RAMBLING

Yes, it's that quiet today.

We were busy earlier, which helped the time pass faster, but now, it's almost that time, and I'm ready to GO ! LOL

I had to spank my baby yesterday.  She was cutting up in class.  Worse, I found out that the hubby and my middle daughter knew that she was getting in trouble. The teacher even spoke to Matthew about it!  Nothing was done until a week later, when the teacher had Nikki call me at work to tell me what was going on, and requested a parent conference Friday morning. 

I HATE being given second-hand information.  I also feel that since Matthew knew that Angela was causing trouble, he should have dealt with her then.  I hate having the reputation that if anything is going on with the girls, call the momma and she will get to the bottom of it.  I mean, I KNOW that I care about my children's future and all, but shouldn't he, too? 

Most of all, I hate having to spank my "toodle-bug", LOL.  It broke my heart, but she asked for it.  I had a talk with her today. I told her that she will always be my baby, but it is time for her to begin pulling her own weight in the world.  She asked me what that meant, and I told her that she is going to have to learn how to cooperate and work together with others to reach goals and "get the job done."  For instance, when they are getting ready for school in the morning, she needs to get ready so that everyone can leave on time, instead of playing around and making everyone late.  At six years old, it is time for Angie to begin to  learn some responsibility and accountability.  Many people might think that waiting that long is late, but I beg to differ.  She's a good, helpful kid, but now she needs to learn how be good and helpful INDEPENDENT of her parents or big sisters telling her to do so.  And besides, she's still SO little and cute.......LOL

 

I've gotta wash my hair soon.  It is such a chore! LOL  I also have to do the girls' hair again before we go to Austin next weekend.  We're still getting ready for Chicago in August.  I spoke to one of the reunion coordinators this morning. She sounds like a very nice lady!  She says that she is very excited that we are coming.  They have plans for the girls and everything.  This will be my third time going to Chicago.  It will definitely be interesting.  Matthew hasn't seen this side of his family before (his grandmother's side).  I hope they're going to have barbecue at the picnic! LOL
