BYE MOM!

Hello there! Man, I'm not sure what I am right now, kinda tired, kinda in between being excited and not sure if I should be YET, enjoying the peace of Molly nappin' and the boys at school... I just got off the phone with our designer and things seem to be headed in the direction we want/NEED them to be! YEAH! But with as many hicups as we've hit before, I don't want to be prematurely excited. Let's hope and pray this is what will work and the past 2 days of constant back and forth between 3 of us (which is now just 2) was the best move we could make!

It was hard to see poor Jack struggling yet again this morning before school started. He is still having a hard time with the lunch situation - simply because of his teacher's aide. She said to him on Monday "Jack, this seating arrangement at lunch is only temporary you know, you won't be sitting here all year." His little heart was broken. I contacted his teacher to see if maybe Jack didn't quite understand what she said, but her and I haven't been able to talk about it yet. Either way, the kid has a literal stomach ache about it all over again. So come Wednesday, I went and had lunch with him at school to see what his new seating arrangement is and to let the lady know I was gonna stay on top of it. This teacher's aide isn't the friendliest of people, makes me wonder why she is in with 5 year olds!! We do love his teacher though. Anywho, where he has been sitting at lunch is wonderful. Cute kindergartners who talk and share their Cheetos and talk about wanting to play together on the playground. The little girl who sat across from me kept talking to me the whole time, even when I wasn't paying attention :) And I thought - now this is what his lunch setting should be, where he is comfortable, able to open up and make some new friends... The other issue that he's been dealing with is the bus. I may have mentioned this before, but he told me that the neighbor boy (Michael of all names) that his friends on the bus have been picking on Jack. So Jack has said "I will just sit somewhere else, Mom." POOR KID. So that worked for a few days but he is so freaking nervous about it (I see him watch where Michael sits and then Jack will go back about 5 rows) that today, I took him to school. I never thought I'd be a parent who took her kid to school, but you know what? I think it's necessary to help ease his mind and belly. He's FIVE years old. What the beak! Man, life just ain't easy... And when you're a mom, you can't help but take it to heart for your little one. And I'm not sayin' he's perfect, but I do know as time has gone on and he's still having a few things at school going on, he can't help but react to the stress by say kicking the kitchen or not thinking about what he's saying. My heart goes out to him.

Then after we got home from dropping him off (he was so relieved getting in the truck to head out), Mikie got in Papa's truck and headed to preschool. Mikie wanted Papa to take him this morning so I called last night to get that arranged :) Mikie turned around in his carseat and kept waving and mouthing "BYE MOM!" as they pulled away. It was so cute.

Here's to hoping the boys have a good morning at school and our website stuff is peachy and all is well! Mol is taking a nice nap so I'm able to make some of these phone calls again (I have to call my cell provider and I hate doing that!). Have a good day all :)
