it is also in the blogroll and what I will do is follow the ones I follow here, but over there…

and today mr. man got another red… I thought we were done with this dilemma but noooooooooooooooooooooooooo… supposedly today he was screaming and calling to other kids and got put on time out… it just seems so unreal to me though, like they are talking about someone else’s child!

so today he has no video games, no toys, no tv… what else can I do?

no, for real… any advice?

Well, let me backtrack and explain a bit.  My baby boy – he is 6 yrs old, don’t tell him I call him my baby, lol – is in Kindergarten this year.  His 1st year in school.  Da Big School!  … and they have a ‘grading’ system for how they do during the day… kinda like the traffic light… green is good, yellow is so-so and red is BAD!

So ever since school started, he has been getting greens and yellows… more greens than yellows so I wasn’t really worried.   After all, I mean, he IS a kid, not a machine.  He IS 6 yrs old, not 15… and this IS his 1st experience with the school system.

At one point, when I found out that he was sitting by himself, the colors didn’t mean crap to me because I felt that he was just pushed aside ’cause she didn’t want to deal with him.  Later on she explained that it is a technique they have in school for the kids that get distracted easily so they can concentrate better and finish their work.  Fine then.

My main worry is that he is held back a grade because, let’s be real, I wasn’t held back, his daddy wasn’t held back… that is just something that doesn’t happen, can’t happen in my book!  I wasn’t the best student but dang, I was never held back.  Anyway, teacher said that won’t be a reason for him to be held back… cool then!

Fast forward to today… I am at work… crazy as heck kinda day — not surprised to find out that tomorrow there is a full moon, ppl act loco in da coco around the full moon time! — and I check my cell phone and I have a missed call from the teacher… and NO message… my heart just SANK!

I panicked and started calling her back until someone patched me through and she is like… well he has been talking non stop! … and I am like… whoa, you mean he IS ok? – ’cause by then I am thinking SOMETHING MAJOR MUST have happened! — and she goes, oh yeah he is fine… I just have to talk to you about his talking… **picture moi just staring @ the cell perplexed** … and she ends the conversation by saying that he got a red today.

So excuse me if I am wrong but I think that hey, if he didn’t get his red until late April, that’s good in my book!  lol  I feel that now he feels really comfortable in school and hey, he is probably bored so he has to keep himself busy.  Of course I will talk to him.  Don’t get me wrong, he will get reprimanded.  But since today his dad picked him up, I am sure that he will address it before me and I don’t see the need in him getting reprimanded twice.

Right now, am just waiting for my baby with open arms … am sure he got an earful from his dad already, he will just need mommy’s love when he gets home tonight. 

afterwards I went to do compra (=grocery shopping) and when I got home after 4pm or so, I decided to move some furniture around in my room … now that furniture is heavy and I didn’t know if I was going to be able to move it … but I did! … I used those gliders, is like an upside down frisbee and yeah, that made it easier but they really didn’t glide that well due to how heavy it was

I moved the bed also and whoa!  after having that bed in the same place for 8 yrs it felt weird, but I like how it looks now … I was even able to use this chair that I have in the room for like, sitting!  (it is usually staked with either clothes I just took off or clothes that need to be fold and put away) … I really like that now I can sit in that chair and watch tv, instead of watching it from the bed … I also put a small table next to it so now I can read in that chair too, I am really pleased   of course it will look much better once I get curtains for the windows, which hopefully I will get that done today

Sometimes you just have to move stuff around, like puzzles pieces, to see what fits best … now if I can only do that with the relationships in my life!

one step at a time…

I had probably at least 10 journals when one day about 10 yrs ago it hit me… when I die (no if, everyone dies), someone is going to find them and read them!  the horror!

so I threw them away… yes, in the trash!  I got paranoid, I panicked and off to the trash they went… and ever since then I could say I lost my muse… it is so hard for me to write down my feelings, etc now.

that is one of the reasons why I opened this site, of course I had no idea work would get so busy that I would hardly have time to keep up… but I figured I have to make the time… so here I am

I welcome myself back!  lol

I guess I looked worst than how I felt ’cause the big boss sent me home … so I have been here since 4pm, trying to rest, can only breath thru my mouth… drinking lots of fluids and other OTC stuff to see if this stops but it looks like it’s winning… even my teeth hurt… maybe is the flu…  boss told me I could take the day off tomorrow if I needed to… Lord knows I just want to sleep…

laters…
