It's only Wednesday. Only Wednesday. Well, I guess I could say that it's nearly Thursday. Less than two hours. I'm so ready for this week to be over. I'm really tired and frustrated. I really want to just go away for a day after Thomas gets back. If only there were some place to go that was free! Not possible. There is no place to go to that is free. It would be nice if I could just sit in my room, alone, read, whatever, but I can't do that because if the kids know I am home they won't budge. They'll kick, scream, whatever, to get in to me. That should make me feel loved, shouldn't it? It just frustrates me mostly. Does that make me a bad mom?
I don't often get real time to myself. Usually I am multi tasking or I still have the responsibility of the kids... like.. Thomas thinks that since I am home all day I get all kinds of time to do as I want. Yeah, right. Sure, sometimes I can read a page of this book and sometimes I can sit here and read a couple threads at a message board..but.. I don't get any straight time with no responsibility. My husband goes out just about every Friday night to do AD&D. I don't really mind, not really. I just want time to myself, too.. but I don't have something to do! Going to the movies cost money and I don't like spending money unless I have to.
I have more cleaning to do. Yuck. Oh, oh, how could I forget to put Jamey's first Parent Teacher Conference information here?
For Listening and following directions he got a most of the time. She said that he sometimes has a hard time listening when he is told to pick up toys and sometimes needs redirection. This to me seems normal, so I'm not worried.
Completes Work on time Most of the time
Does Neat and Careful Work Most of the time
Can Control Talking Sometimes. She said that he likes to talk and sometimes needs prompting and redirection. Again, this sounds normal to me. No worries.
Is Courteous and Polite. Most of the time
Cooperates with others Sometimes. She said that he sometimes has trouble sharing and working with others. Again, this sounds normal.
Is Dependable and Can Work Independently When Necessary Sometimes. She said that he doesn't play well by himself (which is a surprise to me because he places just fine by himself at home.) She also said (again) that he is still dependent on his friend Anthony... which I have talked to him about time and time again but he has it in his head that Anthony will be sad if he plays with other kids. I don't know what to do other than keep encouraging him to play with others.
She also said that he is eager to please and wants to do well. He's smart - oldest in the class and knows more than he has to. They're only supposed to be able to count to 10 and Jamey can count way past 10. I think he can count to 100, it's been awhile since we did though so lol. I'm really proud of my baby boy.
