It's Friday!

 And that means the weekend is here!

And this is my weekend off!

 

We are going to my sisters tomorrow for her son's birthday.

Mike won't be coming with us, but we are used to that, he is staying

home to do hay because he has already made plans to pick

up another pony on Sunday.

 

I told the kids we would stop at McD's for lunch on the way there.

It's about an hour and 10 minute drive from here, so not too bad

and the weather is supposed to be nice, thank goodness!

 

I spent this morning doing my hair!!

Finally, lol!! I got a really bad cut last time I went and

you couldn't even tell I had spent $18 on it and I really should

have went back and told them that.

Anyway I finally just stopped yesterday on my way home

from work, I thought if I don't do it right now when I had some

money in my pocket and a little time alone then I would just keep

putting it off longer.

So this morning I put a hair dye in it and for under $20 I got

a whole new look! Yes, it only cost me $12.50 to get it cut because

I found someplace different and they did a good job so I think

I will be going back there from now on.

 

Got a call from the school today and my 14 y/o has been

suspended for a day (monday) because him and a whole group of

boys were throwing snowballs. They were way out in the field by

themselves and the lady teacher that was on just kept watching them

and finally after 15 minutes she didn't think she could handle the

situation herself so she went inside the school to get the principal

to do it!! He told me they were being suspended for not only throwing

the snowballs, which all the kids know is a big no-no, but also for

blatantly disrepecting authority. Well I asked him if the teacher told them

to stop and he said no, and I told him that I thought that would have

taken care of the whole situation. If she thought it was so dangerous

then why didn't she even try to stop them? Also maybe she didn't

want to walk way out there? It's not like she couldn't have yelled though

they do it all the time, lol!!

Anyway, I'll quit rambling, lol, as you can see I get like a mother bear,

especially when I know that son is one of the most respectful kids I know.

So I did ask the principal if he realized that all of the boys he just

suspended were supposed to get their Grade 8 grad pics taken on

Monday and I don't think he did realize this. He said 'Well I guess

maybe they could come in at 11:30 when the photographer will be here

and get them done'. I said what about all the parents that work?

He was dumbfounded and said they would figure something out

by the end of the day.

O.k, I know....I'll shut up already LOL!!!

I'm sure my son will be happy to have the day off though.

It'll be a holiday for them all, which is another thing I don't get

about suspensions!!?? When we were in school we had to write lines

or something, we didn't get a day off, lol.
