Of course the weekend didn't quite go as planned. I did get my hair done so I'm happy for that. My appointment got moved up to a earlier time on Sat so we didn't make it to the flea market. The day seemed to go by so quickly I just can't believe how fast it goes when you don't want it to. For some reason the rest of Saturday is a blur....
Sunday was a busy day. After Church we headed to get the boys some new soccer shoes and shin guards. We found out that now Dev has progressed into the Men's sizes! Whoa...no longer shopping in the boys shoe section for him! Yikes, which also means higher prices! We negotiated with him for the ones he really wanted. We were only willing to pay a set price for the cleats. He really liked ones that were $5 more(of course) so he agreed to pay the extra money out of his own money. That was fine with us! Oh yeah, proud Mommy moment from Mass this morning. The Priest was asking people to please help donate to the "poor box" as you left out the doors to help the Ministry for people in need. Dev leaned to me and told me to take $2 out of his money so that he could put it in the box. I was very proud of him for wanting to do that all on his own! The rest of Sunday was spent looking for some new furniture. The boys weren't too happy but the weather wasn't good for the pool so they weren't missing out on swimming. They did really good and I was proud of them for hanging in there as we went from store to store. Yes we did find some things we liked, so now we just have to make the final decision.
Tomorrow we have a parent teacher conference with Dev's teacher. We don't seem to be on the same page as the teacher. I feel like I don't know what he is doing at school, or needs to be doing. He hasn't brought hardly any work home to work on and then he has tests and doesn't do very well on them. I have asked her several questions through email and I've decided an in person conference might be better so that I can get some answers...I little stressed about this. It's not like either of my boys to not get good grades, so I need to figure out what is going on and get things straightened out. Some of the same issues with Bry. He is getting pretty good grades overall but he'll bring home a test he did poorly on and tell us he didn't understand what he was supposed to do. Again, papers, study guides etc were never sent home prior to the test for us to help him study. I am setting up a conference with his teacher also. I feel the boys need things to study at home especially if they are not learning it well enough from the in class lessons..ugh...anyway I could type on and on about this. Hoping to get it worked out in the next week or so.
First soccer practice of the season tonight. But I have a feeling it might get cancelled due to our typical afternoon thunderstorms. I know the boys will be disappointed if that happens!
Well that's my Tuesday update. Feeling a little better today than yesterday but still stressed. I just need to get the boys school situated and then get our routine back in order and I think I will do better. We do have a fun weekend ahead planned in Disney for Dev's birthday celebration weekend. He is so excited but bummed that it's such a short trip. He is already planning what he is going to buy from the Disney store. I'm keeping an eye out on the weather hoping we don't have to wear ponchos all day! I'm so ready to get to the Happiest Place on Earth!!!!!!
