Back to School Woes

As the end of the 2nd week back to school comes to an end I can finally relax a little bit.

The first day last week was horrible. I got my little one over to his new sitter for in the mornings and that all went well. Then come that afternoon terror hit. My oldest is waiting for my little one to get off the bus and he was not on the bus. He got on the bus and checked it over asking wheres my brother. No one could give him an answer.
He runs down the street to see if he got off at the new sitters house and nope he wasn't there either.
I in the mean time am calling school in hysterics wanting to know where my child is.
First I get put on hold they ask his teacher and she says her paperwork shows him as a car rider. Which I immediately am like "WHAT!!!! NO HE IS NOT" They call the teachers taking care of car riders and tell me he got in a van. I am going nuts by this point like WTF is wrong with these people. I'm ready to hop in my car and fly the 50 miles to home. After a few more mins on hold they tell me ok ok we have him, he is here in the office. And I get my one neighbor to take my oldest up to pick him up.

So of course after this chaos I write a stern letter to his teacher demanding to find out what happened and am told he was wrote on the list of car riders saying he would be picked up by a blue car to ride home with his Nana.
Um NO!! I wrote he would be a bus rider on all paper work sent back to the school there is no way in hell I wrote that and my mother doesn't drive a blue car.

I really should have gone to the school and raised hell over this but have not had time. It just freaks me out to think why something like that would have been wrote. Was someone trying to take my kid? I just don't know. SIGH

On the other hand my oldest is having a pretty good start to High School so YAY lol

Back to Pencils, Back to Books, Back to Teachers Dirty Looks

Back to School is right around the corner for my kiddos, and it just caught up to me that we are in fact in August and I decided to look at the High School's website and come to find out my son is expected to come pick up his schedule this Sat. Its a damn good thing I looked otherwise we would have never known. You would think they would send something in the mail for at least the freshmen so they are not so lost over this new process.

I had no idea he had a reading list of 17 books for this summer so of course he hasn't read a damn thing sigh.

So now I'm feeling like High School is off to a real bang before he has even walked through those doors into High School :|

I'm terrified that 9th grade is gonna eat him alive. He is a great kid but he slacks ALOT and I just don't think he is gonna find his niche where his slacking is gonna work out for him this year.

Now my other concern my little one he is going into 1st Grade and we had such issues with behavior out of him for Kindergarten and I'm afraid it is gonna continue because we have not had a very good summer of getting him to straighten out at all.

And now of course on top of all that OMG school shopping AGGGH and we are behind on bills so I can see this not working out so well sigh.

Ah well so is my life,
