Stuff n Thangs
Well, I've been kinda focused on school and our activities here lately and now add the move in there and well, the blog gets thrown by the wayside *sigh*
So anyway, just a wee update on things...
I'm about to start my very last quarter of college in October. I'm very disappointed to find out that it will be online - as these online classes leave a lot to be desired and certainly DO NOT TEACH ANYTHING! Of course, I've been complaining for quite sometime that even my on-ground courses have not been teaching for the last two years. It's rather disappointing. And you wonder why our police forces and criminal justice system are filled with idiots - now you know, it's because the educational system stinks! Ok, mini-rant over ....
Christian just turned 16 and was running cross-country but has quit because he didn't have time to keep his grades up. I'll keep my opinions and comments on that to myself. Feel free to comment to me all you want about it though.
Toree of course has been a JV cheerleader here at the local high school. The original intent was to allow her to finish out the seasons and then move but she is more than happy to quit due to moving and move now. Considering the team and coaching staff, I can't blame her one iota! I'd quit too if I had a legitimate excuse that wouldn't hurt me later on down the road. Now she can try out at her new school (where Hunter attends and is Quarterback for the football team) and be done with the antics of her squad now. (((One of her cheer mates decided to bring tequila to class and have 4 shots in class where she got drunk and started puking. Nice job there numbskull. This is the type of behavior we commonly put up with here in this neck of the woods.)))
Madison is actually looking forward to moving even though she was the most emotional about it. She asked me yesterday why couldn't we just start school and stuff there now instead of waiting two weeks. It was sweet. She has reason to look forward to moving ... a new ballet school in which she didn't think she would want to attend at first. Saturday after soccer she had auditions for Nutcracker which is performed at South's auditorium instead of the Gwinnett Performing Arts Theatre. From what I can tell, it is just as swanky as GBT's. Also we learned that this school doesn't just accept anybody off the street into classes like GBT but you must audition to be accepted into the school. Madison was accepted because she has great potential but it has been discovered that she has not been being taught correctly nor as thoroughly as she should have been up to this point. She completely understood and accepted that she will be in a younger class until she can catch up to the girls her age. She told me that she thinks it will be good for her. For now soccer will remain here with Paul. Until soccer season is over he will be getting the kids every Friday night and I will be getting them every Saturday night, so that they may finish out the soccer season ... practice is Friday nights and games Saturday mornings and afternoons, so this will work out alright. After that we will go to every other weekend once again. OH I know I put it in Madi's blog but she scored the first goal of the season for her team on Saturday! Very exciting stuff!
Bailey is playing soccer and doing gymnastics this year. He didn't play on Saturday as his first game is next week. He just started gymnastics where Morgan Haley takes and is loving it. So I'm trying to get the gym where we are moving to give me solid answers to get them signed up there. Bailey shouldn't be an issue but Morgan Haley may be... more on that in a minute. Bailey is sort of looking forward to moving ... well, more like he has accepted it. He told Connie he doesn't want to move but he guesses he will.
Morgan Haley is in gymnastics of course and on the team. Now I have to get the other gym to test her and see if they will accept her onto their pre-team. As long as they take her then all will be well! Otherwise she is enjoying Kindergarten. She started out in one class and then was moved to another class - which turns out to be the class we wanted her in in the first place, Bailey's former teacher! Yippee! Too bad it was for only three weeks :-(
I am really looking forward to the new school system we are going into. It just seems so much more friendly than the one we are in right now. I don't feel like I'm going to have to fight to get things done at this school like I do our current one. That will be a relief. OH and the number one language at this school is actually ENGLISH!!! What a change for us!!!!
