First full week of School...

It's been a busy week. Getting up at 6 a.m. and not going to bed till after 10 is getting old already.

I have been getting up and fixing Sara and Alyssa lunch every morning. I was writing little notes in Alyssa's lunch telling her to have a good and love you (she had told me not to do it again (she comes home 30 mins before Sara)

...and did the same in Sara's lunch on Wednesday for the first time.

When she came home that afternoon, she gave me the note all crumbled up and said "Mom, don't put letters in my lunch box no more!" We laughed and I said Ok, I won't.

Well, later on that evening we went to a gym near here to check out a gymnastic class Sara will be attending. She got mad because we were just observeing the class and she couldn't actually do the class. She got was upset and started haveing a melt down. I picked her up and we left early becasue of this. She was really mad now. When we got in the car and started mouthing about having to go and not being able to see what she was going to doing.

She mouthed all the way home saying she was going to grow up and move out and not come back to see us, and make her own rules and do what she wanted to do and not write letter in her child's lunch. I just let her go, NOT saying a word. When we got home, I told her to go to her room, she was punished. She said "WHY?" I told her she couldn't talk to me like that. She stormed upstairs. It was a evening, and she is only 4. Oh, I can't wait for the teenage years.

Also, Wednesday Alyssa came home from school saying her gifted paper work was incomplete and that they are going to move her to a regular classes. So, Thursday morning I got up and went to school to find out. After many hours of talking and figureing all this out. Basicly, it is because Alyssa was tested in Louisiana not in Alabama

and can't just transfer into their gifted classes. So, after 6 weeks of being in another class they will process her with her scores from La and do the behavoir evals from here. Not really fair, but I guess I can understand.

Then tonight Alyssa wants to go to the movies with her friends...go meet them there and I'll pick her up. Kory being the person he is says no, I said, ok. We have to come to some kind of agreement here. It's only just begun!
