I'm finally coming out...

As a trying vegetarian, I've decided that I no longer have the want to eat meat. although its hard to change from being a carnivore all your life, to a vegetarian, I am sincerely trying. I might still eat eggs...I did today i know that much lol
I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. Don't get me wrong...I will not ever judge someones right to eat meat, ever. That would make me a hypocrite cuz i've eaten it all my life. I just know that for now, it is the right decision for me. I will continue to cook meat for my family if they so demand it, but i will not like it. I've had veggie burgers, they are friggin delicious lol I think I can manage this, I'll keep you updated lol

Lifemare...

...Like a nightmare, only REAL.


 My Lifemare comes in the form of MIL, and seriously if you have one, you know what that means.
Everyday of my lifemare, I have to be prepared for a fight. Not a fist fight or a verbal fight, but a fight to defend MY rights as a mother. Standing your ground to someone who has always asserted herself as a co-parent is difficult. She thinks she has a say to what goes on. She thinks its ok to let im off with the things that make him a bad person. I however, do not. Time outs are a regular punishment in this house for my son, we don't spank. So I don't think its any of her business when I put him in time out for being a little jerk and be questioned about it. Don't get me wrong, I love my son completely, best lil thing to happen to me ever! But I'm not afraid to call it like I see it. He punches the dog. flies into fits over nothing, decides he can tell me what to do. So i'm not afraid to call him a little jerk under my breath sometimes. Anyway, my point of blog is this...do not let your MIL dictate your life and the life you have planned out for your kids. She has no right  to tell you how you should raise your child/children. Anyone out there with the same issue, we need to unite against our evil MILs and save the world.  there, nuff said.

The time for a movement

Okay, who else has this issue...a child that sits on the toilet having a poop for over an hour?? I DO!! I don't understand why it takes men and children so long to do their business. I dread every morning that my kid is going to stop and run to the bathroom 5 minutes before he needs to get out to the bus. My puppy is much easier to deal with (poop-wise) she goes outside, does her business, and that's the end of it.  Not a long blog but hey i might come back later.

Long story short...

Okay, let me tell you about my day.
First it started out with getting up at 6am with a little boy who thought he had to get ready for school but he didn't , there were parent teacher conferences and therefore...no school.
So we first went up to co-op after first stopping at burger king for breakfast on the go, we got hubby a pair of winter boots (badly needed) and a pair of sneakers (also badly needed) There was some minor bickering about time restraints but we made it out alive.
Then came the parent teacher conference thingy. My kid's teacher pushed the fact that she didnt think he was old enough to be in school yet. (we could of held him back another year because he just turned  5 in october) She said he was acting like a four year old. I wanted to be like, didn't you go to school for this kind of thing to be good with kids of all specifications. My kid is hyper as shit and he tends to block out any sort of authority. I'm pretty sure I just described every child ages 2-16. So anywho, we talked it out, asked for my secret, and was surprised when i told her I didn't have one...I still don't really know how to handle him to be honest. So we chatted and left.
After that we booted it up the hill to futureshop, because i broke my third camera. *facepalm*
I needed one to replace mine until we could get my sony fixed, so I opted for a cheap canon. its pretty wicked actually, i love it. (watch out sony, you may have a traitor on your hands) So we picked up that...(I should add that all the while my son is acting like a 2 year old having a fit) he was good at first but oi vey. anywho we left there, picked up some Wendy's and came home.
turns out our order was completely wrong, but we ate it. After the hubby left for work, I tried to put the kid down for a much much needed nap. GUESS WHAT?? He wasn't having ANY of that noise!
So he was a complete grump all morning, all day. I took him and the pup outside for a bit to play, then inside for some hot soup for supper which took my son and ahour and a half to eat. then, hit the sack. And here I am, drinking a tall glass of spiced rum n coke, thinking happy thoughts...or trying to. it was a messy day with lots of squabbles and fits and guilt trips and im ready for bed lol

School Troubles

So I talked to my son's kindergarten teacher for the first time today, we will call her Mrs.B.
So when I was talking to Mrs.B she made it very clear that she thought my son was too young for school (he just turned 5 in october) We had the option of holding him back a year but he is an only child at the moment and we live out of town so there aren't many kids to play with. He is super intelligent and I just could not fulfill his need to learn. We did activities and things but i didn't really know how to keep him occupied for long periods of time. She pressed really hard today that he was really too young to be there but if  I supported him, she would too. Shouldn't she be supporting him anyway? She is telling me is lunches are too bland. Well excuse me! it is my  first time being a mom of a kid in school. I give him healthy lunches, if I sent him with chocolate he'd be bouncing off of the walls, my kid CANNOT handle chocolate, he goes nuts on the stuff. Mrs. B also stated that he doesn't listen to her, I just wanted to scoff and say, WELCOME TO MY WORLD! Truth is, she doesn't understand that is a naturally hyperactive child and has no ability to sit still for long periods of time...that is what she is there for...to teach him that stuff. Maybe I'm being naive but seriously, I wrought with so much stress I can't think straight and I do what I can to try and teach my son to listen and to behave in school. I understand that she has 16 other kids, maybe she needs a teacher's aid. I know in preschool his last teacher he had was firm with him and didn't let him get away with that nonsense and he listened to her. She had ten other students. It's not 16 but still the point is relavent. Tommorow is our parent / teacher meeting with her so we will see how it goes then, hopefully sdhe won't lecture me on how he is too young to be in school again.
