School Drama is Back!

It's been building for Jacob since the new semester started.  He didn't want to change teachers in TAG.  There are 2 teachers.  They each teach 1/2 of a semester.  He loved the first teacher and didn't change.  No, he didn't hear anything bad about the other teacher.  Yes, he thought she was probably nice.  Yes, the kids who had her the 1st semester liked her.   Of course, it went fine, and he loves this TAG teacher just as much as the other.

Then we had our extended Snow Day (which turned in to a week - in case you forgot).  It was really hard with Jacob going back to school.  He started in again with "why do kids not have any Rights?" and "why do parents get to make all the rules?"  and "home come kids can't do anything they want to do?".  It's gotten a little worse each week. 

But - now that he really has some homework due - a book report Thursday, the Hypothesis to his Science Project on Wednesday, and the American Revolution Test on Friday - we had the BIG MELTDOWN today.  From the second I picked him up until after I had the Mom version of the "come to Jesus" talk.  I mean - we even had BIG, Jacob size tears that went all over his homework.

Ugh!  Matthew is right!  They need to just do what we tell them and keep quiet.

Went to the doctor today for my first physical in a long time.  No offense to other family members who are enjoying their age - but this getting old is really not a lot of fun.  I am too young to be getting old!

Here is Jacob after the attitude change working on the book report:

Here is Layne - looking like Cousin It - playing with the microphone:  (man I can't wait until her hair is long enough to donate to Locks of Love - it is driving me crazy!!!!!)

Here is Joshua playing with his Leapster - it is the perfect Nintendo DS and he is having a lot of fun with it right now:

I think we have survived to make it to another day.



Happy Birthday Grandmom / Mom / Susan from all the Atlanta Ganotes - we love you and miss you!!!!
