Weekend Update



Thanks for listening to me b*tch the other day. Feeling a lot better now. I ended up talking with the principal, school secretary and T's teacher. Apparently the state is now requiring these letters and it's more protocol then anything else. They bang out a whole batch of these letters a few times a year and out they go. I am still pissed the principal didn't say anything to me at our meeting. She could have phoned or email me too. Just didn't like that at all. They have had soo many parents upset over this so I can imagine they don't like sending them out very much either. I think it's crazy that the policy is so narrow and not meant for pupils with serious delinquency issues. I found out that one of the teachers at the school put in for vacation and notified the school(where her child also attended) that they would be on vacation for a week. Guess what! They got one too (rolling eyes). It's so ridiculous. Ok, moving on...Thanks for all of your kind words and appreciate the moral support.

We went to Lake Tahoe last weekend with some friends of ours and their daughter over the weekend. The guys went snowboarding and we got massages :-) Had fun with the kiddos playing in the snow and hanging out. We got about 2 feet of new snow while we were up there and it was just gorgeous. I didn't get a chance to take any pics of the lake itself but it's amazing. I found some pics online so you can get the idea. I LOVE Tahoe and the beauty of the lake and mountains takes my breath every time I go there. It's about a 4 hour drive from here and I wish we went more often. I will post pics of trip tomorrow night. They are still loading on my computer and it takes foorrevverr.

Stuff like that makes me CRAZY!!!! THEY ARE YOUR KIDS! They do not belong to a school. ARRRGGGHH! You have the right to pull them out all together and home school them with no problem but don't you DARE take them on a family vacation. It's all about money. The school gets paid by the days they attend. Sorry for the rant. I just get SOO annoyed when people try to tell great parents what they can and can not do with your children. I have no doubt that your babies learned far greater things on that family trip than they would have in school those days. :0) Hugs, Angel
