TEACHER FROM HELL STRIKES AGAIN

Jessica had an incident at school today with the same teacher who has caused us misery for the last 2 years... the same one who gave her detention 3x in 3 weeks which led to her getting suspended.

I've had ENOUGH!

So Jessica called me today after school crying. I couldn't understand most of what she was saying. Apparently she had to go to the bathroom during this man's class (7th period - last period of the day) and he wouldn't let her go. Jessica thought she was starting her period (she'd die if she knew I put that on my blog!). She had her first period last month and was supposed to have already started this month and I told her to be on the look out. Well she asked Mr. G several times... each time explaining she had an emergency. He said no every time. FINALLY, Jessica did what I've told her to do ... I told her if she ever had an emergency and the teacher wouldn't let her go then to walk out and I'd deal with the teacher. Well she tried... he blocked the door and shoved her with her clipboard back. She waiting until a few minutes later when he was on the other side of the classroom and she darted out the door. When she came back inside he told her to get her stuff and go with him. He took her to the dean of discipline (whoo hooo). He told the dean what had happened... the bell rang and the dean said he'd deal with her later.

Well after I hung up with Jessica I called and got the principal on the phone. I had just met with both the dean and principal LAST monday about this same teacher!!!!! I was furious. I tried to be calm while talking to her but I was shaking! I said what I had to say and she listened. I told her that I was OVER HIM and that I didn't want her back in his classroom!!! I said this man needed to act like an ADULT! That I was tired of him pestering and bullying my child! I told her that I didn't care what buttons Jessica pushed of his that he was the adult and he needed to act like it. I said a lot... but I don't have time to tell you word for word. But she got my point. She said she was going to check into the incident. She said she'd talk to the teacher, dean and other kids in the classroom to see what happened. I told her that I didn't care what had happened in his classroom up until that point and that the minute Jessica told him she had an emergency he should have just given her the benefit of the doubt and let her go!!!!!!!!! She did suggest we have a conference with him and I said NO THANKS b/c I would tear him up! And that I wouldn't be nice!

Since then all these other things have come to mind... like what if she'd had diarrhea.... she would have crapped all over herself... I'd killed him! OMG! I'm pissed.

Question

Who do you have your car insurance with? We have ours with Alfa. I've had it with StateFarm but changed over b/c Alfa was cheaper. We pay monthly also... is it really cheaper to pay quarterly? Our renewal time is coming up and I was wondering if I needed to shop around. All of our insurance is through the same company and I kinda like it that way.

TONIGHT

I'm going to Sips N Strokes!!!

My pastor's wife is going with me. I'm sooooo excited!

My Rant

So before Jessica left for the cruise I talked to her grandparents about TWO important things...

1. Don't buy Jessica a bikini. She's not allowed to wear them.
I bought Jessica a bathing suit before she left. I approve what my child can and cannot wear. I have several reasons for being this way. You don't know what weirdo's are getting off by looking at your kids! I'd just rather her wear something that covers her. PERIOD!
Well last night I was washing her clothes and I found a.... BIKINI... not even a TANK kini (which she is allowed to wear upon my approval) but a real TINY bikini!!!!!!!! I asked her about it and she said her aunt had given it to her (not bought just passed down). I asked Jessica if she wore it and she said one day. I made her throw it away. She didn't seem to mind. But I was furious that this happened!!!!

2nd thing. I asked them (and talked to Jessica as well) not let Jessica go off by herself. Not b/c I don't trust Jessica but b/c too many things have happened lately in the news and I didn't want to be the next momma in the news. Well Jessica went to 'camps' at night for her age group - which is fine. But after these camps she was hanging out with friends WITHOUT an adult! And her grandfather made a point to tell me after the cruise that they 'let her do what she wanted and she didn't have a curfew' again... I was furious. I simply said to him... well thats exactly what I asked you not to do but its too late! He really pissed me off! It was like he was just saying it to let me know he didn't care what I had asked him not to do!!!!!

I swear... what is up with people knowingly going against what parents have set in place for their child!!!!!!!! Well it will be a cold day in HELL before she goes off with them again and I'll let them know exactly why too!

What a movie!

After reading on Crytal's blog about her cousin's hubby leaving for Iraq I was reminded of a movie we watched over the weekend. I think it was called Home of the Brave. Anyways the movie was about soldiers who were returning to life after Iraq. It was really heart breaking to me. I cried myself to sleep that night. I think many of us - including myself - forget there's American soldiers overseas serving while we're back at home doing our normal stuff. And when they come life is everything BUT normal to them. Please remember our troops and their families.

Warning

The following posts contain numerous pictures... please take the time to comment since I took the time to post!

Easter 2008
Saturday we spent the day remodeling... pics are after Easter stuff.
We were sooo busy Saturday that I didn't have time to prepare for Easter.
Our little ones have been running fevers back and forth between the three of them for several days now. Snotty noses and nasty coughs are pretty common around here.
We dyed eggs Sunday morning.
We gave up our pew Sunday for all the *sinners that show up only on Easter.
Easter Sunday our parents came to spend the day.






*I'm only kidding... please don't be offended!

Time to Hunt Eggs!

The boys weren't that interested in hunting eggs. My mom had put coins in some eggs and they liked those b/c they made noise.

All three of them would give each other eggs... is was very sweet.

Here's Jacob and Darcy trading eggs. Jessica didn't hunt eggs... just helped the little ones.

Easter Eggs!!!

We dyed eggs on Sunday morning this year! Thats a first... and a last!

Darcy loves eggs!

She did alright... she loved the stickers

Jessica probably wouldn't admit it to anyone but she loves to dye eggs too!

We put the boys down for a nap... maybe next year they can help.
