"OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!!"

So, I have been informed by Kanooer, that my blog is no longer funny. To you Kanoo, I say "WHAT EV" doing the W - E finger thing as I say that. Actually, I'm o.k with that, because I know we can't be funny all of the time, just ask Ally or Pam. Just kidding guys, love ya! I may have just lost the only person that reads my blog anymore.
So, what I really need today are some opinions. Now I know that asking most of you for opinions is totally unnecessary, because they will come whether asked for or not, but really, I'm curious as to what you all think about a situation. And with that said, the situation I will now present.
Today, my precious little loads brought home their report cards for the first term. I enjoy getting these little reports. Elementary school report cards are almost always sweet and a source of pride. Happy little notes from the teachers about what a joy your child is, punctuated with a little smiley face, can make a mother's heart swell. To all of you with only young kids, treasure these little reports of success, soak up the gold stars and happy faces, because about Jr. High, it all goes to @#$%!! But I digress. Today I recieved a report with the following information.
SOCIAL STUDIES-E ( an E means Excellent, duh)
ART-E
HISTORY-E
LANGUAGE ARTS-E
MATH-E
SCIENCE-E
TECHNOLOGY-E
PHYSICAL EDUCATION-N, did you see that an N, this doesn't mean NO PROBLEMS or NIFTY, it means NEEDS IMPROVEMENT, and is the lowest grade possible.
My concern wasn't especially with the grade, it's PE, I mean really who gives a crap about PE, it was the note next to the grade.
"Really having problems talking out of turn and bothering others" My first reaction was, I needed to talk to this child and tell him shape up, behave, and quit disrupting class. Then I read the second line. "He's the only one I have not seen progress from last year" Signed. ' I'M ONLY A PE TEACHER, WHAT THE HECK DO I KNOW". ( I used a pseudonym to protect the teachers identity.)
I read the second part of the note and instantly felt that it was unnecessary, and implying something negative. I don't know what was being implied, but I know it was negative. Or was it ? Am I being over sensitive?
His teacher also left a note that read "Really improving overall and showing more respect to me and others. Keep it up!" No smiley face, but she did use an exclamation point, that's almost as good.
My little load will be told to behave in PE, and to listen to his teacher. He has told me before that he doesn't like his PE teacher, and I've always told him it doesn't matter whether or not he likes her, she's in charge, and he has to do what she says. The question isn't whether or not he was misbehaving. I just wanted to know if I'm being an over sensitive boob? Or if I'm not, would it be O.k. to give PE teacher a major mad mom crusty next time I see her?

(just for clarification, and to also justify my position, the nice note was from his all day, every day teacher. Bad, mean, rude, full of implication (I think??)
note was from PE teacher, who he sees once or twice a week for an hour.)

GOOD VIDEO

I usually don't enjoy political discussion, but it is almost election time so watch the video on the above link. And if nothing else gives us confidence in John McCain (besides the fact he's not Obama) he is a patriot and supports our soldiers.

OOPS!

I left out some of the grandkids in the last post. I didn't know I had a picture of Kate, but found one of her looking oh so cool and another of her at Lagoon with Josh and Tiff. Also, there is now one of Sydney, and how could I forget my own precious Tres. The other pictures of the "two old dudes nobody knows" "mom and the two big cabbage heads" "riley picking goobers" etc. were needed as filler.

LOTS OF LITTLE LOADS

 

Today is the first day of fall break. Five days of "mom, I'm bored" "mom he/she is teasing me" "mom, I'm hungry". In other words five days of pure bliss. So before we get too overwhelmed, let's take a look back and remember just how cute they use to be, how cute they still are, and how time goes way too fast. I've got to go now and yell at the kids.

P.S."Word of the day" gadget on the sidebar, so we can all increase our smartitude as we conversate wit our peeps.

ANSWERS TO THE QUIZ EVEN THOUGH NO ONE REALLY CARES.

1. SAID BY......TRES, when he was small, I was driving with all the little loads feeling more frustrated than usual. It was unusually quiet in the back seats and I actually had the thought "at least the kids are being good" when out of the back came this little voice...."MA.....I HATE YOU"
He had been scolded for something maybe an hour prior, but was just then getting around to sharing his feelings.

2.SAID BY......DOS if you want to know the story ask Holly, she tells it best, but be warned there is a little swearing involved.

3.SAID BY.....AH, WES

when: family vacation
how: really good aim
why: little boys, full bladders, empty bottle nuf' said.

4.SAID BY......TRES it sounded like he was saying "coltyn's on the roof" because coltyn was on the roof. So if your ever at our house and your upstairs and there's a fire and your trying to save yourself by getting out the windows and you can't because they are all screwed shut, this is the reason.

5.SAID BY......COLE of course the most positive and sweet thing was said by one of Ally's little angels.

6.SAID BY......CUATRO when he said that I told the other kids ''Don't sit on you Clinger cousins"
ha, ha, just kidding, or am I? Love you Ally!

7.SAID BY....THE AMAZING RILEY AND THE UTERI- if she ever has a band, I think that would be an awesome name (if you don't know why, ask Holly)

8.SAID BY......DOS sometimes you just gotta say what you feel, or in this case scream at the top of your lungs what you feel.

9.SAID BY......TIFF NASH those Nash girls know all about high "end" fashion (pun intended, if you didn't get it, ask Holly)

10.SAID BY.....RYDER hope your feeling better little man,

11.SAID BY......CUATRO I like Allisons answer better though because like I said before, Awesome mental picture.

12.SAID BY......UNO A big Thanksgiving dinner, then sitting on the pot singing a Thanksgiving ditty, does life get any better?

13.SAID BY......DOS after getting after her brothers for saying mean things to each other, she was there to remind me that she doesn't say mean things, only nice things and whats nicer than puppies and rainbows.

FAMOUS QUOTES

I still have nothing, I've threatened the little loads that if they didn't do something blog worthy soon, I would ground them all, but that didn't work. So since I always take mom's advice I decided to dig up some famous quotes from the past. You should all know these by now. I will give you the quote and see if you can name the kid that said it. I will even throw in some memorable quotes from little loads other than mine sooo..... let's see who can NAME THAT QUOTE!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK.

Give us a reason to get up each day, Please!!!!

I was really on a role. A new post every day for a week, comments galore. And now, I got nothing! No funny stories to share, no amazing thoughts. I feel as if I've let you all down because I know for a fact some of you check here every day, sometimes more than once a day,hoping for something new. Something you can leave a rude comment about, something that will make you laugh, something that makes you wish you were me ( that last one was to make you laugh). But I'se got nuthin. So, if anyone would like to share an amusing anecdote, (Holly you could share your most recent Rylie-roo story) please feel free.
