swellmomma Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Angry cleaning. Sounds like there is a story there. Not much of a story, just my teenaged conduct disorder son thinking he is entitled to everything but a good kick in the arse, which is what he needs more than anything. July 5th can not come soon enough. I will have a world of problems when he comes home 2 weeks later and he is transitioning again but those 2 weeks will be a much needed reprieve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well, I hope your day goes okay and you are able to catch up on your sleep later, Brandy. Forgot DH's b-day the other day, but I worked overtime this week so he seems to have forgiven me. :) I was busy making money. DS got a splinter at the park yesterday. I told him climbing the sign might not have been the best idea in light of the outcome, but he said, no, they should have sanded and painted it properly just like they do with the rest of the wooden playground every spring. Because they should have planned for situations like this. Kids climb things, and they should have expected that. I stand corrected, I said. :lol: :lol: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Kids learn even when we aren't teaching. This was how DD learned to read. She had been "reading" to me for some time; "reading" in quotes, because I assumed that she had the books memorized. Then, one day, she wanted to "read" to me a book she'd never seen. I gently explained that she couldn't do that and was met with offended outrage. So I handed over the brand-new book she'd never seen and therefore couldn't "read." She read the whole thing to me, needing only a little help with a couple of words. Opps. Yet another reminder of what happens to me when I assume. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 DDalmost14 has just immortalized her homeschool experience on my easel whiteboard. She drew a picture of herself snoozing at the table while Mom (me) gleefully and blissfully lectures on about some obscure math mumbo-jumbo. I can't figure out how to type it here and it doesn't quite meet math "grammar", but it's something to the point of 4 times 8 times ((2 divided by 7)squared) equals question mark. She used dots to indicate multiplication and indicated grouping, and I suspect that the scribbled lines in the "book" she has pictured represent the discussions on commutative, associative, and distributive properties.... Other recent artistic wonders of hers incorporated historic or cultural elements from history and other social studies into her imaginative fantasy creations. Both kids have now been firmly ordered to leave any such art work intact until 1) Daddy sees it, too, and 2) Mom captures it by taking a picture. She processes stuff visually, and this seems to actually be helping, so I'm encouraging it as long as it's all in good fun. If I ever write my life story I just might have to use some of her pictures to illustrate the more ignominious events.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She read the whole thing to me, needing only a little help with a couple of words. Opps. Yet another reminder of what happens to me when I assume. I had a stinker of a Kindergarten teacher when I was young. Preschool wasn't quite the norm back then, and so it was considered unusual for a child to enter K with some idea of the alphabet and how reading works. My Mom had already taught me the alphabet and how to read some words (mostly by reading with me a LOT and talking to me about the sounds letters make), so I knew how to read some when I started K -- and I said so. The teacher told me flatly that no, I couldn't. When I insisted yes, I could, she pointed to a word (not one of the typical words kids start with) and told me to read it. I told her I couldn't read that word, but I could read others and started to do so, and she promptly closed the book and told me she was right and I couldn't read. I told Mom later, and Mom had a "discussion" with that teacher, after which the teacher lightened up, but only just a little. She was a new teacher back then -- I assume she just assumed that all of her new students would be starting from the beginning and learn only what she taught them. Yeah, I've never been that cooperative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RN Mom dealt with it, but certainly wasn't happy. Ouch! He actual got two, both in the same finger. One was small, the other about a half inch - which in his little 8 yo finger looked huge. We had ridden our bikes to the park, so I was without anything with which to dislodge the splinters, so we had to ride home, take out the splinters, and ride back. He cried more as we were setting out to ride back to the park than when the splinters were in his finger, because he was afraid the boys he was playing with would leave the park before we got back, and that it would be time to come home again. I assured him that if they had left there would be others to play with. But they were there, and all was good. He was just really mad signs aren't meant to climb. Boy climbs everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 This is the second time someone has come back from a hiatus and ordered Jean to walk. She's walked every day this week now, I think. It's kinda funny. Someone should order me to go paddling this Saturday morning, before the rains come. Paddling is a family activity, because it takes both DH and me to handle everything and we won't let the girls out of it. If one of us goes paddling, we ALL go paddling. With lake lunches. Now that we found our preferred spot we take lake lunches so we can stay out longer. Oh, and with sunscreen. DH forgot that this past weekend, and now has some really red and ready to blister legs. The girls were fine because to their dismay I slathered it on them thickly. I have a stripe of red just below my knees, where my pants legs rode up AFTER I slathered myself. Oops.

swellmomma Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well no sleep for me yet, I had some steeped tea from Timmies at work this morning and still going strong. Leave for work again in 5 minutes, and have a staff dinner function afterwards. I will sleep well tonight. WHat I did do today is work on cleaning my livingroom. It was nasty, my kids are slobs and trashed it everyday while I was working and I have been too busy to deal with it. I hauled out (with help from a friend's husband) my humongous 15 year old broken tv(it has sat broken in the livingroom for a year), once he got it into my trunk I drove it to town office and left it for the electronic recycling. I scrubbed town the tv stand (turns out I LOVE the scent of Murphy's oil soap, which I used for the first time today). THen put on a little table cloth and moved the smaller tv we have been using onto it. THen I emptied that table unit I use to house math books and our MUS blocks and gave it a good scrub and weeded some out and then reorganized it. I scrubbed down my dd7's tall barbie dollhouse. ANd of course the never ending dishes and laundry have been a work in progress all day. SO still tired, but not enough to sleep, and lots of work done(last night I was cleaning and reorganizing my back room which is a scary room) ds16 must have figured out that if I had to put up with him anymore I was going to kill him because he has mostly stayed out of my way and done as he is asked (with one exception that made him quickly apologize profusely) so a much better day than yesterday and I just might let him live to see tomorrow. Teens are hard at the best of times but one with conduct disorder is completely unbearable at times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can answer the questions right now! 1) 5, 274,437,000 2) Canada, but if they would have waited a little longer, it would have been Slovenia! 3) Mustard greens sautéed with garlic and mushrooms! 4) Alexander the Great 5) Eating Cupcakes with a kilt-wearing Johnny Depp And now, a question of my own.... is it a sign that your deep freeze is sympathetic to your bad day when you open the door to put something in and a Tupperware full of chocolate chip cookies comes sliding down into your hands? Does that mean you must eat two? You're officially in. And no. It means you must share. ETA: BOOOYAH! ETA: Or ナイス (Booyah in Japanese. So says google.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 About how old was your brother? How did he feel about mom pulling a splinter out of his butt? How did he feel about mom SEEING his butt? Yes, this is awful, but, hey. It's all I could find...I'll let you off the hook if you can get through 1 minute of this. Dude. Them's my kin. :thumbup1: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
