Well less than three weeks and these children will be back in school. And I for one can’t wait!!! But before they head back to school I have to head to the stores to finish up their back to school shopping. And although the stores won’t be quite a busy then if there was a Black Friday sale, they are still quite busy and I hate crowds. But if going into the store and purchasing items for them to go back to school is what I need to do then I will do it. I just hate the thoughts of shopping with a crap load of people doing the same thing.

Well yesterday was the start of the children’s summer vacation. And if yesterday was any indication of what I have to look forward to this summer, boy…. am I in trouble. The kids spent most of their day fighting yesterday. So bad actually I hate to set aside some orogold articles that I was writing because I just couldn’t concentrate. I’m really hoping all of this fighting ends soon otherwise it’s going to end up being a very long summer for the children and myself.

Well I have two ceremonies to attend to tomorrow and they are both within an hour of one another. At 10:00 I have to be at my daughter’s middle school to watch her get an award and then have to leave there and head down to my son’s elementary school to watch his graduation from grade 5. I don’t know how I’m going to pull this off, but both kids want me in attendance. So I’m going to try my best to attend both. I’ll have to remember to charge up the canon digital cameras so I can capture both events for my husband. Hopefully I can make both events and both kids will be happy.

Well this is the final week of school for the children before they are let out for summer vacation. So what does that mean for me?? That means I will have two children underfoot for the next couple of months and get to listen to quite a bit of fighting. So I think this is going to mean that doing articles on dual diagnosis treatment which require a lot of research and concentration will be out of the question. Oh well, the kids did amazing again this year and certainly do deserve this break. I just hope I can live through it.

Well March break has ended and the children are both back in school! Can you tell how happy this makes me??? Last week was such a long week with both the kids home and there were times when I seriously had to wonder if I would make it through an entire week. They spent most of their week fighting and it just about drove me nuts. But at 7:30 am this morning they both walked out of the house and down the hill to catch their buses. So right now I am sitting here (yes, typing) drinking coffee and just enjoying the quiet. It won’t last long, as they both will be back later on this afternoon. But while it’s quiet I’m enjoying it!

Man… when is this crap going to end??? On Wednesday the kids were home from school due to the snowy weather and poor road conditions. Well guess what?? Today they are home once again due to a pending snowstorm. I honestly don’t think we ever had as much time off when I was growing up as these kids do. I really hope we get all this snow they are calling for. Otherwise I’m going to be seriously upset that the kids were home once again today for nothing. Oh well, they’re happy.

My son does something pretty neat for the kids at Christmas time. They hold a Santa’s workshop for the children. This gives the kids the opportunity to shop for their relatives and purchase them small gifts. Well my son had a blast at Santa’s workshop. He bought a present for me, his sister and his father. He looked for something for his grandfather and his wife but said all he could see were ties and figured his grandfather’s wife wouldn’t get much use out of those. So… he had fun, bought his gifts and is extremely happy with his purchases.

Last Friday my son brought home his report card. I have to tell you all that I was highly impressed with how well he did as well as mildly surprised. He got all A’s and B’s on his report card and he had excellent behavior. It was his behavior I was a little concerned about as this boy really, really likes to talk. Teachers in the past have had problems with his talking so I figured this one would too. But nothing was mentioned so I guess it’s not a problem this year. My daughter brings hers home tonight and unless there is something going on that I’m not aware of, I expect hers is going to be pretty amazing as well.

My daughter’s school is sending home their mid term reports tomorrow and I’m a little nervous to see how she’s doing. I have seen some of the tests that she has brought home and some of them aren’t really good. Now this is really strange for her as normally she does very well in school. But maybe grade 7 is proving to be a little more difficult for her. Oh well she still has the second half of the term to bring these marks up so hopefully she will do better once she gets her final report card.

The kids have only been in school for two weeks and so far both of them have come home complaining of bullying! I’m really getting tired of this crap. I put up with an entire year of it last year with my daughter and now it seems that both her and him are having troubles with the bullies. The schools are supposed to have a zero tolerance policy against bullying and I think I’m going to have to make sure that they enforce this. One kid to deal with is bad enough, but two… enough is enough!
