Time moving on

Kim — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:41:25 +0000

There is less than two weeks left before my children are back in school. To say this is an event that makes me seriously happy, is a major understatement. This has been a very long summer and I can’t wait until it’s over. My son is going into grade 5 and my daughter is going into 7. I have most of their school supplies and clothes bought but still need to pick up a few items. I’m really hoping the next two weeks goes by fast. Then I will have my summer vacation. lol

Grading presents

Kim — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 13:14:04 +0000

Well I’m happy to report that both of kids passed their school year. My daughter will be going into grade 7 and my son will be headed off to grade 5. So we needed to purchase a couple of grading presents. This time of year is always pretty expensive for us, so I decided to use a couple of the coupons that I had saved to try to save some money. So they both got a present for a job well done. Next purchases will be birthday presents and then it’s time once again to get them ready for school. So you can just bet that I will be clipping more coupons over the summer.

Time is slipping by

Kim — Wed, 26 May 2010 14:06:13 +0000

I can’t believe that there is only three weeks of school left for this year. Both the kids had an amazing year and my daughter actually made the honor roll! I couldn’t be any prouder of both of them than I am right now. So… now it’s time to find some grading presents. I have been looking at some personalized basketballs and although I think this would be an awesome gift for my son, I don’t think it would impress my daughter that much. But thankfully I still have three weeks to come up with these presents. Hopefully I’ll find something pretty special for both of them.

Middle school health class

Kim — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:25:22 +0000

My daughter came home with a permission slip from her school yesterday regarding a delicate matter. She is required to take a health class at her school and she really doesn’t want to. Oh she really doesn’t mind looking up lipofuze reviews and stuff like that, but when it comes to talking about the human body, she gets a little squeamish. But I signed the form so she will be taking this class. I’m sure the teacher’s will make it as tasteful as they can and hopefully in the end she learns something and isn’t quite so embarrassed about sitting in this class.

I think the bullying has finally stopped

Kim — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:43:42 +0000

After seven months in the school system, I think the bullying that was targeted towards my daughter has finally stopped. Every day I question her about her day and lately she has had no complaints. So I really think my latest trip into the school may have helped. I really hope she can get through the next couple of months with no more incidents. But… if it does happen to start up once again, you can just bet that I’ll be camping out in the Principal’s office once again.

Bullying in middle school

Kim — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:26:29 +0000

So once again I had to head down to my daughter’s middle school and have a talk to her vice principal about the fact that my child is STILL getting bullied. This child has been being bullied by one other girl since she started middle school and I’m done with it. In October I took a trip to the school and talked to the vice principal about it. Honestly I had thought it had stopped. Well it hadn’t. Now this girl has other kids bullying my daughter as well. This school has a zero tolerance policy for bullying in their schools and I am just the mother to make sure this policy gets enforced.

And the reason why my daughter is getting bullied?? It’s because she is best friends with another kid that this bully doesn’t like. I wouldn’t care if my daughter was big and needed a quick weight loss program or if she had lots of pimples, there is no excuse in this world for bullying. So now that I’ve said my peace, we will see what happens. This needs to stop! And it needs to stop now!

Weekend plans

Kim — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:40:57 +0000

My two kids are in for a major surprise this weekend. They are both going to be spending a lot of time in their rooms cleaning them. They have tons and tons of old and broken toys that they both need to go through and I’m also going to get them to go through their dressers. I’m seriously getting tired of having to do all the housework myself and have decided that these two are going to have to start helping me out a little bit. Maybe if I keep them busy all weekend cleaning their rooms, they won’t have quite so much time on their hands to fight. So it’s a win… win situation for me.

March break

Kim — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:05:21 +0000

So both kids are now home on March break. And if this past weekend was any indication of what I’m going to be in for this upcoming week, then I honestly want no part of it. The kids spent the entire weekend fighting and they still have seven weeks on their break. This is why I absolutely hate it when they have any amount of time off from school. You would think, that they would just be happy to have a little break from school and spend this time playing and relaxing. But nope, it’s much more fun for them to fight and drive me nuts. I’ll be sure to let you all know how my week is going later on in the week. But, I don’t think I’m going to be posting that this has been a great week.

Change of plans

Kim — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:01:40 +0000

I thought I finally had my son better and back in school. Yesterday I sent him back to school after being home sick for a week and I thought he was okay. Well, he woke up this morning with a stomach ache and a fever so of course once again I had to keep him home. Well this seriously messed up my plans for the day. I had planned to go out later on today and take advantage of the clearance sale that is going on at our local mall. Well that isn’t going to happen today. I just can’t take the chance of taking this kid out and into a store right now. Hopefully he’s better by tomorrow and can go back to school. This way, I’ll still be able to take advantage of the sale.

No school

Kim — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:05:02 +0000

I really despise Mondays. And to make it even worse this Monday, both the kids are home from school today due to weather issues. So not only do I have tons and tons of work to get done today, but I have to get it all done while fighting with two little kids. I think I’m going to have to put off finding a cheaper life insurance rate for my husband and myself. It’s just not that much fun trying to get this serious stuff done while I am fighting with the children. It’s only 11:00 am in the morning and the kids really have me exhausted. So everything that can be put off for today will be and it will all get finished tomorrow. Fingers crossed that their back in school tomorrow.
