There was a quote I saw on a church's board today. It said, "Don't fear tomorrow, God is already there." I liked it and I wanted to make sure I have it for future reference when I need it.

Are you SORRY it is over?
I see my weak little joke flew right over your pretty head.  Highly amusing on all counts for both parties. As a Canadian myself, I go back and forth between misunderstood for trying to be funny, and being mis-understood for being too earnest. Thanks for the chuckle.

I have been around MB commenting on other people's threads.
I also have been helping my friend get through her withdrawal from her own M(her DH is away for military training for 6 months). They are the couple I loaned HNHN to.
Yesterday, the boys had their last skating trip. I walked to the arena(remember no car) and was going to stay there to watch both DS7 and DS9 skate. They are in different groups. DS7 skates first. He had a bit of a meltdown as they were leaving. I tried to convince him to go with the school by telling him I was leaving. When I went back to check that he had gone, he HADN'T. He was still at the arena and everyone else had left. I was upset. I took him back to the school and then had to walk back to the arena. Talked to the principal, and let's just say I am actually angrier now than I was yesterday. I think I will talk to him again tomorrow.
This incident has kept my mind off of WH and POSOW. I found myself not thinking about them very much at all.
I started a blog. It is boring but expressive. I am just getting a "feel" for it. Really into my book. I am reading An Echo In The Bone, by Diana Gabaldon.
Anyone have a good funny joke that is post appropriate(or a link to one that isn't). I need a good LAUGH.

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party.
Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.
The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

MAN, what a frustrating day today. I received a phone call from DS7's school today. For the last 3 days, he has been sent to the principal's office. He is choosing not to listen to the teacher. Well, I know that it is partly due to his adjustment to what is happening at home. GEEZ WH and POSOW thought that it wouldn't affect the kids. Of course they still believe it, since I am DARK and they know NONE of this.
Today DS7 shot the bird to a grade 8 boy. That DID NOT go over well at all. I sat down with the resource teacher and the principal and we had a talk. I think that their approach to him just wasn't working. I asked them if we could be more CREATIVE. He is a "strong willed" child. The resource teacher said that she had a couple of run-ins with him earlier this year but she showed him that he couldn't get away with that, and she hasn't had a problem since. I felt better about the fact that they are going to try a new approach with him.
When I took him out of the school, he decided he wanted to go back in and listen to the teacher. It took us 45 minutes to get out of the school. It was very trying. He kept saying, "I want to be a good boy, I want to be smart. I want to learn." My responses to him were that he IS a good boy, he just sometimes does bad things. I also told him that he IS smart and that on Monday he can try again. We we will see what happens.
On the personal front, well I am still OKAY. OKAY is BETTER than NOT OKAY.
Here is something that is written on a bookmark that my friend gave me.
Don't Quit
Don't quit when the tide is lowest, For it's just about to turn.
Don't quit over doubts and questions, for there's something you may learn.
Don't quit when the night is darkest, for it's just a while til dawn;
Don't quit when you've run the farthest, for the race is almost run.
Don't quit when the hill is steepest, for your goal is almost nigh;
Don't quit, for you're not a failure UNTIL you fail to TRY.
Jill Wolf
I like it.

Request your IM's contact WH-DM (dorkusmaximus) and inform WH-DM that he needs to contact the school principal if he wants to be informed of the difficulties DS7 (precious boy) is experiencing at school.
WH-DM can then choose to ignore the message, or choose to get himself involved.
(I hope he does the latter)
YOU, stay completely out of the way.XOXO

Okay. I wasn't sure how to handle that one.
DS7 has now said he would like to go to some counseling. He wants to draw on the dry erase board(that's what DS9 did). I am going to make a phone call on Monday.
What message should I get IM's to send? What should it say? I know what I WANNA say, but that would be inappropriate.
Should it be, "WH, DS7 has had some difficulty in school. Please contact SCHOOL @ 905-555-5555 and speak to MR Principal about these difficulties."
The principal even said that he has had MINOR run-ins with DS7 in the past, but since they came back from Xmas break, he has become a regular in his office and he was at a loss about what to do. I hope Mr Principal lets WH know about this as well. The school is small and the principal knows me very well. Should I let him know that WH may call? The school and the teachers are WELL-AWARE of the current sitch at home.

Agree - IM's pass important info, and this certainly qualifies.
What did you say, Pep? XX instead of XOXO? I can see why that would be confusing; did you mean adult material, or dead cartoon-eyes?
XX

WH, your wife has asked us to let you know that DS has been sent to the principal's office the last three days in a row. The principal said he has had minor run-ins with DS in the past, but since they came back from Xmas break, DS has become a regular in the principal's office. The principal is at a loss what to do, and would welcome a dialogue with the parents.
Thanks,
IM
