Today is Bradley's first day at school, I've literally worried myself sick about him today, I'm so afraid he will get made fun of for his leg & his diapers! I so hope I'm worrying for nothing!! When I put his backpack on him this morning he almost fell over backwards lol course all 3 kids thought this was the funniest thing that could've happened lol poor ol 'Taye was looking like she was gonna beat him senseless when I dropped them off cause he was standing on the sidewalk trying to make her carry his backpack with hers! 'Taye is gonna have to go and pay for his lunch for him too cause his teacher won't accept any money for anything unless it's snacks or field trips! The list of supplies they sent home for him to bring is positively idiotic! they want 2 boxes of crayons, 2 boxes of baby wipes, 12 pencils, 2 bottles of glue (no stick!), the list keeps on going..plus a spare pair of shoes with white or clear bottoms! now what has me peeved..they money you to death all year long, but somebody tell me WHY I should have to provide for every child in that class instead of my own! They don't ask for that for 'Taye she takes pencils as she needs them, and she ain't used 12 in one year yet! Oh and get this...she brought home a sheet yesterday that says if her work isn't finished in class she will not be allowed to bring it home to finish, she will automatically get detention that day until 4! I guess they figure if our kid don't get off the bus we have to assume they haven't been injured or are missing and will show up to pick them up..this just ain't right to me! I swear I wish we could've moved before school started and got them in a decent "normal" school system!
Sorry for rambling and ranting, I'm just so tired of this county I can't see straight, you'd think I was a "move-in" instead of having lived here all my life lol
On the upside, yesterday was the birthdays, Greg got all his stuff today, we got him a new dig-cam (it's more for me than him rofl) and one of those new all in one machines with copy,fax,scan,print..it is huge, but it's cool! we had to play with it as soon as he got it hooked up lol We still have to go shopping for 'Taye's stuff tho, everytime we've asked what she wants she says nothing, or I don't care, she gets that from Greg lol We are gonna try to take her to the fair tonight or tomorrow night tho, to make up for having to be in school on her birthday. I'm sure Greg will want to eat "out", so we'll probably go to Cancun..ya know it would be so much better if birthdays could fall on weekends instead of mid-week lol

Hi Aretha :) I hope the kids first day at school went well. I hate all the stuff they expect you to buy because you know they don't use half of it.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!!
