1. Awww...
:hug:

I think it is the day for kids to be brats. BabyG was inconsolable most of the day. For no reason.

I hope your evening goes better.

5. You too?

Hopefully I can dump him on his Dad and finish my back-to-school clothes shopping without too much screaming.

8. I dumped mine on his dad...and the other one is over at her
friend's house so there is peace here, for at least a little bit. I HATE back to school shopping. I feel for you.

30. He was still sad-like after you left...
As he should be, for everyone knows how important it is to have hair on one's head. :D

13. He doesn't go to school, but I do this year.
We got the last of my books and stopped at the thrift store to get me some clothes. I'll try to have a more productive shopping trip if he goes to his father's tonight.

14. Thank you!
He's getting better about acting out in public but he gets overstimulated and had a long day yesterday. I think he needs a quiet day at home to reset. I'll see about doing that tommorrow.

12. LeftyKid needs to
lawyer up. I'm not liking your tone, here. The internets are NOT the place to post ill things about others without proof. "Brat" indeed...

I kid. Sorry you had a craptastic day, love. Hope you at least got a chuckle from my stupidity here. If not from this post, look around...there's more.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

18. I think LK needs a Court Appointed Special Advocate at this point
and it Just So Happens that I *am* one..



Just kidding, LM. I have three and at least one of the sucks every day. Tonight it's the 10yo's turn to be a major PITA. She wants to set the tent up in the backyard so she and her friends can sleep out, and the fact that it is storming doesn't matter.

Nor, apparently, does the fact that several houses in the neighborhood have been targeted by burglars in the last few days.

23. "So glad WE know you?" Does that mean I get to be Best Man?
Can't say I'd mind that at all.

I'm going to fold up laundry and eat dinner, then see about getting him to his Dad's. He's reading right now and being pretty quiet.

33. How about some empathy
To go along with the sympathy?

:hug:

I took all four of mine shopping for school clothes and school supplies today. Now I remember why I prefer to go by myself. I go by myself, everyone's perfectly happy with what I bring home for them. I take them with me, and no one likes anything.

Never again.

36. He doesn't go to school, so we were getting stuff for me.
It was a nightmare. He's about to be his Dad's problem, so of course he's being an angel now. :eyes:

37. Give Leftykid a hug. Let him know you love him even when bad.
I'm sure you do. You sound like a good and caring mom. LF is blessed with you as a mom.

My best to you in school this Fall. What courses will you be taking? You are one amazing lady. I don't know how you women juggle all of life's challenges. Men have it so easy!
