Holy sheep shit batman what a day!
- "The Oldest" finally went back to school after missing 5 days (would have been 7 if it hadn't been for labor day!)
- "Peacekeeper" and "Wild Thing" got their yellow belts in Karate today! (They are kicking it Crane Style now!)
- I got called to "Drama Rama's" school and of course expected the worst!
- Hubby informed me that it had been 45 days since we had sex (no wonder we were both hateful, sour, bitchy people!)
- My brother (The Oldest and Drama Rama's sperm donor) called my mother to ask if she thought it would be OK for him to file the kids on his taxes at the end of the year!
"The Oldest" missed 1 day due to us having to make a fast dash trip to Oklahoma to get his birth certificate and Indian ID # (CIB #), 1.5 days from heat exhaustion, and the rest from having some nut case stomach virus that he got from his incubator while we were in Oklahoma. Took him to the doctor - and the doctor said it's been going around and that he could be "sickly" for up to 3 weeks (Dr's son was out of school from Aug 28th til Sept 11!!!!!) but we got his physical done for basketball while we were there and we got all the legal stuff taken care of, and it was nice to spend some time with just him (even though we had 12 hours in the car together to bond!
But for all you other Moms out there - you know what comes with absents - MAKE UP WORK! He has a SHIT TON - and most of it is due Monday. Plus his homework on top of that - and turns out he is the most unorganized kid I've ever seen - has binders for every class and LITERALLY NOTHING IN THEM! I sat down in the living room floor going through the "stuffed papers" that were in his backpack and sports bag while him and Babe tried to make way through the make up work and figure out what was make up work and what was homework due tomorrow - we never did come to that conclusion for sure! Come to find out - the kid has NEVER used binders and kept up with his work - so he has no idea how - um WTF he's 16. So a new lesson for him and I told him that had he been with us his whole life, or even half of it - he'd so be grounded!!! But hopefully we can get this all figured out and fixed soon! He's going to have to go to tutoring because well lets face it - Mine and Babes 10 year class reunion is this year - and so much shit has changed we have no idea what we are doing!!! I now understand how my parents felt when they "helped" me with my homework.
The best most awesome thing of my day was going and seeing "Peace Keeper and Wild Thing" get their yellow belts today - They practice the Crane art of Shorin-Ryu :) I posted a picture on facebook if your interested in seeing :) It was so freakin awesome. Babe and I got called out to do a demonstration (the Chief of Police is the Master- and he only has 1 arm ) - ex MIL took pictures - hoping she posts/emails them soon so I can upload them on my pages as well - cus it should be interesting - I literally felt like Babe was pulling my hair off my head - we were doing a defense demonstration - - OUCH is all I've got to say about that! I am so very proud of the boys! They worked so hard, practiced on each other - with each other and were very encouraging to each other. I like that they are able to do this together! The odd age gap has kept them from being team mates time and time again so this is awesome to see - I know at some point they are going to have to fight each other in the ring but well - its not here YET. I'm excited about ordering them personalized belt hangers too!!
The school called today - (Drama Rama goes to a different school than the other kids because of personal choices she made, and consequences that were created for those said choices.) I panicked - took "Leggs" to my Mom - and headed out to find out WTF - thank God I was already dressed for the "belt test" -- Thank God it wasn't as big of a deal as I had made it out in my head - (ie - beatings, destruction, fights, broken bones, ran away etc etc) - There was a parent teacher meeting Monday - Open House - and since I wasn't there they were calling me in to find out why - why Drama Rama had changed residences - and to give me her online portal code to check her grades online!!! Well I was pissed about not even being TOLD about Open House - of course all she could say was "Sorry, it wasn't mandatory, so I didn't think it was important" (But the new Cyber Cafe *coffee shop on campus* is opening tomorrow and she thought I'd care about that and the 1.00 coffee/hot coca! - REALLY?!?) But hey at least it wasn't all those things I thought in my head it was! Her grades suck - which I figured - she's the most NONE DRIVEN KID I have ever seen, and I'm not sure wtf to do about it - even 2 different therapists have answered me with ???? "nothing seems to work". We made her join student council and UIL since she dropped guitar lessons and refuses to participate in sports or athletics of any kind - and the schools in our area don't have art class (which is TOTALLY her thing, and she's amazing at it)
45 freakin days? Who the hell even counts that high? He said (and I quote) "Honey, it's a man thing, we just keep up with shit like that", obviously! But you have no idea if you have clean clothes or whats in the fridge to eat without my help LOL. I knew it had been "a while" but not THAT freakin long - so we tried to remember back if we had EVER gone that long without sex - and came to realize NO (not even when he was out of town working or after I had any of the kids!) But, it was also a very big eye opener for the both of us - our life has NEVER been this CRAZY, HECTIC, CHAOTIC - and that maybe we weren't dealing as well with it as we thought. So it put some things - like personal time, and "adult time" into perspective and made us realize how much we really do need each other and that even if we weren't being "rabbits" anymore (mind you we are both 28!) we still connect on way more levels than just sex. And that was pretty rewarding to know! *T/M/I here - we fixed the whole 45 days of celibacy thing!*
I'm still having a horrible time dealing with my "brother" and his choices and which I think are totally stupid and unethical! I have a sense of entitlement because I *AM* raising his two oldest children - his daughter I've raised off and on her entire life so this shouldn't be "new" to me anymore - but well it's always a new day around here! I don't think he has the right to claim them on his taxes - 1 "The Oldest" has lived longer with me than he did with his "Father" and so that is TOTALLY out - he doesn't even have access to his social security card or birth certificate because he has no legal documentation that he is even RELATED to him - I on the other hand have a full, irrevocable "Power Of Attorney" until he turns 18. And I like how he didn't have the balls to call ME and ask ME what I thought - he called our Mom! Chicken Shit! He knew I would blow a head gasket - and well, I am! Since July, he has given them $100 spending money to slit - and $100 each for school clothes and school supplies. (Totaling $300.00) Umm, hello jack ass - show me how you can buy 2 teenagers school supplies and school clothes for $100 each?!? I spent that on their school supplies alone!!! ***Breathe women - Breathe *** I should probably seek therapy!
