*is almost, pretty sure, she’s really asleep*

*tries to form coherent thoughts* It’s been along day.

To bed at 1 or 2 am…I can’t remember which…Woke a couple times, went back to sleep…Up at 6:10 am to get Critters off…Which meant yelling at Sonja who took 10 min. in the bathroom to hurry up and find her clothes (which she was suppose to do the night before, and neglected to do so completely), so I could get her hair combed, and she could be ready for the bus on time. This ended up with me screaming ‘headlights, get a move on’…As she ran back to the bathroom to retrieve Padfoot from where she left him, so she could take him to school. A couple minutes after 6:30, and I’m curled up, ready for the rest of my sleep. Phone rings at 8:30 am…*looks at caller ID* *sees blocked call* *lets machine pick it up* Blocked call means the school…This I know. Harley’s teacher…She leaves a message on the machine requesting I come get him…They want me to keep him home tomorrow…And they want me to return with him on Monday. This is doing no good. *rolls eyes* On way to school I try to figure out where else I can send him. There is no bloody way he’s going to Mancelona school…[Forgot Concord Academy…But they don’t have busing…Which means getting out everyday, no matter the weather…Which means needing a good reliable 4×4 on hand…Let’s face it, I need one of them anyway…Still, Concord just seems…I don’t know…*pokes at it*]

Upon getting to the school, I find out that Harley didn’t like the fact that the girl putting up the weather for today got it wrong, saying it was snowing instead of raining…So he slugged her! *headdesk*
Anyway, aside from that…Got Harley home and I dug out workbooks that I had for PreSchool and Kindergarten. He did page after page after page…With no complaint, and sitting at the table, calm as can be. He did more work today than they do all week! This done between 9 am and Noon! (Which also included a break for snack, and a half hour break.) [And I actually liked telling him what he was to do, and having him do it like that. -Had brief thought of home schooling…but 1) I could never keep him on track…I know this. & 2) I will be in school myself next year, so it just won’t work. Mum too mentioned that I was really good with him and it after she got home and we were still working on stuff.]

Had eye appointment. Got very breathable contacts. Not the most breathable, but the next one down. I’m trying them out for a week, and seeing what’s what. The lady told me that I should change solutions, as the Equate version sometimes leaves residue on the lenses. [Loverly. *rolls eyes*]

Picked up a K-1st grade workbook today…Which is what Harley will be working on tomorrow…Hopefully…If I can get myself to making him.

Other than that…I wanted to pull my brain out of my head and stomp on it earlier. It wanted to think on one subject…I don’t know why…It gets like that at times. I just…*shakes head* Luckily I’ve resisted the urge to send a text message when I’ve been feeling like that.

Tried to get in a nap…But the Critters were having nothing to do with it. Harley would get up here, get down, get back up here, wiggle around, causing me great bodily pain.

Anyway…That’s about all there is to my day.

Too bad you couldn’t home school; sounds like the perfect solution. But, yes, there are other things you need to do as well. I just hope he, er, calms down? *lol* Though, he seems to smart and well, apt to do his work. I wonder why things are so different when he’s at school? *burns down school* 😀 *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*

*prods harley* well if the stupid girl is going to mistake the weather she deserves getting some sense knocked in to her! sheesh schools don’t know discipline these days even if he was thrown out, at least he got some work done and such xxx

Jaden had a bit problem “keeping his hands to himself” as we termed it. Thankfully he’s calmed down since then, but he’s had his fair share of bad days. *hugs* I know it’s hard.

School is probably not providing the kind of discipline and structure that Harley needs to learn. His teacher seems to freak out and call home every time he does something. Has there ever been a real conference in which you were able to discuss his behavior at home versus school? *shrugs* It could help. Maybe he’s just having a hard time adjusting? I hope you have a better day today.

Home schooling would be a great option for him. Too bad the Pet is worthless. They just need to try working with him one on one.
