OOPS

So, for some reason the previous entry would not post last night, or rather early this morning when I wrote it but I just got it to post so it may seems strange. I still have to learn about how blogs work. Maybe if I did them a little more often.

Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic

Two of my fellas go back to school tomorrow. Who gave them permission to grow up anyway? Middle guys is a Senior this year. DO WHAT! What happened to the kid I know with no patience even before birth so he kicked his way out a month early? Oh yeah, he still has no patience, he's so ready to be done with school. The only saving grace is that he has Vo-Tech which means welding for 3 of his 7 classes. He loves welding. Last year was his first year in it and the first day he got to weld I received a text from him at lunch stating that "welding is the best thing I've ever done in my life". (If he ever finds out I have a blog and knows I put this out there for anyone to see, he won't talk to me for a whiole). Then there is "my baby". My baby is in 9th grade this year. He's a Freshman. NO he's my baby! Where's the little guy that carried around his favorite blanket and hung on to my leg whenever he was in an uncomfortable situation?
This mama bear got a little put out yesterday at open house and has to step on her soap box a sec. Me and my baby are walking around looking for his classrooms, trying to get him oriented and meet his teachers and this woman passes us and comments on on cute and little he is. I'm sorry, if he were big would you comment on that? If he were disabled? Why is ok to comment on someone who is small? Can he help it if he's skinny, trust me the kid can eat and does. It's in his genes, I was skinny..............once upon a time, his dad is still fairly skinny and from what I hear was really small for his age for a long time, hit the growth spurt kind of late. Well I can tell that woman one thing, my baby may not be a big hulking football player but I bet he can whoop her baby in a math test! SO THERE!
Wish I could share a pic of my two fellas (and I better quit calling one of them a baby in case they ever discover this blog) but they hide when cameras come out.
