Married Leos

Our third child whom is 5 came to me about 3 weeks ago stating that her tooth was loose. I thought to myself she must have bumped her mouth and hurt her tooth a little, there is no way that she can be loosing a tooth. So I brushed it off. The next week she again made a comment that it was loose I told her not to play with it to leave it alone, I figured that the more she put her little finger on it then it would for sure loosen. The third week she was crying that she was afraid she was going to swollow her tooth because it was really loose. So this time I take a look and low and behold this baby is lose!!! So I call the dentist and ask if this is normal because I was always under the impression that kids start to lose their teeth when they are in the 1st or 2nd grade, she is not even in kindergarten yet! They assured me that it was indeed normal and that she will be just fine. I worried too because she does not like milk and likes to suck on her vitamin but then throws it away. So I told her that from now on she is to drink milk in small amounts like 6 times a day otherwise all of her teeth will fall out and never come back, I think I scared the heck out of her, but I had to tell her something in order for her to drink milk. She says the reason why she doesn’t like milk is that when the bubbles go away the milk taste nasty, I have never heard of that one before, lol

Our eldest daughter took several pictures of her sister and her loose tooth and one of them show a tear on her cheek (my favorite) she was really freakin’ out because it was so loose our eldest took it out and said that it was barely hanging in there. Of course the toothfairy came and she was so excited that she held her dollar the whole day until her siblings came home from school and when she showed the boy he tells her “you were suppose to get ten dollars!” He can be such a little shit at times, lol

We were watching TV and the kids were playing when out of nowhere Foster Boy says ” Look at my big Woody “.  I couldn’t help but laugh ( inside, because I don’t think anyone else heard it ).  Of course he was holding a Woody doll from Toy Story.  PERVS!!

Growing up was hard for me, I was this skinny skinny long haired girl, who was (back then) shy and scared to talk to anyone. I am sure that all of us at one time or another have been picked on or made fun of at school. Sure I had some friends but the ones who were “cool” never gave me the time of day. Of course as I started High School, I still kept to myself only because the school I was attending was not such a safe school to be in. I still had my small group of friends but kept my distance from others.

My son came home yesterday (Valentine’s Day) and he looked bummed, so I asked him what was wrong and he said he had a bad day, I told him to tell me what happened so he proceeds to go through is “ENTIRE” day, once he is done I look at him and ask “So why are you so bummed? Nothing you told me explains why you look sad”. He says I can’t tell you. Oh yes you can and I want to know now is my repsonse. He says that he wanted to give a girl something for Valentine’s Day (she was once his little girlfriend for about a week,lol) so his big sister gave him a necklace to give to this girl. He said at recess he went up to her and asked her to be his Valentine and gave her the necklace, she looked at it and through it on the floor and said “No I will not be your Valentine, I don’t like you”. So I went to where my son was standing and I hugged him and said to him “I will always be your valentine son and do not worry because you are going to go through this time and time again with girls, but right now you are so young to be worried about things like this and in time there will be girls that like you and will want you to be their boyfriend.” Then he says “well when is that?” My reply? “When you are 24 dude!”. LOL

My thing is why are kids so rude to each other? This little girl crushed him, does she have no clue how long it took him to get up the courage to ask her? She could have at least said “Sorry R I am someone elses Valentine, and leave out the I don’t like you part. But I have told my son just like I told my eldest daughter that there are going to be girls/guys coming in and out of your life and when you feel one of them is the right one you will be on cloud nine and it will feel right to be together. My son was pretty quiet the rest of the night, but today he seemed his self so hopefully he got over what happened and will just continue with his young life, going to school to learn lots of things and hopefully what happened yesterday will make him become a better person, a stronger person. I did tell him that life sucks sometimes especially if something doesn’t go your way. I wish I would have had someone to talk to when I was young then I would have known that kids can be cruel to each other but don’t take it personal they are just rude people trying to look cool.

Awe! is what I said when I opened the door my “the big one” as she got home from school. A guy named Juan asked her if she wanted a ride home, she said no that’s ok and he said no you need a ride home, so she said ok fine I will meet you outside I have to run to my locker. When she got to his car she noticed that there was a big red bear and flowers in the front seat. He smiled at her and said Happy Valentine’s Day. They not only go to school together but he works at that Taco Hell place as well. I met him 2 days ago and he seems real nice, he is going to college (plus) and he is also wants to be with the FBI and is going with the Will County deputies a few weekends a month for training that will count towards his college degree. He sounds like he really knows what he wants out of life (another plus). I teased M and she laughed and told me to stop, lol

I was happy to see that someone else besides the loser she talked to on the phone for two years is showing her some attention. I will keep you posted if anything should blossom.

We got about 8 inches of snow overnight Thursday/Friday morning so yesterday was a snow day for everyone except for the Queen, she gets to work from home ( cannot use bad weather as an excuse here ). This is a picture of the twins shoveling off the porch. We are going to be here ALL day.

Side Post to this: I was out there shoveling the 8 inches off snow of the driveway, and I was almost done, well not really ( only had the 2ft of snow the plows piled up at the end of the drive ), when the Boy came out and said he was going to play. I know there is alot of snow and kids wanna play so I had no problem with it. He saw the kid across the street on the his neighbors driveway and went over there. I continued shoveling, I looked up and saw the Boy just standing there throwing snowballs with noone around. I asked him what he was doing and can you believe what he said? ” Christian is asking his Mom if I can help him shovel. ” WHAT!!! HELL NO!!!

Me: If you are helping anyone shovel its going to be me.

Boy: I don’t have a shovel.

Me: Here use this one.

Boy: I gotta help my Dad, ( head down pouts across the street )

Me: ( hands boy shovel and goes inside to thaw out )

This picture is not that clear, sorry, took it with the girls toy camera, its pretty sad when the 5 year olds have the only digital camera in the house.
