First of all...its FRIDAY again...yay! I dunno why I love this day so much, I get out of bed easier, I'm in a better mood, I smile more, talk more...oh wait, I also get paid on this day. That may have something to do with it.
And then a phone call from the girl child comes in, just now, yes. Had my day all planned out, perfectly. But, it would seem that the first HOME football game has just been made an away game. Grrrr! Revamp the "Plan for Today". Instead of showing up by 7, she now has to be there at 4:30. Okay, this is all part of the motherhood contract..."You shall give up your life for the next 18 years and longer if deemed necessary. You shall make no plans that cannnot be altered or cancelled altogether at the last minute. Literally, the last minute." FYI: Social life and Motherhood do not work well together!!!! While you're at it, go ahead and fold your identity into your mom role. If at the end of raising all you have brought forth, there's a shred of "you" left....well, peachy! If not? Eh.
Another nifty surprise for today: Walked in the school to pick up Matthew early and was informed that I should make a stop by the superintendent's office on my way out. "Why?", I ask. Various replies shot up from all over the classroom. Apparently, EVERYONE in 7th and 8th grade knew why. I gathered enough info from the chorus of voices to know that this kid of mine was gonna wish he'd wasn't leaving early today. The Super is also the history teacher that Matt's always raving about, he LOVES this class. I was a little surprised to learn there was an "issue". But that's just it, he's a nice guy and lets these boys get away with pretty much anything. Matt mentality: "Steamroll him and push him as far as ya can." Of course! I was amazed at the grace this guy is extending to my son...he gave him an "Incomplete" instead of the C he deserves because a five minute assignment was 2 1/2 weeks late and is STILL not turned in! (Where was this teacher my junior year??) AND, he kept informing me what a "good boy" my kid was. Good meaning......???? I was not a happy camper, no siree. I'm still debating what the consequences of this should be. I mean, the guy sat there and told me that Matt has the potential to be valedictorian but he just won't apply himself. LAZINESS, a lack of follow through, that's what it is and it's drivin me nuts. We deal with this in all areas with Matt. HOW do you make someone give a dang? Arrrrgh!!
Geeze...all I was gonna do was get on here and blog about the crows I saw this morning. Really. :) Another day, I reckon, since it's about time for me and my little car to sprout our "Super-Overscheduled Mom" wings and fly to Kinta. "To infinity and beyond...and back again." LOL! Okay, that just prompted some scheming. I am definately gonna find me a superhero costume complete with cape, knee high boots, and some sort of glittery eye mask thing to show up to the next few school events in. I'll zoom around with my arms straight out in front of me instead of walking and puff out my chest alot. If the teenagers in my life won't willingly acknowledge and appreciate the hoops I jump thru for them...I'll embarass them mercilessly!
