I had been trying to keep up, but I have been busy volunteering everyday this week and not in the mood over the weekend. 

 

This weekend we took the kids to Clemyjontri with Z's friend Sofia.  They all had a fun time, that is until Zachary fell and skinned his face and got a cut on his bottom.  He and Sofia were racing on the balance beems.  They tied the first time and then Sofia won with 7 seconds and Zachary, 8.  They continued playing while I went to the car to get their water (Law was with Maddy on the other side of the park).  As I am walking back from the van, I hear a loud cry.  I recognized that cry.  It was Zach.  I about started to run, but saw Law was near him and was taking care of it.  I get there and he wants mom to hug and comfort him - poor kid.  His eye was bruised with a sore on the top and bottom.  He could barely walk and he was shaken up a bit, but he didn't want to leave - they were having such a good time.  They all sat to eat some grapes and he was hoping he would feel better, after, but then the bees start flying all around us.    I tried to be brave and what it did more than anything is ANNOY me!  And of course Zachary is terrified every time one gets near him.  ARG!  He was no longer having a good time, so we decided to head back and take them to lunch.  I was fun in the beginning and Maddy had a blast on the tire swing - her favorite.

 

I have been working on PTA stuff.  Creating and getting spreadsheats organized, trying to get volunteers lined up for events and trying to figure out what I need to do.  There is so much, but it has been nice having something to focus on.  Our fundraiser kicks off on Monday and I had to get the brochures ready for that, too.  I cleaned out the PTA closet at the school while I was at it - disaster!!!  Tuesday and today, Wedneday, I helped the reading teacher with some paper books. I called Daniela and asked if she'd like to hlep so she came by today and we both worked on them together.  I will be back tomorrow to help in Maddy classroom and to laminate some stuff for someone else.  I just wish I would get PAID to help this year.  I leave once Maddy is done, so I only spend mornings there.  Like I said, I enjoy it and it is helping the teachers. 

 

Monday Zachary was supposed to go to TKD.  He asked if he could skip because his leg was still very sore, but I made a stink about it and told him he can't be missing.  He missed once last week because he fell of his scooter and his legs and shoulder was sore.  Plus, when Law found out, he seemed upset that I allowed him to skip.  So this time I made him change and told him why it is improtant for him to go blah, blah, blah.  I actually would have let him skip because he could barely walk up the stairs, or at all, as he had been limping all day, but I didn't want to hear it from Law, so that was my main reason for taking him.  Well, on the way there, he fell alseep.  I called Law and ran it by him.  He said he wouldn't press the issue and just to take him home.   I was glad we were on the same page because I really started to feel bad for my boy.  I was going to talk with his Master and tell him what happened and that he may not be able to fully participate, but what is the point of going, at all, really?!  He seems much better today and he WILL be going to class.  And he likes the class so it is not like he is trying to get out of it just to get out of it. 

 

I guess that is all for now.
