U Gotta Be Kiddin Me

All night long my Son has been doing some very sweet things. He's been in his room, thinking about what had happened today. He's taken to his drawing. He's been drawing me pictures that I used to draw at his age, and he's never seen the pictures. He told me that he loves Art. That impresses me. He has my art skills. But I do want him to be successful in his life. So I have to remind him to enjoy his art but to keep his options open. So for now...I am going to bed early tonight. My Son had made the comment he was tired when all this fighting started....so tonight. I am changing. I am going to bed as well.

Today was my breaking point. Today while sitting at the school, the Principal calls me with 10 minutes left of the day to tell me that my Son bit TWO different kids today. And frankly, it sent me over the edge. I am so sick and tired of my SON being singled out. Granted he was only joking around with the one kid, but that ONE kid took it a little too far and threatened MY SON to pick him up and throw him. And obviously, my Son got scared and defended himself and bit the kid. Now mind you, this kid that my Son bit is three times the size of my Son. Now why would my Son who is smaller than this other kid...just go and bite him? Seriously, are you kidding me? It makes me so mad to hear that my Son is being singled out, especially knowing a week ago a friend of mines Daughter is being bullied at the same school....and my name was mentioned on why I didn't do something about it. When she isn't even my Daughter, so I did go in and let her know. Now in return this happens to my Son. Second time my Son has defended himself and he gets in trouble. Its bullshit, and I am tired of it. My Son isn't perfect, but he doesn't provoke trouble, he doesn't start trouble, and he only defends himself when he is cornered. I guess, I am just a old fashioned Parent....I am not raising a Wus for a Son Dammit!!!

Nothing like waking up and hearing the first words out of someone's mouth. "My Last day is Friday.!" What more is going to happen? And what really irritates the shit out of me, is hearing all these commercials about how we are not really in a recession and that we are still making the same money. BULLSHIT. I say. They are not the ones getting laid off...YET. Once you get laid off, and you search and search for a new job. Its not easy. It really makes me mad when I hear those commercials that we make the same amount of money and spend the same, blah, blah, blah. I don't make the same amount of money, and I get unemployment, I only get a third of what I would get. But my bills are the same, just behind. Except for a select few that I paid off with income tax. Now, I don't know what's going to happen here. I am not so beyond stressed its not even funny. We have the light bill due on the 8th, insurance due on the 4th and 17th, our weekly payments for my Son's bed which I can't afford outright due every Friday. I don't get consistant child support because he is laid off as well. So people can't say that we make the same...its affecting EVERY ONE.
