August/Sept. 09

Well August is upon us, This means consignment time....Not just that but, the kids start their new school schedule. School supplies and teachers meetings. nobody is happy about ither or the kids...She wants them to stay home (why?? all she does is argue with them..).. He's (my son) has become her.. They both think exactly alike...Thats why they always yell and argue with eachother...I don't think I can change him, he's set in his ways now. What I have to do is teach him to control his patience and relax..
They started school and already my wife is complaining about how he teachers do things and how H1N1 is going to kill everyone. Why do i say this???? I'm sick, I think i got a cold or the flu from a 9 yr old I transported to the hospital and he coughed right in my face...Oh well, job hazard when you transport to the hospital..The 2nd day I was "officially" sick I had to go to the Doc, she called and made an appointment for me. The first thing I heard was do you do flu shots?? Then she saidi need to be tested for H1N1...... it was only a matter of time..i knew it!!! This thing is kicking my butt!!! fever,aches,coughing.. had to use 2 sick days..i hate using sick days when I'm actually sick (lol)..
2nd week of August,feeling better, able to get around and do things again. She shocked me, she actually told the kids that maybe we can go camping this weekend....Maybe!! She has never been, so this is a big deal.. She won't talk to me about it, everytime i bring it up she changes the subject. i finally had to tell her What are we doing???? i need to make reservations if we are going...Again she changed the subject..So I told her...look we (the kids and I) are going..If you want to go then great, if not you'll be mssed but, oh well.....She didn't like that and told me to make reservations for all of us...even the dog who was going to come with us, because it cost too much to board him..
3rd week of August.. Camping trip was fun, we had some issues and she didn't have as bad of a time as she thought she would..However, the kids got a bit out of control because they wanted to show mommy everything they knew about camping and didn't help me with getting things done. it was an overnight trip and she packed like it was a week long trip...but, we got her to go and she even mentioned that she may want to try it again...We'll see... The kids are inschool and homework is starting to come in..Of course the third week in and she has already said my son needs help, he's failing and he just doesn't get it.. I can't believe that we are already getting into this arguement. she wants to have him tested for learning disabilities..it's funny to watch though, My wife and my son are like 2 peas in a pod when it comes to thinking and how they go about things.. Homework takes them hours to do,because all they do is argue. he pushes those buttons on her and she starts to yell, then they'll go back and forth for 10 minutes before they just walk away from each...once things calm down they'll start all over again...Every school night is the same thing. Of course I can't say anything because I'm at work and I hear about it when Iget home.. On night shift, I get calls at work saying that she can't do it anymore..She says things like " I can't deal with him"..."I can't handle or control him anymore"... Granted he has been getting alot of homework,more than I think he should be getting,but, add that and the 2 of them.......he's doing school work from the time he gets home until pretty much when he has to go to bed....Of I get yelled at from her because I just don't know, I'm not at home, I don't hear everything that happens...She tries to make me feel bad by saying I'm never there for this...I will say last week was rough, his new teacher scheduled 5 quizzes on one day.. That totally stressed him out and nearly sent her to the nut farm.....
Fourth week of August, She is still complaining about his school work, she wants him tested because she says there is something wrong with him.. How do I tell her that it's not him...It's her??? She has no patience for just sitting there and letting him do his thing..She wants him to do it her way...She thinks things are so different from the way she did school work.. And because she knows it already he should know it. When he doesn't she gets mad, then he gets mad and BANG!!!!! another arguement.. She's also fed up with work again, she said that she wants to become or is thinking of becoming a teacher...ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!! She can't handle my son do you think she will be able to handle 22 more kids!!!.PLEASE!!!!! She made the kids go get their flu shots the other day, and already told them that when the H1N1 shot comes out no ands if or butts about it..They are getting it....
********* August 23rd...........She broke her record!!!! 4th "together time" this year....The last time we had 4 "together times" was 2003....I almost said something,but, stopped myself at the last minute..***************************
My daughter who has been keeping below the radar is just eating up this whole school thing and does what she is supposed to and is done with it. Then is off to play.....Soccer time has started again, I'm asst coach again..However, I haven't had time to go to many practices.. I will be coaching the first game...They are not going to like me, I will be moving people around. my daughter who averaged 3 goals a game last year has been placed on the back burner because their is another girl on the team that has a bullet for a leg...Unfortunatly, she hits the net 1 out of every 3rd try... My daughter hasn't had a chance to hit at the net in 2 practices, The coach is telling everyone to pass the ball to that girl...That's okay, my girl will shine once the ball is placed in play.. So I have no woories....If I can just get my wife to take her to practice..She didn't go because my wife said it was too hot.. and if she doesn't shoot the ball,then why waste her time????Well thats it for now, more later.....Still getting the calls from her at night when I'm at work about how she can't handle him and how he has a problem...I will fight her if she thinks she is going to have him tested for anything....He's upset because he thinks he is going to fail 4th grade now....GEE, I WONDER WHERE HE GOT THAT FROM????????????
Soccer went great..I coached our team to a victory!!! 14-1....It's getting arder and harder for me to write, she is always close by and wanting to get on the computer..
