What FUN these parent/teacher conferences were!!!!
STRAIGHT A'S FOR TWO
AND 4 A'S AND 3 B'S FOR ONE!
CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION!!!
It was so nice to hear what wonderful children I have... of course... I don't get to see these great kids, but it's nice someone gets to!
After the initial..."Well, He has straight A's, he's a great student and kid..." we spent the rest of the time just chatting and laughing and talking about our lives and our parenting styles..
IT WAS AWESOME!
Don't throw up... I know I sound like one of those Mama's whose kids are perfect and everything is wonderful... COME ON!!! YOU KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT!
It is just a good day... yeah!
Now... how do I get my 14 year old to stop brooding. I've had about 3 months of it... and from other Mama's I've heard it lasts for about 6 years... and that just will NOT do. I can take about one more week, and then I'm done!
He is just gonna have to snap out of it!
Life is too short!
I have to say though.. this morning, he was getting out of the car for school, he walked a few steps, stopped, turned around, came back to the car, opened the door, crawled over the passenger seat, and planted a big kiss on my cheek and told me he loved me.
I asked him what that was for... and he just said he felt like he needed to do that.
Whatever the reason... I'll take it, any day of the week.
When I told him he got straight A's again, he perked up.
So maybe he's just concentrating a lot, and working hard, and maybe I'm just being over sensitive.
HUH!
Me?
Oversensitive???
NEVER!
We are off to have a celebration dinner OUT! OUT!!! We never eat OUT!
Ciao!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day to be neighbors... won't you be mine... could you be mine...
Congrats on your boys awesome job in school. Teenagers are funny people and they will drive you crazy. You can not convince them that anything you have to say is revelant (or true) to their lives because they know everyhing!!! Its a wild ride but in the end they come back around and you will have a great friend.
ReplyDeleteI just don't know if I have the fortitude.
ReplyDeleteI wanna party! I'm 40 soon!!! yahooooo!
I don't wanna have a brooding teen while I'm turning a great age! haa haaa
Thanks Cheri... You are great!
Congrats Shaver Boys. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYou tell when and where and we will celebrate your 40th!! Even though I still don't believe I am that old I would have loved a party! After all we are children of the eighties and we know how to party!!!!!Quarters anyone?
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! QUARTERS!!! I FORGOT!
ReplyDeleteLOL
!
Truly awesome work from the boys. My oldest has decided he doesn't have to work so hard on maintaining his As and Bs. He's completely capable of straight As but just doesn't give the extra effort.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, he got a C!!!! You know those parents that pay their kids for good grades? (Forgive me if that's anyone reading.) Well, not only do I not pay, but a C from a clearly A student, constitutes a payment to mom!! Now our agreement was that if there where no Cs, I'd pay the $60 for the year end trip to Disney. Surprise, I got my $60 back!
Good job Kathy! You are a good mama!
