I'm back!!!!
I
think my grounding is finally over...grrr...one more reason to be more
computer literate than I am. GROUNDING. Hunh...how old am
I?! He didn't actually say I was grounded, but somehow,
mysteriously after our fight (money matters, of course), the computer
stops working...can't go anywhere from the boot up page. He said
he couldn't fix it in a short time, but go figure, today we're being
civil again and amazingly enough the computer started working
again! Must be magic.
Wow...so haven't posted since Sat. or Sun. right? Good Lord...now
I have to try to remember all those days...great. I can barely
remember the last 5 minutes. Though I did eat a cookie about 2
minutes ago...ah...the highlights of my days. Nah, Monday
met with my friend from HS. She looks pretty much the same, few
pounds heavier (aren't we all?), but pretty much same ol'
friend. Very quiet, still...me still VERY talkative...though I
did get her to laugh a few times...she was always so shy, and I think
just afraid to talk so much...don't worry, I totally made up for
that! And, I did apologize to her. Of course, I put it in a
way that focused more on something that (didn't) happened to my
daughter, and I told her it got me to thinking about HS crapola,
and how I didn't want her to feel the way my daughter (didn't)
feel. Hope we keep up with each other better...she promised
to contact me when she comes through here. We'll see.Speaking of daughter....little boys are twits. I don't mean ALL
little boys...just the ones who bully my daughter. It may just be
a matter of he likes her...who knows? Here's from the get
go. A few weeks ago, Jess comes home crying that some boy kept
calling her "big head" (her head is just fine, by the way), that he'd
been doing that for awhile....but that day he tripped her in the
hall. Now, I realize that kids are gonna call each other names,
unfortunately it's kid nature, but when it gets physical mama bear
steps up. So I call the school, they say she has to put his name
in the "bully box". The next day, however, this boy
is as sweet as pie...helping her with her locker, pal-ing around,
etc...so she didn't stick his name in...YESTERDAY she comes home upset
again, he's calling her "big-head" from across the cafeteria, comes up
behind her and gets right in her ear and yells "is anyone home?".
SO, I told her today to put his name back in the bully box, and if no
teacher takes care of this problem to fight back. Normally, I'm
quite the pacifist, but this boys just pure twit. I gave her some
words to use if he yells big head across the cafeteria again...some of
you may not approve, it's not exactly nice. I told her to yell
back (it must be said loudly so that other kids pick up on it) "So, are
you just trying to compensate for something itty bitty YOU have?"
NOW-I hear some of you gasping, get your minds out of the gutter.
It could also mean his brain. But anyone of those kids can
feel free to take it the other way. His response probably
something like "how would you know?" Slip in the classic "your
mama told me". Yes, all quite juvenile, but you gotta
understand my daughter. She's the sweetest girl. She
doesn't like to hurt anyone's feelings, ever, is always the peace
maker, and wants everyone to get along, always. That's all good,
but if she's not careful, she's gonna be the school doormat. So
far she's every girls friend, and some boys, but this twit boy has it
in for her. Gotta him 'em back with sarcastic humor, let him know
she CAN fight back. Also, if he gets behind her and yells in her
ear like that again, to twist around really fast (acting surprised mind
you, so she can pull the innocent card) and elbow him a good one.
"Oh, teacher, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that he scared
me so, I just jumped...I didn't mean to hurt him...oops."
Probably all wrong, but I'm not a perfect mom, just one who wants this
kid to lay off her daughter.Got preschool pics back...AWWWW....they turned out so well! In
the one, he looks like this cute little boy, and the other one, I don't
know how they got it, but they pulled the devil right out...so
adorable....and the brown overalls were totally perfect for it!
Gonna have to somehow get it on here!!!!May I just say TiVo is the best invention made by man? Screw sliced
bread...it doesn't record Survivor for me while I'm putting kids to bed!This is what happens when I don't get to post for a few days....longest post in the world. Sorry!
Here's ya'lls joke for the day!
What goes "gobble, gobble, ha-ha-ha, plop"?
A. A turkey laughing its head off

you have to do what you have to do. even if she does exactly what the teachers want her to do there is still a chance nothing will be done. my best friend went through the same thing with her oldest. kids always beat him up. when the principal wouldnt do anything mama stepped in and told him to start fighting back. well even after he started trying to fight back it got worse. school still did nothing just cause one of the bullys dad donated $$ to the school. well she finally just pulled her kid out cause they wouldnt do anything. then she one uped them and told them she was pulling all 3 kids out and that she would be going all the way up to the top. last i heard she was going to the head of the school board and the gov. of the town. so good luck. and i hope that bully gets what he deserves.
p.s. good advice mom!!
Is your hubby really vindictive that way? Because if he plays that way, then I think we could come up with some highly creative coincidences too!
What you told your daughter to do is exactly what the schools here teach the kids - how to react to bullies. They would rather you do that than involve them. Nice, huh? Good luck to her, but really watch that physical stuff.
That turkey is such a babe!
Nice turkey.
Sorry about the grounding.
No, We are not allowed to put him in the school he should have been in at the begining of the year because where we live, They ( school changed the school boarders), & he ended up going to this school. Besides, they now want me to agree in putting him in their other school( Tawanka). This is a school consisting in student that are eithier have mental problems or they are students considered troublemakers that they don't want in their precious Blue ribbon school.
I said to the school that they should also punish others that have a pick on my kid. I refuse to put him in that other school.
Did you just write that you put your kids down to bed during Survivor? I'm so jealous! My son is still running around the house like a wild maniac at 9p. It almost takes till 10p to get him to sleep. I'm glad I read your post on bullies. I know my son is only 2, but I fear sending my children to school. It breaks my heart when kids act hateful toward my children. I know it is going to happen, but I need to teach my kids how to bounce back from it. Right now my son lets other kids walk all over him. If he has a toy that they want, they will just rip it out of his hands. He just stands there and then seeks out a new toy. Heart crushing!
Failed to mention that I like your warning about the dancin' turkeys at the top of the page - Ha!
Hi! Been awhile since i dropped by. Nice page. Well do have a lovely weekend, you and your family. Talk to you soon.

See... this is why hubby and I each have our own lap tops. But then.... I am losing money if I am not connected.
And I couldn't imagine have to share.. and wait for him to be done looking on eBay for cars and stuff. .. he has dreams of a Grand National. Ummm... that is Disney World Vacation / Cruise money..
Have a great weekend!
