I just need a few minutes to vent some thoughts.
First of all, after three days of trying to get a hold of this travel agent lady to figure out if our flight is paid for or not for our Cancun trip that we won, she finally decides to call me back today. Um yeah, the flight is not paid for. What in the samhill is the point in giving someone a free trip to Mexico if you don't pay for the airfare? I'm irritated, I can't even afford to buy a stick of gum right now, nonetheless pay for two round trip tickets to Cancun so that I might redeem my "free" trip. GRRRR!!!
And on another note, I've been thrown into such a depression since JoDee left. I mean yeah, she's my sister and I miss her, but this is ridiculous, have to get on with life. I think I just spent so much time anticipating this visit and then it was here and over so quickly that I'm a little shocked that it ever happened. Was I there? I'm sure I was, but it's blurry.
Then Collin is having trouble in school. I have had his teacher pull me aside twice this week to talk to me about his behavior, and he only attends four days a week, so he has managed to be disruptive enough half of this week for me to clearly hear about it.
I guess he's having trouble listening which isn't shocking, we struggle with the same things at home, and he interrupts and shouts out whatever comes into his head at any moment during the day, well yeah we have the same trouble with that as well at home. Then at lunchtime I guess he was being very unmannerly and kept blowing bubbles in his milk and things like that, we don't have a problem like that at home. I'm just wondering what to do with him?? How do I discipline him without breaking his little spirit. The yelling out loud and over exuberance is a part of his personality, he has a lot of it, and I somehow have to teach him how to temper that excitement while at school, and at home wouldn't be too bad either. Help! I'm just afraid in a year or so some teacher is going to try to get him diagnosed as ADHD or something like that. He's just a wild boy with a lot of personality, isn't that how most boys are?
So anyway, hopefully tomorrow is better and I'm a little happier about life.

It's your blog -vent all you want!
So does the "free" trip mean hotel only? What a pain. All I can say is -Thank goodness it's Friday-
(no school, no 3rd grade homework for 3 nights!) happy day -ciao
Sorry, I had to leave. I wish you lived closer so we could hang out every day. You would be so tired of me and my children. Just start counting the days until Mandi comes. I don't know what to tell you about Collin, obviously I am going to have some problems with Crew also. Have you ever before heard of someone quiting home daycare after spending two and a half hours with your child? I got in the car and cried. Cheer up, and don't worry, I will send you a couple of packs of gum.
I'm so sorry about Collin. I don't know what to tell you but I'm sure you will figure it out. You are one of the best Moms I know, so don't doubt or forget that!
It's tough to be far away from everyone! You do look so forward to the visits, that I think there's a natural let down when they're over. It helps to have another to look forward to.
That just stinks about the trip. If you could afford to fly to Cancun, then you wouldn't need their "free trip". What a mean trick!
I think little boys are supposed to be exuberant and energetic. I also think there's just an adjustment time when they start school until they figure out what's appropriate for where. He'll get it! And, you're a wonderful mom who is aware of who he is as an individual -- and that will help so much. Hang in there!
Meg, he is only in Kindergarten he will get it figured out probably a little slower than the girls.. HE will be fine but do talk with him about listening and NOT blurting out in class he will learn self control have a FHE at home about listening and obedience we all follow rules.... Collin is Collin.........Gotta love him!
