Ahhhhhh ... it is finally time. My head is full of mumbojumbo again and I must unload. It has been so long it seems since I sat and did a thoughts blog !
1) So where is everyone hiding ? No one has been around much and I miss ya'll. Everytime I come to see who is around .... not very many have been here. :O(
2) Yes, I know - I haven't had all that much to say myself it seems.
3) But I do now ... it has been too long. :O)
4) Anywayzeeee ... everyone here has been sick. We all loaded up and went to the doc yesterday evening and we all have strep. Wonderful ... but we all got a prescription for pennicillin. Wonderful stuff I tell ya.. I can tell it is working already ! I feel loads better even just after two pills. The doctor insisted the kids stay home from school tho and gave them a note, but ya'll know I don't much mind.
5) Cameron had another reason to see the doc too, he complained all yesterday that the inside of his pee-pee was hurting, so we had the doc look at it and it had a little sore on the tip of it, so he gave some cream I have to apply 3 times a day... No infection tho .. I am glad, I thought he might have one.
6) Teacher conferences are this next week, but boy am I afraid I will go over there and blow up. I really had have about had it with a certain teacher that Brittany has been dealing with and WOW ... I soooo just want to tell her where to go. She keeps - oooh just ticking me off with things she keeps saying ... I get soo mad. Like one day Brittany was sharing how we think mens work should be doing things like mowing the yard and shoveling - etc. So this teacher, Mrs. R; goes off on Brittany about woman's rights and all kinds of things.
7) I have several opinions about this - one being that men SHOULD do this type of work and maybe if they wouldn't have stopped doing it, women wouldn't feel as if they HAD to do these things to begin with !!! .. Another is of course what it says in the bible about it. My smart mouth would really rather like to spew out reason number one first though ... LOL.
8) Anyway, ya'll know I am conservative and old fashioned ... but I do tend to have a bit of a mouth at times. I just don't like that ths lady tries to enforce her thoughts on Brittany. She has said so much this last few weeks - another instance was where she told Brittany that being 'just' a wife and mother were nonsence and to feel adequate she should go to college and get a "real" job. Now you know I had to about blow with that one ... But I think it may be possible that Brittany could have exaggerated it some. I do intend to find out the truth at conferences though ! Now sure I have no problem if a woman has to work, but I DO think family should be a priority. A woman should not pay for some one to raise thier children, they should do it, and the men should be the breadwinners for the family ... now of course you have the men out there that obviously can't BE men and do that, so they leave or whatever and give the women today no other choice - which is wrong, but what I am trying to say is that if you are married and want children - you should choose the career or the child. JUST MY OPINION.
9) Soooo, anywaddle, With all this goimg on .. I have went ahead and called the number for the homeschooling forms and they should be here any day now. I have to have reciept that the state has recieved them before I can "'legally" pull my kids out of school and that should take about 4 weeks from what hear .. so as soon as that all gets done we are homeschooling. I am pretty excited actually to go ahead and start this !!! I am hoping that with spring a new year and a new US will be starting.
10) Speaking of spring, it isn't much longer till the frst day. I will be so glad. It is 45 here today and I did hear some birdies chirping outside this morning. That was very nice. :O)
11) Tommorrow is payday, and Adam has to work all weekend. We have been wanting to take the kids to the childrens mueseum, but something always happens ... Grrrr. I am hoping to soon though. Good thing about this payday is that pretty much all of our bills are paid now because of the tax return, so this will go to the rest. It feels so good.
12) I was just thinking that today would be a good day to clean really good around here, but I swear that everytime I do and Lysol everything we all get sick again. Adam thinks it is this house making us sick. So on a warm day I will open the windows and get these carpets cleaned .. they are so gross. I bet that will help alot ! I love spring cleaning , it feels good to get everything good and deep down cleaned too !
13) Welp, I better get on with my day. I think I might just hop in the shower since the kids are home and can keep an eye on Grace for a few minutes.
Hope ya'll have a good day today ! HUGS !!!

Hey-do you have Sheri Hamer as a friend on here? If you don't you should look her up. She home schools and might be a good resource for you. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHey girly!
ReplyDeleteOOOh yes, Sheri has been a friend of mine a long time now. :O)
ReplyDeleteHey Christi ! How's it going ?
ReplyDeleteBrittany was sharing how we think mens work should be doing things like mowing the yard and shoveling - etc. So this teacher, Mrs. R; goes off on Brittany about woman's rights and all kinds of things.
ReplyDeleteI had a teacher like this. She was horrible. And I DID go off. And she never 'got it'. After several run in's with her and several visits to the Principals office where she was required to issue me a formal apology, she never did.
Glad everyone there is starting to feel better.
ReplyDeleteHope the teacher conferences go well for you. I'm glad you are going to start homeschooling before the school year ends. I can't believe you have to wait 4 weeks after you send in the homeschooling forms.
I can't wait for spring either. Have a great day!
Strep made it's way thru our house too!!! Hope you all get better fast!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the schools, lately all I think they care about is $$$. But I guess since our state has cut it so much, any little bit is better than none!!!
Well you know why i havent been around. I have missed your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSorry you ALL have strep. Goodness that has to be draining on everyone. It feels like I have been dealing with sinus stuff for the whole month of Feb. No fun. You know if the house has mold or something inside the walls that you cannot see, the house surely could make you sick.
Good luck talking with the teachers. Just stay calm and say what you need to say.
I figured it might be strep....at least that is something you can take medicine for! Whoot!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the conference. I'll keep you in my prayers tomorrow, that you stay calm and let God speak through you...... you aren't going to change this lady's mind, but your attitude can certainly make her think twice. Remember, if you 'go off'...it'll only fuel her conviction that what she says is true! :)~
I kinda did some Spring cleaning yesterday, um, sort of. Ahhaha!!! I call it that, cuz I had some windows open, because Germany gave us a sunny day, which we rarely get to see here, summer or winter. :-D
ReplyDeleteI've had a cold for 2 weeks and it's some sort of "strong strain of cold" or sumpdin. Man oh man. It just would not let go of us. Hubby has been sick too and he never gets sick!!!! We are "almost" over it....almost....... still blowing our noses. Whew.
Hope your meeting with the teachers goes well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D
I think that Teacher needs to keep her opinions to her self!!!!!!!!! Glad you're feeling a bit better. It's suppossed to be pretty warm here this weekend...like 75. When is the 1st day of Spring anyways?? I don't see it on my Calendar. We might get out and work in the yard some this weekend..weed out my flowerbeds. You're right...a good Spring Cleaning will be nice after everyone gets over being sick. Well..have a good weekend girl. Racing at Atlanta this Sunday...hope Gordon can hold on to that Points Lead! Ya'll take care and get to feeling better! Hugs, Tammy
ReplyDeleteEvery situation is different. My kid is my number one priority, but I have no choice but to work. Just because I work doesn't mean that she isn't a top priority. The people I "pay to raise my kid" (which isn't what I pay them for at all) enrich her life in different ways than I do. You certainly are entitled to your opinion, but the way the world is right now, one parent providers are few and far between. Where I live, most of the "male" type jobs are doing major layoffs, and if women weren't working families would have nothing at all. Just felt the need to put in my 2 cents worth....because that's what I do.
ReplyDeleteI think that has a lot to do with where everyone has been, sickness... family... work and just life!! I tell you there is just not enough hours in each day! I know I am wiped out by the time 8pm gets here anymore lately!! Christopher just got over his strep and looks like I dodged that bullet and just wound up with the flu.
ReplyDeleteI would smack that teacher down PFFT I tell you the schools and their teachers sometimes get TOO involved, they
need to know when to back down.
#9- That doesn't sound right. It shouldn't take 4 weeks. We get ours back within one week of filing our form.
ReplyDeleteSorry you all have strep. Hope everyone gets better quickly!
Ugh on everyone getting strep! I remember when all the kids had strep at the same time that sure wasn't fun. I can't imagine the whole family getting it at the same time! I hope you all are feeling better soon. That doesn't seem right that it would take 4 weeks to get the forms back, I don't really know anything about the form since Michigan really has no rules to reporting and I never put the kids in school in the first place. Oh I really really want to smack that teacher! I can't believe you didnt!!! OH we had some nice days and now it's going to get cold and more snow they say! HELP!!!! I am so done with snow! Hugs to you my friend!!
