Today Rhett came home with a "pink slip". He had a check mark next to 2 items.
1. Disruptive behavior during class/circle time.
2. Trouble keeping hands to himself.
He had to miss recess. Next pink slip means a conference with the parents, teacher and child. I'm praying there's not a next time.
Just when I thought Rhett was getting over some of this behavioral stuff... I love him so much, but sometimes being a Mom is just SO hard.
We went to Sonic for happy hour after school because I had some errands to run and while driving down the road in after-school-Springdale-traffic, which I hate (almost as much as going-to-work-Springdale-traffic and after-work-Springdale-traffic) apparently Rhett didn't like something Braden said, and spit lime slush at him thru the straw. From the middle seat to the front seat. Lovely. This happened right after I tried to take a drink of my Rt. 44 Diet Coke and the not-on-all-the-way lid came off, the cup ripped and it made a huge mess and left me soaked, the console sticky and 3/4 of an inch of liquid in my cup holder. Praise the Lord I held it together and didn't get in a wreck.... Just like this morning after I dropped the boys off at school. I was driving down the road, talking to Jason on the phone and felt something creepy crawly on my leg. I looked down and it was a nickel-sized bug/spider thingy. I did the best I could to get it off me and keep it off me, all while making it to my parking spot at the apartment and talking to Jason except for the last 15 seconds in which I deemed it unsafe to be on the phone any longer. (Ya think?!) I found the buggy-thing and promptly sent it to it's final resting place with my shoe.I couldn't figure out exactly what it was. I've never seen anything like it. So gross. Praise the Lord I didn't get in a wreck.
I need a massage, a manicure, a pedicure, a new hair cut and whatever else I could pile into a day at the spa. If only it wouldn't cost a gazillion dollars to do all that, I'd be all over it. Maybe I'd settle for a DAY OFF.
On a happy note, my 3rd cell phone in 6 months pooped out on me last weekend and I finally got the replacement phone in the mail and got it all hooked up today. I am so glad to have a phone that works! For today anyway...
Lord help me.
