Therapy....

Well seems I've been blogging more than you guys recently huh??? Oh well, told you guys I need something to do with my hands...
Ya'll I seriously feel like I'm about to crack up over this homework/school mess. Does school stress anyone else out as bad as it does me????? I'm serious? Do ya'll get as tore up about it as I feel like I do? First of all, I'm not really talking about Austin, we all know his past and it is what it is, but Ashton....seriously...I guess I just had higher hopes and now, well, let's just say, my expectations were too high!!!!!!! Um pretty sure he made a 13 on his spelling test today. Yes I said 13!!!! As in a 1 and a 3..13! And we studied. We studied ALL week as a matter of fact, we went over his spelling words every night in addition to all the other freakin homework he had. First grade is no joke by the way Jamie. I was just in disbelief when I opened that folder and saw that test. And to talk to him about it is like talking to a wall. I just get a blank look on his face....it's kinda like De Ja Vu (or how ever you spell that). So.....tonight we did write off's (of the spelling words), studied them, took practice spelling tests and read a story from his reading book, did a math page, studied his words for his "visual test" (yeah he has a visual reading type test on Fridays) and then read a book for AR (can't forget that AR)....pretty sure I'm tired. Tomorrow he does get to re take the spelling test and she'll take the better of the two grades for the grade book (surely it'll be better than a 13). I just don't know what has happened to him this year, it's like he was on it last year, just rollin with his school work and now...nada. Baseball sign ups are this weekend and I seriously don't know what to do? First of all we have so much home work every night that it's hard to have any xtra curricular activities when you're mother doesn't get home till 5/6/7 in the evening, then it takes the rest of the night to do homework. How do these people HAVE IT ALL???? I seriously want to know? How do people balance a career and kids and be soccer mom's etc? Maybe I'm just having a pity party tonight (and I want a cigarette so bad I can taste it so I'm just typing typing typing....) and maybe I just need to get over it. Austin, on the other hand...never brings a book home so I have no idea if he has home work or not. I guess he figures what I don't know won't hurt me huh???? ha. I said I wasn't gonna talk about him, so I won't park there. Well, I just needed to vent a little I guess. I'm really tired and I should go to bed but just still setting here.......
Jen, I'm glad you got your tooth fixed. Hope it holds up for ya. Jamie, good luck on the ol "briefing" you have to give tomorrow-Jamie has to give a brief summary of her section (orally) at the Business Office Staff meeting tomorrow-needless to say she's in a panic. But it'll be fine, just say a prayer and GOD will walk you right on through it.....ha...listen to me...need to take my own advice huh????
See ya.
