Have I really not posted since June? Oh, that's bad.
Of course, there really hasn't been much to blog about. My eldest has finally gotten his own apartment but I'm unable to get a hold of him because he would rather have cigarettes than pay his phone bill. Oh well, at least he has a roof over his head and (I can only assume) food in his belly.
My second oldest son is terrified to learn how to drive. I took him on an empty dirt road in the middle of nowhere and he freaked out. I mean, what seventeen year old boy doesn't want to drive?! Sigh.
N started 2nd grade. I know I'm going to sound ridiculously 'mom-like' right now, and I apologize in advance, but I seriously doubt that they're teaching to her level. Yeah yeah yeah, I said it. But, come on, her spelling words this week consist of 'me', 'my', 'duck' and 'spot' among other words that she's been able to spell since before she started Kindergarten. Not to mention that her teacher has completely lost all my confidence in her. She keeps sending mass blank emails to everybody and then sends the same email twice. She gave N's markers that I bought to another student and then made herself sound like a hero when she bought some new ones for her. "Mom, you should really thank her for buying new markers for me!" Um...yeah. The icing on the cake is that she mispronounces N's name and called me by my mother's name today (I can only assume it's because she was looking at the emergency contact list since that's the only place I put her name). N says she's sooooo nice. Hmph. Of course she is...
C has started gymnastics again after taking the summer off. She's doing so good! She has her back-bend kickover and it almost even has straight legs now. I'm unbelievably proud of both of my little gymnasts. N's season has started back up and her first meet it September 15th. I might be more excited than she is :P
Hope I get a chance to blog again soon!
