An emotional roller coaster!!

Thursday was parent teacher conference. The teachers in the junior high seemed to always hate their jobs and hate the kids. They were very rude to me and disrespectful to say the least. So I have become defensive. I had been working myself up all day to walk into Brian's High School and defend him and tell a few teachers just what I though of their comments. Well I was pleasantly surprised at the comments. Every teacher there truly like my son. One teacher even told me out of all the students she has ever taught she can only say she loves about 20 of them and Brian is one she loves. Comments I heard over and over again were...
Brian is...
very respectful
a delight to have in class
incredible smart
funny
sweet
genuinely nice
My heart swelled so much I just though it would burst in my chest right there. I was having to walk away from teachers to cry and compose myself before going onto the next teacher and then the phone call came in. Brian was at a friends house and supposed to meet me at the school. He forgot to leave on time and was running very late. He calls and I hear angry voices yelling into the phone. "MOM I WAS HIT BY A CAR. I AM SO MAD. THE IDIOT HIT ME!! I ALMOST FOUGHT HIM!!" I was freaking out big time and couldn't think. I was already a basket case and just couldn't focus so I called Jer and told him. When he called back he says things are ok sounds like Bri wasn't really hurt and he would be at school soon. When he showed up he was fine. The guy did run over his foot and hit him with the side mirror. He was more angry than anything. He was only sore for a couple of hours and now he thinks he is so tough he can take on a car and win!!! Great that's all I need is for my teenage son who thinks he's too tough to die as it is to believe he can take on a car!!

I love my sweet Bri. I'm glad he is ok. I still say make the man who hit him pay for his mistake...it happens too often.

Wow I would say that was quite the emotional night! And you should give yourself a big pat on the back because it's because of you that he has turned out so great!
