Size matters

OK I need to vent!!! Why is it that manufactures of men's clothing skip the size small and 29 inch waists. I am going crazy trying to find clothes for Brian. He is in need of P.E. clothes and I cannot find his size anywhere. Do they think that boy go from lg. boy to med. men's over night so there is no need to create a small. Or is it that now days small is so far fetched in our fast food nation. Hello get a clue Mr. Manufacturer I need a men's small. And seeing as I have slow growing children and there momma practices the ancient art of cooking at home with out the microwave even being involved I don't think that he will be gaining super fast anytime soon so please start making his size.

The first day of school

Well the first day of school went well. They both came home with smiles on their faces. Brian gets two first days of school, they have A days and B days. But first day of A day was great. He likes all his teacher so far. He like being treated like an adult (those are his words) He LOVES open campus lunches especially with an Arby's, Carl's Jr., Panda, Mc D's, Burger King, and Papa Johns pizza so close to the school. Oh yeah and Starbucks which is what he had for the first day of school. He came home and rested about 10 minute and got right on his homework without being asked. I was amazed at that. This is a first in all his many school years. Jessica likes her teachers as well. They tested her reading with the dibbles test (BTW, I hate dibbles) and she did very well. This is a first for her she normally scores 6 months below to right at reading level. At there standard if you score at reading level you are a low reader. Don't ask. But they went as far as testing her at a 9th grade level. Well that's what they told her and she struggled at the 9th but did very well until then. I am proud of both of them. Let's hope this is a sighn for what is to come; lost of smiles and doing well in school

School starts today

Yep that's right. They are off to school. Looking cute in new clothes. Brian is off to high school (10th grade here) and he is excited and nervous all at the same time. I can't believe he only have 3 more years of school and then he gets to make his life choices of college and career. Doesn't seem possible. Jessica is in 6th grade this year. She is very very excited to have gotten the teacher she wanted (Brian's 6th grade teacher). Inside I laugh at her because she will have all the teachers. They change teachers for different subjects like jr high and high school. But she got the home room teacher she wants anyway. She is doing crossing guard so I have to have her there by 7:40. Also she keep telling me 180 days of school and she will be a jr. higher. OK I don't want to hear it. Especially since I am so thankful to have a year break from that school. I really didn't like it at all. If I have to deal with a certain teacher one more time I am going to have to tell her off. I was speechless last year although rumor has it she retired. In my opinion 3 years late.
