A police car was behind me on my way to work this morning. We were stopped at a red light, and a car with the green light made a left turn in front of us. The lady driving the car was chatting away on her cell phone… Um, hello! That's not allowed anymore, lawbreaker!! I watched her as she crossed the intersection in front of me… I looked in the rear view mirror at the cops, and saw that they were looking at her too. They pulled around me, did a U-turn through the red light with their lights flashing, and they went after her! BAAhaaahaahahaha!
In other news, I'm wondering if I should dedicate my blog to documenting my kids' screw-ups during the school year. I know it would be much nicer of me to focus on all the positives, but, well... that would be kind of boring, wouldn't it? Aren't there enough parents who gush (bullshit) about their kids all the time? Then again, they might read this some day. And they really are good kids (most of the time), so it wouldn't be totally fair to constantly bash them, would it? Maybe I should recognize ALL of their successes, failures and massive errors in judgement just to be fair. It might go something like this:
The GOOD: I think DC might actually go today and get his school picture taken. He hasn't bothered for the past two years, and it's refreshing that he may actually be interested in anything school-related, even if it's just getting his picture taken for the year book. He also asked to be registered for a winter sport this year, which we did ($300!!!) without hesitation. JM is also registered for a winter sport ($460!!!!) that he did not request, but which I must insist upon, otherwise he will spend the entire winter glued to the PlayStation.
The BAD: On the 2nd day of school, DC's school called to say that he bugged out during class. I.E. he disappeared for no apparent reason, and had to be marked absent. His explanation? He thought he'd been kicked out, so he left. Hmmm... JM has been having his usual anxiety attacks about not knowing what is expected of him, where he's supposed to go, what he should be bringing. Did I create this? He's like me, only he is obvious about it, whereas I'm much smoother in masking insecurities.
The UGLY: A friend of CTK's says that DC has been "bugging" her in school to the point that it makes her cry. Her mother doesn't want to go to the principal, but I can only assume that she will if the situation continues. Bullying much? Like, how about suspension and/or charged with harassment? Stupid boy.
