Has anyone seen my sanity? lol This has definitely been one week I should've crawled under the bed and stayed there! I stayed up last night to catch the season premieres, then I tried to draw, needless to say it ended up being a total waste of time and effort! I did manage to cut my hair last night while all the kids were asleep, I can't believe how much I ended up having to cut, guess it had been longer than I realized, but at least I don't look like a sheepdog now lol
This morning started off like they all did this week, cruddy attitudes all around! Chantaye didn't want to brush her hair, and wasn't real fond of me doing it, Bradley didn't want his teeth brushed, guess he figured it was pointless since one was gone lol I *finally* got them all in the truck, so here we go, the drive wasn't quite as bad as it had been this week on the way in until I got to the school, then some air-head felt obligated to tail-gate me, I'm thinking maybe she thought I needed a new bumper lol, and don't you know not a single child got out of her car! We're back on the side road to my house now, and here comes this lil red car with some young dingbat (guy) driving in my lane, apparently his tiny car needed 2 lanes where my truck only needed a field? lol I was real nice about it..NOT rofl I didn't scoot over at all, I held my half with him, I guess he figured size-wise I'd win that battle, but I got a "drop dead" look for my trouble, well this amused me so I just waved like I'd known him my whole life rofl! how mean am i ;) We get back home and Angela tells me right off she wants "the ereal & the jui juice", after she ate the cereal then she wanted some chips so here I go to fetch em, my butt had barely hit the seat til she went into some sort of tantrum and flung the whole bowl all over the living room, I felt like pulling my hair out, but i cleaned it up and tried again, and she refused to eat *sigh*
The kids came home from school and I was checking backpacks, I told Bradley to bring his nap towel home so I could wash it this weekend, it hasn't been brought home since school started!, no towel in the backpack, he says his idiotic teacher told him "you can't take it home, it has to be at school at all times", call me crazy..but who is gonna use it on the weekends? lol I opened 'Taye's folder and there was 2 more "sign & return!!" sheets with F's!!!! I looked them over to see why they deserved an F, well on one of them there were 4 questions per side and she only got 2 wrong, and skipped one, now how is she doing the math to come up with a 64? then there's the spelling test..I am not signing this one, I am attaching a note to it that I did see it, and I want an explanation as to why these words were wrong because they are spelled correctly! circle & cover are wrong, and then she has either marked break or hit as wrong, and lose or his, the way they are on the page you cant tell, she didn't x them on the word, she x'd between the words. I'm the first to admit I'm not the brightest bulb in the sign, and I didn't go to college, but any idiot could tell these are spelled right! I think this hag is just planning to fail 'Taye because she can. She had added a lil note on the weekly sign sheet that 'Taye needs to work on listening and paying attention and studying the word list, we do study the word list and she can spell each word before her tests on Friday! I told Greg I am seriously thinking about replying and telling her she needs to learn to spell and read lol I'm thinking about asking for her to be transferred to another teacher, and see if things get any better that way.
I'm sorry I've ranted and raved all week! Please forgive me ladies!!! This has just been one of those weeks where everything has went wrong.

Aretha, I would request a meeting with that teacher now. She may have single out Taye, and you need to get to the bottom of it right away. If you get any bad feelings about her, I would request a different teacher!

OH my, what a week you've had. If your daughter is having that much trouble with ONE teacher, I would consider moving her out of there. One bad year can affect a child's whole school experience. I hope things start to calm down for you. Try and have a great weekend :)
