Daily Ooo's: Thursday February 17

[faerywings]

another day... blergh.... just hate this time of year.

I am moving really slow- very tired today. I didn't feel good much of yesterday and didn't sleep good last night. I'm glad the kids are off from school tomorrow. I can sleep in a bit.

Poor Cait is having a rough time at at school. Her ex-BF and a couple of his freinds have been spreading rumors about her, everything from calling her fat, to anorexic, to saying she is pregnant. yesterday, he reported to the guidance counselor that she is cutting.

I have been in contact with her guidance counselor who passed this info to the Bullying Committee. I spoke to the g.counselor again yesterday when she called to tell me that they legally had to check her wrists/ankles for cuts but that they do not see any evidence. She seemed kind of miffed that this was even an issue- she couldn't tell me who reported this, but when I asked if it could be connected to the bullying, she hesitated and said that it was possible. Cait got the same impression when she was talking to her.

Cait seems to be handling it ok, and I am trying to check on with her w/o making her uncomfortable or aggravated. I am sure you moms with older kids know what I mean LOL

why is is so damn hard to be a parent???
And my goodness-- why are kids so mean???

We were supposed to be going up to my mom's lakehouse this weekend for a couple of days, but Cait can't leave her bunny.
Gary has been sick. Scott still sort of wants to go, but really wanted it to be all 4 of us. I am thinking that I might just go by myslef. My parents will be there and it might be a nice break for me.

Ugh! :hurt:

Gotta get moving- late late late for a very important date. (with the bus stop!)

morning- my day off and errand running it will be- dry cleaners, grocery, haircut and bank- I think that is enough. I may torture myself and go to the cell phone store- I am this close to replacing my "jitterbug" - my old cell- mr. gorgeous has taken to texting me at night and my ghi, pqrs keys are very touchy. We will see. I also need to home bless and am hoping to enjoy the hot tub these nights that are warmer with the big moon out!

Chris- I thought- wow how early she is posting the daily and then realized- ummm I slept in.

Have great days everyone

Morning ladies ... off to work this morning but home by 2:00pm. Wow what a beautiful moon shining on the lake this morning, should have taken a picture, but not sure if it would have turned out??

Chris - I am so :sorry: that your daughter is going through this terrible time, ex BF's can be so very mean!! My Daughter had a terrible time in school in grade nine, new school and the girls did not like her at all. Poor thing, but you sound like you are doing all the right things for her!! Keep being the great mom that you are and hopefully this will blow over quickly!! I think you going to the lake by yourself is a wonderful idea!! Some r&r would be good medicine for you!

Laurie - Sounds like you have a full day planned!! Hope you get everything done quickly then you can hop in that hot tub. Awwwww!!

Hi to everyone else who pops in here today, hope your day is great!! :wave:

Hey girlies!! Sorry I'm MIA again...I've been crazy busy (as usual) but still lurking to check on my fave peeps here everyday!! Hope everyone is filled with the hope that spring isn't too far off...I woke up to noisy birds this morning...was hard to get cranky at them since it meant that I probably wouldn't be cold today! LOL!!!

Trudy, I am loving your new avi, hun!! just gorgeous!!!!

Laurie, you keep up the good work and you deserve a new cell phone! I am loving my DroidX!! perfect for texting!!

Chris, hugs, hugs, and more hugs!! I'm so glad you are one of those involved parents who knows whats going on. Cait will thrive because you and Gary are wonderful parents!! and don't you forget it!!

Love you all dearly!!

Hey ladies. Today I was going to finish up my Red Cross paperwork but I cannot find my CPR card anywhere. UGH!! I really do not want to retake it because I would have to retake the actual class again which I haven't done in who knows how long. I've always recerted. It was in my wallet. How does it disappear from my wallet. So Addie and I are going to go get our toes done and get a few groceries. Maybe go to the nicer grocery store since I hate all the grocery stores around here. I mean the preferred grocery store is Walmart. It sucks. It is the way they are set up and laid out. It is just icky. They feel like discount stores. The nice one isn't even expensive.

Did I tell you guys I got our doctors all set up finally? The kids are finally set up on post in pediatrics. About freaking time. Anyway, I had better go.

Chris - Maybe it is time for that boy to have to explain to his friends how he got beat up by a girl. I know how she feels. When I was in 8th grade I was at this guy's house and I didn't really know him and he started kissing me and stuff and I told him to stop. So, when I went to school the next day the entire school decided I had slept with him. I was in 8th grade for goodness sake. I still thought sex was icky. There was this girl who bugged me about it all year long. It was horrible. And the guy never talked to me or anything. Made me feel real great. Just tell her he's just mad because she knows she's too cool for him and that's his way of trying to bring her down. As far as the cutting crap...tell her to freeze her little toosh off and walk around proudly in short sleeves, or to wear a sweater that she can take off frequently. Fat and anorexic, huh? Real winners. I love it when the rumors make so much sense. I know it doesn't make it easier but remind her that as long as her friends are sticking by her nothing else really matters. Everyone else sucks. You're a rocking mom. That's awesome that you are keeping in contact with the guidance counselor and a bullying commitee? Awesome!! And even better that you even know about the situation. I'd have died before telling my mom some of the stuff that happened like that.

Ugh - my feet keep falling asleep and it hurts.

Laurie - Have fun on your day off. I need to do some home blessing too.

Trudy - Have a good day at work. Short days are awesome. That could have been a fun picture. I'd have loved to have seen it.

Alright I have to walk around. My feet are making me crazy. Love you all.

SALLY!!!! Hey girly!! Love to see you in here. Love the sound of birdies!! I hope they mean warm weather too. Have a fabulous day.

Chris --- I'm totally jealous that they have a bullying committee!! When I was in high school, they did NOTHING. I had a boy in three of my classes try to attack me during PE, then after that altercation he kept bragging that he raped me. I kept it mostly in, didn't share how much it was affecting me, and I developed PTSD. My "friends" back then thought what he was doing was funny. I had to change schools, be heavily medicated, and it took over two years to get my life back. I never thought I'd be able to wake up each day and not instantly remember what happened. But, with discovering my faith and having great friends -- I got over it!
I hope that everything is taken care of for Cait, grrr I want to drive across country and give that boy a piece of my mind and a meeting with my fist!!!!! WTG for staying on top of everything Chris!!!!

Laurie -- have fun running errands!!! I hope your phone gets worked out, Jeff's desperately needed one for a year now, but he's waiting to see if a new iphone comes out this summer *shakes head* our tax refund is very VERY nice this year so he can splurge.

Trudy -- I LOVE THE NEW AV!!!!! Have fun at work I want to see your lake!!!

Sally -- I hope the birds really did mean it isnt that cold today!!!!

Clara -- HOORAY for finally getting the doctors all set up!!!!!!! Wow, so glad that battle is OVER!!!

Well today is already crap. Jeff can't get to sleep, I'm all fuzzy from still not getting proper sleep, and I have a full schedule today. I'm so glad I gave myself 1030 to 12 off from working, I need it to wake up!

I need to find a place in the schedule to go to the pharmacy and get some melatonin for the two of us, our last resort!
