THE LIEING GAME

I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY KIDS THINK INSTEAD OF SAYING YES I DID IT, THEY WOULD RATHER GET IN TROUBLE TWICE, FOR THE ORIGINAL OFFENCE AND THEN FOR LYING, WHY DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WONT GET IN TO AS MUCH TROUBLE IF THEY JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
THIS MORNING, I ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION DID THE PANS GET WASHED LAST NIGHT, AND DEREK AND JIMMY BOTH STAND THERE AND SAY YES. THEY LEAVE THE ROOM AND GUESS WHAT, THEY DIDNT WASH THEM. WHY DID THEY LIE, "BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO GET INTO TROUBLE FOR, FORGETTING THEM". UGH, NOT THAT BIG A DEAL, JUST WANTED TO KNOW, SO THAT I CAN WASH THEM TO MAKE BREAKFAST. INSTEAD OF IT BEING A SIMPLE THING, NOPE THEY WOULD RATHER GET IN TROUBLE, FOR LYING. I DONT LIKE BEING LIED TO AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT THEY BOTH CAN LOOK ME STREIGHT IN THE EYE WITHOUT HESSITATION AND AND LIE. HOW THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT, WHO KNOWS. AND WHAT I REALLY DONT GET IS WHY, IS THAT REALLY SOMETHING THEY NEED TO LIE ABOUT. SO NOW THEY ARE AT RISK OF MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL WEEK, AND FOR WHAT, A DARN SKILLIT.

CALANDER

OK, SO I HAVE BECOME ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT DOES'NT PLAN ANYTHING WITHOUT REFERING TO HER CALANDER. THIS IS IN MOST PART BECAUSE, I WOULD COMPLETLY FORGET ABOUT APPOINMENTS. NOW I WROTE THEM DOWN ON THE WALL CALANDER, BUT HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE SOMEHTING ALREADY PLANNED IF ITS AT HOME. SO I STARTED USING MY MSN CALANER BECAUSE IT SENDS ME EMAILS THE DAY BEFORE OR (WHENEVER I CHOSE TO SET IT), TO REMIND ME OF MY APPOINTMENTS. WELL IT WORKED SORT OF, BUT I STILL NEEDED A WAY SO THAT I WOULDNT DOUBLE BOOK MYSLEF FOR THINGS. WHICH I DID SEVERAL TIMES WITH DADS DR APPTS, SO I WENT OUT A WHILE BACK AND GOT ME A CALANDER PLANNER THING(NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS REMEMBER TO WRIGHT IN BOTH LOL) WELL ITS BEEN WORKING FOR ME. I GET VERY BUSY AROUND HER WITH ALL THE KIDS, SCHOOL, PTO, DAD'S STUFF.
SO I WAS UPDATING THE TWO CALANDERS MAKING SURE I HAVE THE DATES IN BOTH PLACES, (SOMTIMES IF I'M AT MY COMPUTER WHEN I SCHEDULE SOMTHING I PUT IT THERE, AND VISE VERSA WITH THE PLANNER) AND I AM LOOKING AT THIS THING AND MAN AM I ONE BUSY PERSON FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THAT DOESNT EVEN COUNT THE PTO EVENTS, WE DONT SCHEDULE THOSE UNTIL OUR MEETING ON THE 5TH. YIKES. MOST OF IT IS FOR STUFF FOR THE KIDS, SO I GUESS ITS OK, BUT MAN IS IT INTIMIDATING TO LOOK AT THE CALANDER. BUT ITS OK ITS ALL WORTH IT. JUST DONT BE SURPRISED IF YOU INVITE ME AND I CANT MAKE, :)

SUPPLYS

OK SO ITS THAT TIME A YEAR AGAIN WERE WE HAVE TO START THE BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING. NOW I THOUGHT I WOULD GET A HEAD AND STARTED GETTING STUFF LITTLE BY LITTLE ALL SUMMER LONG, WELL AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT I GOT ONE THING THAT IS ON THE LIST FOR THE FOURTH GRADE. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE STUFF THAT I DID GET FOR THE BOYS (THINKNG THEY WOULD NEED IT) MOST OF IT WAS ON THE 2ND GRADE LIST. NOW THESE LIST GET MORE AND MORE OUTRAGOUS EACH YEAR. THE BOYS LIST ISNT BAD AT ALL ONLY 7 ITEMS, PAPER, PENCILS, GLUE STICKS, CRAYONS, RED & BLACK PENS, ERASERS. WELL AFTER LOOKING IN MY BING OF SCHOOL SUPPLYS, THE ONLY THING I NEED IS THE PENS, BECASUE KIMO WOULDNT LET ME BUY THEM WHEN I WANTED TOO BECAUSE HE SWORE THEY DONT NEED THEM UNTIL JUNIOR HIGH, BUT O WELL THEY HAVE THE BIG BAG FOR LIKE 88 CENTS. BUT THE 2ND GRADE LIST. OMG ITS LONG AND STUPED. 15 ITEMS, ARE NEEDED. BUT THATS NOT THE PART THAT GETS TO ME, SHE HAS TO HAVE 3 BOXES OF KLEENEX, NOW THIS ISNT AN OPTIONAL ITEM. AND SCISSORS, BUT A SPECIFIC BRAND OF SCISSORS. AND A LARGE BOTTLE OF HAND SANITIZER. WHATS ON THE OPTIONAL LIST COLORD PENCILS AND MARKERS, OK I THINK THATS A LITTLE BACKWARDS, IT SHOULD BE OPTIONAL FOR THE KLEENEX AND HAND SANITIZER, AND REQUIRED FOR THE MARKERS AND COLORED PENCILS. SO NOW I HAVE TO RUN OUT AND GET THE KLEENEX AND HAND SANITIZER AND A COUPLE MORE ITEMS THAT I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT WHEN I WENT ORIGALLY, BUT SHE DOES HAVE THOSE MARKERS AND COLORD PENCILS, THOSE WERE SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT I BOUGHT FOR THE BOYS THINKNING THEY WOULD NEED IT. SO AT LEAST IM GETTING USE OF IT SOMEWAY.
ON TOP OF THE STUFF THAT I NEED TO GET FROM HER LIST, I STILL NEED TO GET SOME CLOTHS FOR THEM. BUT IT S NOT TOO BAD, BECAUSE I ONLY NEED 2 MOR UNIFORM SHIRTS A PIECE FOR THEM, THANKFULLY A FEW OF THOSE EARLY. BUT SOMEHOW IM THINKING NEXT WEEKEND ISNT GOING TO BE ANY FUN FINDING ALL THIS STUFF. GUESS I'LL HAVE TO START EVEN EARLIER NEXT YEAR. BUT IN THE PACKET THE SCHOOL SENT THEY SENT SUPPLY LIST FOR EVERY GRADE, SO IM GOING TO SAVE THEM SO WHEN I GO NEXT SUMMER TO GET STUFF I CAN BE CLOSER TO HAVING WHAT I NEED THEN I WAS THIS YEAR......

HE'S HEADED FOR SCHOOL!!

SO WE GOT THE OFFICAL WORD (A POSTCARD FROM THE HEADSTART PROGRAM). ARTURO HAS BEEN EXCEPTED INTO THE HEADSTART PROGRAM IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. YAY. THE TEACHER WILL CONTACT ME ABOUT DOING THE HOME VISIT, AND WHEN HE STARTS. NOT SURE WHICH OF THE 3 SCHOOLS THAT HAVE HEADSTART INOUR DISTRICT HE WILL BE GOING TOO. I'M HOPING IT WILL BE THE ONE THATS JUST ABOUT A MILE FROM HERE, BUT WITH MY LUCK IT WILL BE THE ONE THATS A 15 MINUTE DRIVE FROM HERE... O WELL I'M JUST GLAD HE GOT IN....

POTTY UPDATE

SO SHE HAS BEEN DOING PRETTY GOOD, JUST A COUPLE ACCIDENTS, WE KEEP HER IN UNDERWEAR DURING THE DAY, AND AT BEDTIME WE PUT HER IN A PULL-UP, SHE HAS GOTTEN REALLY GOOD AT TELLING ME SHE HAS TO GO, OR AT LEAST TRYING TO TELL US. WE ARE REMINDING HER TO GO CONSTITLY, SHE HAS THE GENERAL IDEA. BUT SHE TRYS TO PUT ON A PULL-UP WHEN SHE GETS TIRED OF HAVING TO USE THE TOILET, SO I HID THEM FROM HER. SHE IS A PRETTY SMART ONE, A LIL LASZY TOO... LOL BUT I AM PROUD OF HER OVERALL SHE IS DOING WELL, JUST GLAD TO BE DONE WITH THE WHOLE DIAPER THING SOON, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHE FINALEY DID IT!!!!!!

YES THATS RIGHT SHE FINALEY USED THE POTTY ON HER OWN.. YAY BELLA!!! WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING HER IN JUST UNDIES AND A T-SHIRT AT HOME FOR LIKE THE LAST MONTH OR SO, AND A PULL-UP WHEN WE GO OUT. SO YESTERDAY SHE SURPRISED ME WHEN SHE SAID I GOTTA GO POTTY, AND RAN TO HER POTTY, AND WENT, WE WERE ALL SO PROUD OF HER. SHE HAS SAT THERE A COUPLE TIMES. BUT YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME SHE WENT IN THERE. SO I HOPE SHE KEEPS UP THE GOOD WORK AND WE WILL BE DONE WITH THE POTTY TRAINING DONE SOON, A FEW ACCIDENTS I EXPECT, BUT I THINK WE ARE HEADED INTO BETTER DAYS, NO MORE PULL-UPS EVEN WHEN WE GO OUT, WE SHALL SEE. :)
