It's official, my family is trying to see who can send me to the nuthouse first! The day started with my mom calling right before I got Bradley up, so when I talked to Greg I told him to call her back for me and tell her I was skipping the dentist today because I just didn't feel up to it, he says she sounded miffed when he called tho. A little history on why I had him call, my mom bless her heart does not know when to shut up once you get on the phone, the last time I called her while I was getting the kids ready for school we barely got there on time! and I don't want to be late getting them there unless there's a very good reason! and with the fog I really can't push it like that. When we got back from dropping them off Angela was in one of her lil moods, she absolutely refused to tell me what she wanted to eat, and refused everything I offered with a big fat, "NO! just nummies!" I finally got her to munch on some chips, and then she ate pizza with Greg when he got home.
When the kids got home from school before they even got in the door Chantaye told me Bradley was bleeding, half scared out of my wits I told him to hurry to the kitchen so I could see in the light, this is of course after he walked right past me like nothing was wrong. He had a tissue with quite a bit of blood on it and I asked him where it was comin from, he wouldn't look at me and mumbled his mouth, I made him open up and let me see, and his left front tooth is GONE!!! I could have croaked, I didn't know whether to cry or scream! I asked him what happened and he gave me the standard "I don't know", my foot he don't know! I spent about 10 minutes dragging it out of him, I swear pulling teeth on a gator would be easier, anyhow, he said it happened on the bus (no note from the driver) he said he stood up and banged into the window. Why were you standing up? eventually the answer was.."them boys had their hands up" yeah..and? "I had to make em put em down" were they bothering you? doing something to you? no! then why in tarnation did you have to do anything? "I didn't want their hands up"..arghhhhhhhhhhhhh! I've had to extend the grounding period, and he gets no special priveleges this weekend, he had been asking to go to my mom's or to the farm. What has happened to my sweet lil boy? Sneaking a crayon from the community stash since they don't have their own and making a total mess, and he knows better! he would never do that here, and now what I'm perceiving as trying to start a fight with "big boys".
Now on to Chantaye, all week she has had a smart mouth, trying to tell Bradley what to do, and then smarting off just out of the blue. When I told Bradley he was still on punishment she pipes up and asks "how do you like that", the entire week has been filled with comments like that, then on top of that she comes off with something along the lines of, guess maybe you will learn your lesson, along with several other comments. I swear she is acting like she's the mom and I'm the hired help or something. I am totally at my wits end with what to do with this child, I thought I had a few more years before her attitude got this bad, but it has started way too early. Pass the calgon and the sedatives! lol
Was your first car new or used?
used
What make and model was your first car?
the "first" was really mom's, it was an '84 olds cutlass, the first I could say was mine was a 1989 pontiac grand prix se
Name all the cars you have owned in your lifetime?
'89 grand prix se, ford tempo, chevy cavalier, the white ford truck, the blue 4x4, and now..the 2002 nissan king cab, 98 taurus, and 96 Ford f-150 extended cab (I don't share this one lol)
Which car was your favorite car?
I still miss the grand prix (sentimental reasons too), but I love my truck!
What would be your dream car?
hmm..well that's a big list lol I want a 57 Chevy 2 door hardtop, and a couple other classics, but I just gotta have an SUV! lol or a bigger truck ;)
Who cleans out the car, you or your husband?
sometimes I do, but usually Greg does it
Do you like to drive?
sometimes, if anyone other than Greg is driving then I definitely prefer to be the driver lol

Hi Aretha! I'm sorry, but I'm sitting over here cracking up! I know it's not funny, but "hearing" you tell it all just totally gives me the giggles. *Ü*
Let's see... Angela - she's little and is going to be like that sometimes... She'll eat when she gets hungry. Heck, Jackson eats BETTER if he's hungry! LOL
Bradley - wow, going to school has totally changed him, huh? One thing I learned about school is that my kid learned things that I'd rather not have him learn! Is there some way that you and his teacher can get together and make a rewards/punishment system for him? It needs to be one that's enforced in school AND at home. Blake is an angel at school... he saves all the "good stuff" for me. GRRR! LOL
'Taye - Sounds like she's got the kinda mouth you wanna smack as soon as those words come out, only you can't. So you solve that little problem with some major punishment. At my house, "How do you like that?" would have gotten her grounded too. LOL
Hang in there! Some days are worse than others. The asylum's looking better and better, isn't it? ROFLMBO!!! *Ü*
