy lives we do not take the time to really enjoy-relish the snap shot seconds that pass us by. I have had so much happen yet in the whole picture it has been a blink of an eye. I may not be important to the whole world but I am important to me and my kids and my family as well as a few friends. I have been busy - mostly with the kids. Eric is 12 and Grade seven has been a roller coster ride. He joined the volleyball and basket ball teams as well as the leadership club. He has grown so much it takes my breath away. I'm afraid that I will blink and he will be grown and move away. Christopher is 10 and in grade 5. school has always been a challenge for him and seems that if I am busy every thing slides. I really have to be on my toes to keep him in line but when we do he does well. He is exactly like his grandfather and loves to learn. He takes on something new studies it learns all there is about it and moves on to the next thing. He is doing well in gymnastics and loves that as well. Elizabeth is turning 9 and is in grade 3. She struggles at school as well but again If I keep on her she does extreamly well. She is in 5 dance classes a week and I can see such an improvement this year I am blown away. I keep telling her that as soon as it is no longer fun she can quit - she is not living out my dream! She is preforming in our local dance festival over our spring break and is in 4 dances. Yikes!! Me well me is kind of fallen on the sides these days! It is hard to fit everything in and I came to the conclusion that the kids came first. I am trying to fit me into the days some times but I have had an attitude adjustment and try now to enjoy what I am doing with the kids instead of looking on it as just getting thru the day. Although some days it feels like that! I am going to attempt a triatheon this summer I think! There I have written it down now I have to do it. Me who can only swim 12 laps right now cuz I'm so out of shape!!!! Oh well as I have said before baby steps!! Anyways I am off to bed now. Good night to anyone who cares - sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite :) June 06 1/2 MarathonWell I did it!!!!!!!!! I ran my first ever 1/2 marathon on Sunday!!!!! Thats 21km in total. It took me 2 hours and 42 minutes in the blistering heat. When we finished the race it was over 28 degrees!!!!! I can't say I am ready to head out and do it again but I can say I have done it :)
YEA FOR ME!!!!!!!!
Now it is rest time!
M. March 12 UpdateWell, what can I say life got busy! But I'm back to update. Lets see..........
Bill came for a visit - 3 weeks. It was a good visit for the kids and we got along. But then he went back to Ontario and started spending more time with his friend while he was telling me how much he missed me and wants to come back! No way that did it for me. The way I looked at it was he was trying to keep all options open to him and would pick which one that benefited him the most! I know that is a very hard way to look at it but sitting in my seat that is the way I saw it. Sooooo I went to the lawyer and started the divorce papers. We have agreed on everything so it is just a matter of writing it up and submiting it to a judge. All in all it will cost about $1000. which we will split. Well he will pay half and my parents are paying the other half. ( I don't have any extra money right now ).
I am training for 1/2 marathon. Yep thats right! I am an idiot!!! We have a Y race here every year on June 3rd 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon and full marathon. I was fairly confident that I could do the 10K and mentioned this to a friend well the next thing you know she has signed me up for the 1/2 marathon clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays and has paid for it too boot. If I run the race on race day I don't have to pay her back if I don't run it I do. Fair deal except now I am training hard!!!!! GOD MY LEGS HURT! But the bonus is I have lost around 12lbs already since Christmas! Not too shabby.
Christopher is doing very well at Gymnastics and hopes to compete but for now there is no boy coaches here and he can only do the recreational for now. Elizabeth is still busy doing her Ballet and is getting ready for the Dance Festival over spring break she is in a duet - Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. They are doing really well just polishing now. Eric is driving me crazy at every turn but is very well behaved for the most part and trying hard to be the man of the house!
Thats about it You are all updated! Haven't taken any pictures lately but now that the snow is almost completely gone we will be able to get outside to work (oops I mean play) in the back yard. My dad is helping me make a vegtable garden in the back yard this spring ( not sure if it is for me or him ) but it will keep him occupide for awhile.
Well it is time to get the kids to bed! I need some peace! Have a great week!
M. January 30 Me DayWell I just have to say I have had a very good me day! First off Bill left today. I took him up to the airport just before lunch. It was goodbye for good. Don't get me wrong we will always be friends and I had a great visit with him but it is time for him to move on and there is a ( lets say to be nice ) a special woman waiting for him in Ontario so for us it was goodbye to our marrige. I had a very good 3 weeks he helped around the house, I got to go out when I wanted and I caught up on some of the sleep I have missed for the past year!!! The kids had a really good time they seem to have settled down a bit and seem more adjusted ( how long that lasts is yet to be seen ) but for now they are ok with mommy and daddy not together anymore.
When you step outside the box and look in life seems to get so complicated!!!! So I highly suggest that every once in awhile you take a me day like I did. I did some laundry, baked some cookies, went for a nice walk in the sun! with the dog and just had a slow day. Good for the soul! No yelling at the kids! Well that was my day I'm sure the day will fall to pot tomorrow but then thats tomorrow.
I'm rambling so I will end here. My mom and my dad are doing well just to let you all know. Thanks again for all your wonderfull support!
M. January 14 Stress - Life wouldn't be the same without itStress - who needs it! Not I, Not you, Not any sane person but then we all seem to have it ( If you don't are you really being honest with yourselves? ) It is how we live and work thru it that is the key.
I had a great birthday once it got going. It started with a bang! My X called and woke me up at 5am and got very pissy with me, not the best way to wake up! I managed to get the kids ready to go - dressed, fed, and snowsuited up without yelling then went out and the van wouldn't start!!!! I couldn't get the key to go all the way into the ignition. Ok now I'm stressed! I am not mechanicly inclined ( nor do I want to be! ) so at 7:15am I start calling people. Missed my first friend they had already left, My neighbor didn't answer their phone ( I only know 1 neighbor in this area ) Called my boss to let him know I would be late thought maybe I could convince him to come get us but he was at the gym so I woke his wife up. OK at this point I become female and start to cry. It was all to overwhelming to me. The kids of course are trying to calm me down and tell me it is OK which of course makes me feel like a heel. I try to explain that it is OK and this is just the way mommy deals with things. I manage to get another friend who is off for the day to come get us take the kids to daycare and drive me to work. He proceeds to go back to the house and with blowdryer in hand defrost the ignition and start the van. Thank God! Because I sure didn't have the money to get it towed to the dealership. My boss drove me into town at lunch to renew my drivers licence ( which I of course left till the last minute - not thinking I wouldn't have a van!!! ) My mom & dad sent money just to spend on me. One of my coworkers made cheesecake in my hounor and the rest of the day was great. By the way I am now 38. Not 29 and holding but a proud 38 - TWO MORE YEARS TILL DISNEY LAND!!!!
I promised the kid for my 40th birthday I would take them to Disney Land. Hopefully by then they will be tall enough for the rids and what a better way to spend a birthday! Yep I am a kid at heart! I have learned that you have to enjoy life to the fullest now! So between all the stress I try to have fun and enjoy things.
My X flew in and we picked him up from the airport. The kids are very HAPPY!!! They are having a great visit. Me - I'm enjoying the rest. I can go out at anytime do what ever I want and it is great. Just what I needed. It has been a bit hard too as he wants to get back together and I have said no. It has been a year and a half and I have changed too much and there is too much water under the bridge. He doesn't understand this but that is too bad. It is time to look after me! We will alwasy be a family - We have 3 kids we do not have a choice but we will live sepratly end of story.
Well I just talked to my mom who is still in the hospital. She is getting a little better. She is off the oxygen and walking with a walker and the infections are starting to clear up YEA!!!! She will probably be home this coming week.
I'm off the the gym! The boys are off rabbit hunting with their dad and Elizabeth has a birthday party so I am going running!!!! I can do about 5km at a time so slowly I am getting into shape! Now if I could just curtail my eating habits I might actually lose some weight!
Have a great day!
M. January 10 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! January 07 Another day, another load of laundry!It is Sunday in the middle of the work week and well the house is a mess the laundry is piled high and the kids are demanding all my attention! My life in a nut shell! Actually things are going well. Mom is doing alright from what I can tell. Dad is flying home as he has to get his throat streched tomorrow and likes the same surgeon to do it so back and forth! So we will pick him up and get a better update as to what is going on. We set up the keyboard that my parents got the kids for christmas so now I have a splitting headache but they have something new to fight over so they are back in their element. Oh well it is keeping them occupied for a couple of minutes. I managed to go to the gym and ran 5km. I got to use my Ipod that I received for Christmas for the first time so that was nice. I feel better for going to the gym as well so I will have to make a more conserted effort to get there.
Bill is flying in on Wednesday ( MY BIRTHDAY by the way ) to visit with the kids. YAHOO!!!!! I am so looking forward to the break!!! Yes I may even move into someone eles house just so I can get away. I know that sounds awful but I really need a break. I love my kids and wouldn't change anything but a break will be good. I'm going out on Friday, and Saturday so far ( and the best part - I don't have to pay a babysitter! ) can you tell I'm excited.
The weather here can't make up its mind. It snowed the other day is suppose to rain on Monday and then it is suppose to be -25 by Thursday. It is easy to meet strangers here becasue you alwasy can talk about the weather here in Prince George. Well I better get another load of laundry folded.
Hope you all have a great week! I know I will!

January 05 Update on MomHi,
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Mom had a triple by pass and is doing well. (THANK GOD!) I was at work today and did ok till about 12:30pm and still nobody had called. The stress level went up and I deceided to call my Aunt in Vancover who was the contact. She had not heard from the hospital or my dad who was driving down ( 10 hour drive ) so about 2pm she called the hospital and found out that mom was doing well and just coming around. They said the surgery went great and she was doing well. Dad got into Vancover around 3 and was going to go to the hospital I still haven't heard from him but like Aunty Wendy says no news is good news!
I think I need a Vacation - need to get away!!!!! I will sleep well tonight!.
Again thanks for caring!
M. January 04 My MomWell my mom is having a 5-by pass surgry Thursday morning. She went into the hospital on December 28th and they air vac'd her to Vancover on January 1st. We all hoped it would be minor but as it turns out its not. They can't belive she hasn't had a heart attack yet. So think lots of good thoughts for me! There are some days I just want to curl up in bed and not come out but then the kids need me to keep going! (THANK GOD FOR THE KIDS!).
M. December 30 Catching up after ChristmasWe had a wonderful Christmas! The kids got what they wanted. Probably a little more than they should have but as it was a very tight year for me and we did not do Birthdays this year it was OK to spoil them a bit. I only managed to charge 2 gifts so I am not in debt becasue of it!!!! OK Grandma & Gradpa helped a bit. They bought the Nintendo Wii for me and I will pay them back over the year. Fun was had by all. My sister and family came to visit from the 23rd to the 28th. It was short but the kids really had a good time together. They really miss each other but when you live together for a year that is to be expected. I will have to get up to Grande Prarie sometime this spring.
My mom is in the hospital. She has been having problems with her heart - It is not getting enough oxygen. So she is now waiting for a hospital transfer to Vancover for either an angiogram or by pass surgery. Life is never slow around here! At least this didn't happen 6 months ago when Dad was in the hospital!!! Mom says it is now his turn to look after her - Fair is fair! I know that next year is going to be a better year. It just has to be. I don't think I can handle much more. I know that it is said that you are only given what you can handle but I think I have had my share and it is time for some good times!!!!!
I am trying to get my house into order after Christmas. Yes please feel free to laugh at this moment with 3 kids well it is not going that well. I have managed to clean my room!!! :) I for some reason always start in my room if it is clean I feel I can do anything! I need to move on to Elizabeth's room but everytime I start I just seem to get angry at how messy my kids are. I know that I was messy as a kid but UHG!!! so I haven't made it much further than that!. I am going to move the boys in to the spare room upstairs, well it isn't really a spare room as you would think or a spare room it is the room we put everything in when we don't know where it goes. Sooooo I know have to find new places to put all these things that are in this room. (mostly my crafts - scrapbooking, cross stitching etc. ) Some of it will move into my room ( which is clean for at least one day! ) And some will have to move downstairs into the storage area - which I will have to clean to put new things into it. Yes it seems overwhelming when you are doing it all alone.
I have to say I did find Christmas a bit overwhelming as it was my first one by myself so to speak ( Bill was here last year and spent Christmas with us so helped with everything ) and getting everything from Santa set up took me till 12:30am I finally got to bed and I heard Christopher up at 3:30am. I told him to go back to bed before he woke everyone up and he said " Thats ok mom I already got them up they are in the living room! " I told them to get back to bed until at least 5:00am but one of them was up every 20min or so asking if it was time yet! 5am finally came and I let them get up and open their stockings I finally got up around 6am and Christmas began! Yep I was a tired puppy by the end of the day. But the kids had a great day and thats what it is all about. They missed their dad a bit but did ok.
He has informed me that because I had them this year he gets them next year. I told him that was fine he could buy them the plane tickets and I would buy one for me. He said what! and I said my home was open to him this year - not my fault he didn't come and I expected him to open his house to me! He agreed that was only fair. I am not missing a Christmas with my kids!
Well thats about all that is going on here. I hope everyone out there in computer land had a good Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
M. December 20 Christmas is coming!Well we know Christmas is coming! Its almost here! We can tell. Mom is tired, the parcel arrived from Grandma, The Christmas concert was last night and the kids are not doing anything at school. I think I am so behind I will have a couple of late nights this week trying to get everything done. The Christmas Concert was very good this year. I went early as it was in the church so I could get good seats. We were in the 2nd row! As as it is a catholic school it does have a religous theme to it but it was absolutly wonderful. My youngest, Elizabeth, was the donkey that carried Mary to Bethlehem and she did a very good job! The Grade 7's did a very powerful finish with a stirring rendition of Christ's life from birth to the reserection. It was stunning. They did a great job. So thats it the Christmas Concert is over Christmas in now here whether I am ready or not! I have to work till Friday and then I am off. I need to wrap presents, make my Baileys cheese cake tonight! That is what is on the adgenda - if we are not all too tired and cranky from being up late last night!. Hope you all have a great day.
M.
December 15 SNOWOK It snowed 1 1/2 feet last night!!! and it is still coming down. 1 hour of shoveling so far! Good for the exercise program! UGH Christmas is so much fun. Christopher asked me this morning when it would be summer again. :) Well I have to bring all the christmas presents in now that they are off to school.
M. Only 10 more shopping days!I managed to take a morning off today and braved the stores. I think I am almost done with the shopping. I am still waiting for Canadian Tire to call me to get Christopher's bow. ( They had them apparently they were in the warehouse under a mountain of boxes and couldn't get too them right then) but that should be it for the kids. I even got the stocking stuffers and their were not too many people at the stores so it wasn't that bad. I have to say I was very suprised by the prices I went to wal-mart first and zellers second and at zellers the 2 toys I was looking at were 20$ more. I couldn't believe it! I won't be driving back across town when they are priced higher! No wonder Wal-mart is so popular.
Our snow has almost completely melted and we have ice now on the roads, driveways, and sidewalks but we can see grass! Hard to believe when we had about 6 feet 2 weeks ago. It is suppose to start snowing again tonight but as long as it doesn't rain and freeze I guess we can't complain. Our winters sure aren't what they use to be we use to have snow all winter and cold weather all winter you could count on that.
Bill has decieded to stay in Ontario for Christmas! The kids were fairly upset and Christopher is still angry. We managed to get him some presents and the kids had fun wrapping them. I let them pick them out so he is getting Moose slippers, a pillow, Tronto Maple Leaf salt & pepper shakers and then we got him some hunting magazines & movies. I spent 2 nights scrapbooking him a calender of the kids. It turned out really well I hope he likes it. Now I just have to get my 2 mother in-laws calenders done and in the mail. I don't think they will make it for Christmas but better late than not at all.
Well I got dishes to do and bed is calling my name so have a great night everyone out in computer land and sweet dreams!
M. December 10 Stress!!!Well it warmed up here, a large part of the snow melted Yea! no shoveling, we just have to dig out our skates now as we all have ice rinks on our driveways. Yep winter is fun. Wednesday morning we got up to a dump of over 10 cm of wet snow ( it was raining by 9am) I was suppose to go to the gym but deceided to go for a run around the neighborhood instead. It was beautiful! just the right temperature. Hard sludging thru the snow as it hadn't been plowed and even trickier on the icey roads but I did about 5km with my dog and felt great! (till the next morning when I stiffened up). I am going to do the Y fun run on new years day again and wanted to test my outdoor legs and I guess I am ready! I think I need a tredmill for my house. I have tried everymorning this shift to get up at 5am and go out for a run but I just can't get motivated to leave the house and I don't really want to leave the kids alone. I know that if I had a treadmill I would run in the morning as getting up is not the problem. but they are so expensive!!! I think I will wait till I have paid my Sears bill off and then treat myself. My Christmas present, Birthday present rolled into one but I will not buy it till the rest is paid off. (Trying not to get too in debt!). Yea we'll see how that goes with Christmas coming. I love Christmas! I really do I just find everything so difficult these days it is hard to be positive. Bill is not coming for Christmas this year ( the kids dad). It makes me angry!! But what can I do he can't afford the plane ticket. I know he will be the loser in the end the kids will still have a great christmas and we will be together and he will be alone but it still bugs me that he can do this. I would sell my soul to be with my kids I don't understand it. I mean I am going to pick up a second job in January ( Selling Party Light Candles ) it won't be much but I hope it will be enough to pay some bills and I may take a boarder in next September to help as well yet He is off for the winter months and can't be bothered to pick up work. It is too easy to say there is nothing out there. That is a load of crap! Even if it delivering pizza there is work out there you just have to be motivated enough to do it. Of course I won't say this to him becasue then I am just the money hungry ex-wife! UHG!! Sorry I needed to vent! I can't say anything to the kids, I can't say anything to my family - When he does come they have to be civil to him, I can't say anything to his family becasue that is just not right so I'm stressing I know I shouldn't let it get to me but it is. I'm having chest pains again and I know it is stress. I'm tired and there is so much to do! Its funny my friends have been a great help but they can only do so much and I don't want to complain to them anymore or ask for help anymore. I guess I'm just tired it is the middle of my work shift and Saturday night! OK I'm probably lonely too. I have to clean the house tomorrow, try to get my christmas picture page done up to be copied to put with the letter to go out. I have 4 calenders to make up for Christmas presents ( 3 have to go to Ontario ) which involves scrapbooking pictures of the kids from the past year. I have pretty empty cupboards so I have to see if I have enough room on the credit card to buy groceries, and buy them tomorrow too. And we have to ring the bells for the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign becasue no matter how much I bitch and complain there are so many people out there worse off then us! And maybe I just have to remember that! Well I'm beat I hope you all have a good weekend
M. December 04 SnowI have to say I was very happy it warmed up. -30 is a little extream but..... at least it does not snow at -30. It has done nothing but snow this past week. We are probably up to about 4 feet so far and they are predicting snow every day. I have muscle that I didn't even know exsisted that are sore from shoveling. Thank God I only have a little drive way!!!! Our office had our Christmas party last night. I had a blast! I have not gone out in the past 2 years so I whooped it up but good. I'm a little slow today and at 6:30pm I'm ready for bed. I drank I danced and I don't think I made a fool of my self so it was a great time. My babysitter spent the night so I didn't have to worry about coming home so I managed to stay till the end and got home about 1:30am. Yep I had a good time. The kids and I did a shift manning the Salvation Army Kettles this morning. We will do a shift every Sunday till Christmas time now. It is our way of helping those in need. I usually donate a fair amount but this year I just don't have it to give so this is our way of helping. After about 20 minutes of standing there the kids got a little braver and we sang Christmas Carols. People seemed to like this and donations started coming in. It was nice. We went sleding this afternoon ( what else are you going to do in all this snow!) Well at least the kids did and I stayed at the top of the hill and watched. They sure have fun!. Rosy cheeks and big smiles say it all. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We also managed to get our house decorated this weekend so it is starting to feel like Christmas. The best time of the year. Hope you are all enjoying the season out there in computer land! Have a great week.
M. November 22 Flu ShotsWell we went for our flu shots today. Elizabeth only screamed a little :) much better than last year! Its funny everybody sure has their ideas about these shots. I work in a 12 dentist office and the amount of patients that are in and out of this place is huge. I will do anything that I think might help protect my kids. The reason I get the kids the shot is I read somewhere that if there ever is a epidemic of anykind the more years you have had this shot the better your chances are. If I can increase their chances a little any discomfort is OK by me. We are in the middle of a blizzard. Complete white out conditions!! I have already gone out and shovelled once as there was at least 4 inches of snow ( In about an hour and a half ) I didn't think I would be able to lift it if I left it till the morning. Thankfully I don't have too big of a driveway!!! Oh well I have been waiting for snow so the kids can go sleding. We are doing alright. I am going to start selling party light candles. I need to supplement my income in someway so I thought I would give this a try. We will see how it goes. Then I may move the boys upstairs and take in a boarder next september. We will see. Well the KD is boiling and the kids are hungry so I better go.
Hope you are all well out there in computer land
M. November 08 Kids say the darndest thingsWell I'm sick thanks to my kids! But then colds come and they go. I figure I'm just doing my time. Anyways I feel rotten - Looking for a little sympathy here!!!! We have had the funniest weather Snow/Rain/Snow/RAIN/LIGHTNING/THUNDER I don't ever remember having lightning and thunder when there is snow on the ground, and I'm sure that it is what is prolonging my cold. Speaking of lightning and thunder it reminds me of a day where Elizabeth and I were leaving the grocery store around 5pm a couple of years back I think she would have been 4. You could see the grey/black clouds rolling in so we ran to the car. Once we were in and buckled the downpour started. Now our parking lots in these shopping complexes are something to write home about. They are set up for Vancouver ( were everyone drives tiny cars ) not for big trucks (which is what you drive up here in the north ). Anyways trying to get out of the parking lot at any time is trying but at 5pm you really have to pay attention so you aren't taken out by one of thoes big bad trucks! So I'm concentrating on the traffic and it has started to hail. Elizabeth turns to me and shouts MOMMY IT'S ICECLING ITS ICECLING!!!! She was so excited. I actually kind of stopped for a moment are realized this was one of those special moments in time. I smiled and agreed that it was icecling. and we went on home. It is amazing how things are so simple for little ones. Anyways have a great night!
M. November 05 The Middle ChildChristopher Malcom Matthews - My beautiful, mischivious, devilish, wonderful middle child. Now for all you moms out there you know that once your children are born you would give your life for them without a second thought. But there are those kids, usaually the second one that will test you with each step they take. For me that is Christopher. Thats pobably why he has the longest eyelashes and the most wonderful smile. Anyways he is the one who if there is trouble will probably be right in the middle with a very wide grin on his face. So when the princpal called on Friday to inform me that my child was caught writing on the bathroom stalls I was not suprised in the least to find out it was Christopher. Now don't get me wrong I was HORRIFIED!!! I was a goody two shoes when I was young and would never, never have deface any part of the school. But Christopher well he goes to the beat of his own drum and this was his way of expressing his anger. He had an in school suspension and had to clean the playground the next day for his school punishment but is having a much harder time with what mom delt out at home. No computer or game cube or game boy for 1 whole week - Thats 7 days he informed me!!! No playing outside or with friends for the weekend - But it snowed mom!!!! And we still have to write our appoligies to the teaching staff and the janitor today. Life sucks when you are 8 and get caught breaking the rules (laws) I think he understands now just how much trouble he was in and promises never to get into that much trouble again. Now the reason as to why this happened, I think my smart little 8 yearold subcounciously wanted to get caught and get kicked out of school because that way I would have to transfer him out of the catholic school and into the public school that is 2 blocks away from our house. Sneaky thing!! I of course informed him that under no circumstances would I be switching him mid year no matter what he did. UHG!!!! Life with kids it is never dull!!
