It's Been A Few Days

Sorry it's been a few days since I have posted.  I just suck don't I?

I went to the funeral and it was very nice.  I was so nervous as I walked in.  I just didn't want to cry, didn't know what to do or say, just felt like an ass.  I am so thankful that my co-worker drove me there, because there is no way I could have done it alone.  She told me in the car that she knows that it was my nerves and that is why I got sick on Monday and had to go home.  She is so cool.  She knows me so well.

I got an email from Ben's teacher on Wednesday that he has been being a bit naughty at school lately.  He is watching the two naughty boys in the class and mimicking them.  He doesn't want to do his work and complains.  He doesn't want to be partnered with anybody to do the work.  When she tries to correct him he starts balling and disrupts the classroom.  So of course since I was home after the funeral on Wednesday, I went to pick them up from school, and sure enough the teacher comes out with Ben.  She told me that Ben yelled at her when she told him she sent me the email.  I told Ben to tell her that he was sorry.  He told ME that he was sorry and I told him to turn around and tell her.  He starts balling.  Loud balling.  Right in the middle of the school yard.  Ugh.  So he cried the whole way home.  Hubz and I had a talk with him that night trying to find out what is going on, and since he doesn't say much it was kind of hard.  He said he doesn't like school and doesn't want to go anymore.  We told him that he has to go and better figure out a way to like it.  Honestly we think he has the spring fever, BUT we told him he better shape up and be good in school or we are going to take away his computer.  He didn't like that one bit.  He has been good ever since.  So strange.

Yesterday was my day off, and I did nothing.  I tried to sleep on the couch but of course Sammy had to bark all the time.  He can be such a pain sometimes.  So no sleep for me, just resting.  But that's okay.  Whatever.

Poor Hubz, I have made him work hard this week trying to get pregnant LOL!  He has done a good job!  So we shall see.  I read on the internet that there is only a 20% chance each month of getting pregnant.  Those are pretty low odds.  That just makes me crazy, when others can get pregnant in a heartbeat, no problem.  All of the accidents, etc.  The kids still don't know what we are up to, and I am going to keep it that way until I actually have some news to tell them.  That way I can dodge all of the questions for now.

Today Maddy and I are going to meet my Mom at the mall to get her a Mother's Day present.  Hubz is also giving me some money to go to Yankee Candle and get a present for myself from the kids.  And we are going to get Maddy some shorts too, because last year's are just too darn short.  Of course the first thing she says to me is that she isn't going to try the shorts on.  OH YES SHE IS, because I am just not sure what size she wears these days.  Hopefully we will do well in that department.

I just want to wish you all a happy and wonderful Mother's Day.  Enjoy it!

Happy Mother's Day! Good luck this month!

Happy Mother's Day to you too. I'm sure B is just worn out from school and ready for summer vacation. He's sounding like a typical little boy to me. It's good that you do have some leverage with him though :-) Trust me, we do what we have to do sometimes LOL!
