Move over Websters

I have decided to add some definitions to the dictionary or at least some further explanation of words.

My first word or words has to do with the first week of school or a glimpse of how hell's entrance test might be.
SCHOOL SPORTS: (noun, verb) A way to make a happy excited child depressed and angry.
run kids like crazy for days force parents to pay extra for physicals and force DR's to see kids then tell them that they
don't make the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then giving a reason for cuts....missing first day of tryouts due to ones
physical not being up to date even though the form says that the physical is good for 12 MONTHS. Which leads to my
next word.


12 MONTHS (frame of time): Any period of time not necessarily 12 actual months it could be 2 if the "Administration" feels
like it and we don’t really have to tell you it is not actually 12 months. Just assume it is not and get a physical every
month just to be sure.....

TEENAGER: (noun,verb,adjective,explictive) Have you ever just looked at the word? I see other words ANGER is one! I also
can see EAT,NAG, & ENRAGE? Please comment on this blog if you have a TEEN and you have felt any of these. Also
respond if you have heard these questions from this so called person....Where is my backpack? What?
OKAAAAAYYYYYY....???? I dunno! HUH? I forgot. Also respond if you wanted to kill said teen if only you could find a
place for the body! .

.
SCHOOL: A place a children goes and feel it qualifies as a full days work and he/she should not have to do a thing at home,
including homework.
HOMESCHOOL: A guarentee of insanity at some point. But also makes children feel as they have a done their "work" and do
not have to help out at home either


Wheeeww I almost feel better.

Back to school!

WOW summer is over! Where did it go? I know some call them the lazy days of summer but I can't seem to agree. I also don't agree with the kids going back to school being a fun and great relief as some parents feel. I really hate it. As you all know I hate getting up in the morning! Why do they have to start so early anyway! 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. is a great day. On top if the whole morning thing I still have 3 kiddos at home with me so I don't really get a break. I am not complaining about that part since I choose to keep them instead of shipping them off to the school from the movie Matilda! but I thought you would all like to hear how my first week went!




On Monday night I get Adam ready to go. He has enough supplies to start school but not what the "LIST" from the school has requested he have to start school. I REFUSE to buy anything on that list until I receive written conformation from the teachers that he WILL use ALL the materials that they have requested. I am so sick of buying everything that they ask for and at the end of the year they have only used 12 pages in the notebook! And what is up with having to buy PAPER for ART!!! SO SILLY! So Adam went to school the first day with last years binder and some pencils and lunch! I dropped him off and that actually went very smoothly (there happened to be 0 clueless people doing drop off this morning) After returning home I woke up the rest of the clan and got them moving (they were NOT HAPPY.)

We set ourselves up in the dining room and Austin went to the Kitchen. I was teaching Anna and Austin kept interrupting and bugging us. BOY this is going to be a long week! We did manage to finish and chill for a bit before I went to pick up Adam.

I pick him up and he informs me that he is NOT going to try out for football! After I finally agree to let him play ! Of course ask him why and he tells me because tryouts start today! Can someone with higher intelligence please explain to me HOW IS A PARENT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT TRYOUTS START THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL?! IT is not posted online nor was a note sent home in the back to school packet that was full of scrap paper. (here is a money saving tip for the PTO....SAVE A TREE!) How am I to know that my kid needs cleats, and work out clothes ect for the first day school!!!!!!!!!!! HOW RETARTED!
So with that little tirade... He says that he will try out for soccer! That starts tomorrow. Another question for those of higher intelligence.....WHY would anyone start sports the first week of school? Isn't it enough that these kids are now getting up early and trying to get things organized that they don't need to run around for 2 more hours a day and worry about making the team! WHATEVER!

So we run home and get ready for the whole day to start all over again! I will post more about day 2 later since I need to go teach some kiddies
