Weighing In and Hot Water
YES, my hot water died AGAIN! Ugh, good news though we got a replacement for free YEAH. That little warranty paperwork that came with the original one we bought. Apparently I filled that out and sent it in. And boy did that pay off! So yes, after three days, we have HOT water :)
Weighing in… I did this task – I lost 6lbs GO ME – 222lbs 22 more to go, trust me this is not easy, I’m so sore. And I will NOT lie, I’m hungry but its all good.

School Rules and One Ways?
Tuesday night I get home from work to receive a letter from my son’s second grade teacher explaining that the childrens' behavior has basically been out of control. They are talking to much, not getting their work done, disrupting others, etc. The best part of the letter was a remark she made about when the children arrive in the morning they are suppose to get started right away on their work. Well, here’s my thought the bell rings at 7:20, school technically does NOT start until 7:40. So I was a little upset because I know my son McKinlee is definitely part of those talking and disrupting others. So we had a talk all is good right? Wrong!
So Wednesday morning McKinlee and I are waiting in the designated drop off line at school and well here is the letter that I sent to the Board of Education yesterday late morning. This will explain A LOT.
Dear Sir or Madam:
I have a child in the second grade that attends Shadybrook Elementary School located in a residential area of High Point. The parking lot is set up with one entrance and one exit. However, in the beginning of the school there were drivers that would constantly enter the exit. There were multiple letters sent home to the parents regarding the traffic pattern and since then there has not been an issue, until today. When the bell rang at 7:20, my child exited my vehicle at the designated drop off location. I proceeded to leave the parking lot in the correct traffic pattern directed by the school official (Mr. Foster), upon reaching the exit I see a mini van trying to enter where there are two exit lanes both with cars trying to leave, the driver continued to try to come in the exit. When I got to the end of exit where it meets the street I rolled my window down pointing the sign out to the women in the mini van that this was an exit only... big sign says "DO NOT ENTER." The lady in the mini van rolls her window and the following occurred:
Lady in Van: "What?"
Myself: "This is exit only, see the sign "DO NOT ENTER!" (pointing to the sign)
Lady in Van: "Not for me" (with a giggle)
Myself: "Oh really not for you?" (I pulled away)
The lady in the van, Ms. Barefoot, a second grade teacher at Shadybrook Elementary and my son's second grade teacher.
Why is this acceptable? and better yet Why was she not at school before the bell rang?
I look forward to your response and insight on this matter.
I will also be calling Mr. Foster to file a complaint with the school as well. I would hope that this situation gets handle promptly seeing that there could have been a very serious accident this morning because a teacher does not have to follow the rules, but parents/children do.
Thank you!
So as you can read, I was NOT a happy person. I was very angry needless to say but as I go back to my statement above. Drop off is 7:20, my son is already on his was to class where according to the letter his teacher sent the children are to start their work IMMEDIATELY, right? Well, I’m sorry if the bell as rang and she is still not at school yet, why my son along with the rest of his class is being reprimanded for not working when she is not even there. I’m thinking her being tardy to work is an issue all on its own. I’m just saying!?!?

Better Late Then NEVER!
Since I am so far behind I am going to go backwards just a few steps. We spent Thanksgiving 2009 in New Jersey. While there we stayed at Angie and Dennis’ mostly. A couple days with my Steve and Sandi as well. We tried to see everyone but that was not as successful as I had hoped it would have been. We did get to take the kids in NYC. So much fun! When walked out of Madison Square Garden into the streets of NYC, McKinlee’s face was, well, priceless just priceless.
Learning to Ride
McKinlee received a two wheeler for Christmas NO training wheels... AND the learning experience began! He started off wobbly but he finally got.
A Little of This and a Little of That
Happy New Year Everyone! I first want to apologize for not being around BUT life has thrown myself and my family some serious curve balls this year, my blog unfortunately has been neglected because of it.
So much is going on so I will probably break this VERY big blog into a bunch of little blogs.
Sound good, GREAT…
Let’s start with me and the hubby. Well as most of you are aware the hubby lost his job about two weeks before Christmas – they fired him! And of course because he was “fired” unemployment has not been fruitful as of yet. Yes you heard me correctly NO unemployment. So we are for right now surviving off my income. He looks everyday for a job and applies everywhere, but NO call backs, hopefully soon. I will be honest though I like having him home with the kids and I also get a warm meal when I get home its GREAT. And that does mean in a weird way he is Mr. Mom and I will say he is doing an awesome job at it too.
As for me, well November 29th marked my 5th year at Tanger and well I got a promotion, woohoo! Go ME! I was very shocked, but was so excited. I definitely feel like I deserved it, I know that sounds a little ego driven but seriously I think I work my tail off and it paid off. Also, now that we are in 2010 and I have hit my 5 year marker. I get 3 weeks vacation, I LOVE it! I am so excited!
So with the promotion I am keeping my family a float.
Moving on…
The boys had wonderful Christmas’ If you ask McKinlee he didn’t have the best Christmas because he didn’t get everything he had asked for. See McKinlee asked Santa for a Nintendo DSi and well he currently has a Nintendo DS the DSi unit you can take pictures and connect to the internet. Hence he is 7 he does not need to connect to the internet nor does he another Nintendo DS So Santa did not bring one. I tried to explain to him in advance that he wasn’t going to get one and that Santa has a lot of presents to buy and you can’t always get everything you ask for but he didn’t understand or doesn’t want to understand that. Not sure which. As you can see from the picture he got a lot. His pile is on the left.
Maddock loved everything especially his bike, definitely his favorite item. He rides it all the time even around the house… the poor dogs.
