What my bed looks like when K is not home.K comes home tomorrow and I can not wait. Neither can the kids. It's tough when he's gone. I wouldn't do very well as a single parent.
Here is my make up picture of Z on the second day of school.
Z-6th grade
The kids came home a little less energetic today. The days are really long and they aren't used to so many rules. Z, J and S all have teachers who yell alot and throw things at the students so I'm trying not to freak out over that. Is that something that is normal? I'll try it out for a couple more days. Then figure out what my options are. A has a wonderful teacher though.
Some older boys on the bus asked Z if he liked girls . Of course he gave the answer that his mother taught him which is "No way! Girls are gross!" Now he is trying to figure out how to get out of that mess as now no one wants much to do with him except to tease him. I am quickly remembering why I hated riding the school bus. He wants to try it again tomorrow though. I'm once again trying to not over react. I'm open to any suggestions on this one.
As I was headed to bed tonight, I went into my bathroom and there are some things that surprise me enough that I have to struggle to bite my tongue. 
Obviously we will be going to the hair salon tomorrow! The thing that throws me off is that this is a lot of hair and it is long. How did I not notice that someone just scalped them self?

Laurie, your kids look great. Your are doing a great job. I am sure not ready for all that stuff yet. My suggestion: One day at a time. Good Luck.
I remember getting teased, but I also remembering it affect my Mom alot more than me. I am almost sad for my kids to go to school. I feel the need to completely control their enviroment. Is that healthy??? Every experience is a learning one there are many I am glad I experienced both good and bad.
Times have changed, haven't they? So sad that there is a more concerning alternative for preeteen boys
than liking girls.
Who did the haircut? I want a picture!
Hang in there, it's always worse when your husband is out of town!! I love staying in touch with you guys!!
ha ha! sorry i am laughing at the pile of hair!
As for poor Zach... I hate bullies. Where I come from Northern CA, and someone asks you that, it's for real...I went to school with a lot of gay and lesbian kids. Maybe he should say he likes them but he's not really into girls right now...because he is focusing on soccer or whatever...why is it any of these dumb bullies business anyway??? Other kids can be so cruel. That's all the advice I can really think of. I am sorry he has to deal with them. keep me posted on what you do, I want to know how other moms hadle things like this for when it happens to my kids.
