OK
yup that counts...sometimes i think they can make just a big of a mess as the kids...LOL
today...does that count on the happy dance scale???? If it doesn't it should...man can that man make a mess.....considering we were away from the 26th until this last Friday...(ok so not all of the mess was his fault...we had the hardwood guys in again on Sat *sigh*)
i was doing the happy dance today....lol nice and peaceful here....the holiday did seem long this year
smiles
janetc
woohoo, I'm doing the happy dance today...well if I had the energy I would...I am sick with flu, boohoo to me. So finally I can recover without the kids driving me insane!
I haven't touched the house, just recouperating, drinking tea...checking this site...aaah, a nice nap will be lovely. Oh, almost time to pick them up from school already! Were did the time go?! aaaahhhggg. :D
just to be safe order it today...they probably won't make it until tomorrow....but you don't want to risk not being able to get it...the pics on the two cakes were the front of their invitations
Those are great cakes! I think I will get her a Disney Princess one that she looks at evertime we are at Loblaws. Should I order it today, or do I just go in and they can make me one that day.
NO DESSERT!!!!!.....you terrible mother you!!!!....just kidding....make sure you get her a nice big ice cream cake....even try Loblaws....there cakes are delish....check out the ones i got for my boys...both from Loblaws
I am a mean mummy... LOL we don't do dessert in our house, only on special occasions. But I will be for sure getting her a cake tomorrow its her 6th Birthday! :)
i think that's a good idea...maybe add that she can pick what kind of dessert you have for dinner too
Thanks for all the good ideas, I really like the idea of getting some french games. My step dad is french and a teacher so I was thinking of having him come over and do some work with her, Every day in the morning I tell her if she can tell me either 3 french words or 3 good things or a combo of both about school then she can go swimming that night or she can pick something special she would like to do that night, like play a game, read a book together, or watch a special TV show that she likes. Does this seem like a good idea ??? I am hoping it is...
i knew i wouldn't be the only happy mom here...LOL....it's been so frickin' quiet here that my house is completely cleaned already....dinner is almost ready to be cooked....all my errands have been run....and i had time to paint my ktichen table....ahhhhhh school...who'd-a-thunk i would like school so much..... :D
Our kids went back on last Monday so they have been back a full week already now they did get out early the 16th was their last day that sure seems like along holiday. I remember the first day of school was a happy day for me.
I did the happy dance! My oldest and middle son's fight and argue constantly, so the house is fairly quiet today, I actually got some house work done! Tommorow my middle son will be at school too (he's in JK). I can't wait to just have 1 boy at home, it's so peaceful when it's just him and I home,and it so much easier to keep on top of the mess! DH is on days this week too. so I'll have some help with the kids in the evening! WOO HOO for school :D
Condo girl: It's only a matter of time before she adjusts. In the meanwhile reassure her, and if it helps her to feel better, do some extra french work with her so she can catch up. I'm sure that there are workbooks you can get for her age group that are fun to do, maybe even educatoinal french games the 2 of you can play together. Plus the 1 on 1 time will probably be very helpful for her too, she may feel more comfortable and adjust quicker, knowing she has so much love and support at home.
happy happy dance. oldest dd was up before 7:30 on her own getting ready for school. i guess she was excited to head back. it did seem like a longer break this year with the holidays falling on the weekends. hope the excitement doesn't wear off too soon.
condogirl, your little one will adjust it just may take a few weeks of teary mornings. talk to the teachers and let them know as well that she is overwhelmed and to inform you if she seems overly sad during the day. it's so hard i know to let them go when they are like that but it really is best for them to work through it on thier own. try not to let her see you upset over this and try not to make a big deal in the morning about going to school. sorry i don't think there is a straight forward solution other than time. good luck.
My little one started the morning off crying about having to go back. She just started a new school the first week of December and if that wasn’t enough I transferred her to French school, from English school. Where we used to live they didn’t start French school until grade one, where we are now starts in SK. So I think she is feeling a little overwhelmed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can help her with this?
