cqvenus 9744 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-05-12, 07:29 AM (EST) "Back to School" my kids are going back to school last of everyone I know. I have a 1st grader and a Kindergartner this year! That leaves me home with a toddler and a bump. Anyone have any back to school advice, retrospective or reflective? I can't believe they're "enjoying" their last day of summer vacation today... with torrential downpours... my 1st grader was very into school. she had no problems. My K-man this year is a little more shy. i'm Typical-Parent worried. cq anyone else not sent their kids on the bus yet? the waiting is killing them! (and me!)   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

PepeLePew13 23605 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-05-12, 03:47 PM (EST) 8. "RE: thanks" LAST EDITED ON 09-05-12 AT 04:47 PM (EST) Hey CQ, good to see ya! The kids will be fine once they get used to the whole routine, but the most important thing to do with them is to have a set routine, above all. I posted a sheet in our kitchen showing times that the boys need to complete certain things by (wake up 6:30, dressed and breakfast by 7:00, lunches packed 7:15, in car 7:30, etc.) and also reminders for them to put their lunch boxes on the counter and their agenda planners on the family info desk as soon as they get home from school. Without that visual posted reminder, we have to verbally tell them to do it every time. But if they have something that they actually see, they tend to do it more readily especially after I "gave" them choices on where they wanted to put them so they felt like they were contributing something and thus more willing to do it. In the past, when we didn't have posted times, it was sometimes chaotic to get them ready to go as they didn't think about how much time they had to get ready. And... holy cow! Full house already! It doesn't seem that long ago that you were kidless and I just had Pippy when we had our peep meet, does it? Now, Pippy is in grade 4 and has already sprouted up to my chin, while Poppy is in grade 2. Time sure passes. The older kids - one is now at the University of Waterloo and the other is in grade 11. Conga-rats on your bump!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

qwertypie 9625 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-10-12, 12:38 PM (EST) 16. "RE: thanks" Pepe - that cartoon is totally me! I count down the time til that "yellow bus of mercy" comes rolling down the front street. True story. A few years ago Christmas break was ending in the middle of a cold snap. It had been a very difficult time, this was as we were coming to the realization that Sam needed to be on medication to help regulate his mood, aggression and sleep (the kid was only sleeping 2-3 hours at a time, waking nightmares, etc.). It was so cold the girls' busses weren't running and the car was in the shop so there would be no way to get Sam to school if his bus didn't take him. When that wonderful yellow bus honked outside, I was in such a panic it was going to leave without him that I literally bodychecked Mr. Q out of the way to get Sam out the door and on that bus.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LOL I saw a preview for that during both "Secret Life of Arietty" and "Brave"! Did that come out yet? It looks awful and I would threaten my 8 year old boy in going to see it if he did not behave in school last spring. Next movie for us is probably "Wreck It Ralph".   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: So..." http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID6/37734.shtml In payment for the multiple bits of fun that was the Brigantine weekend trip, I have ordered talked the circle into a full-fledged Wreck-It Ralph party and everyone will work their schedules to include any potential midnight showing if I have to get some of them fired to free up the time. Not that I blame them for all of it, but the beds and driving will cover the bill.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Molaholic 7954 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-05-12, 04:28 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Back to School" From the other side of the teacher's desk -- (and we started in mid-August -- first time for the "early start" calendar resulting in a loss of three weeks vacation time that will never be recouped -- but that's another vent) -- I always look forward to the first day of school; fresh faces (and the 6th graders with the "deer-in-the-headlights" look for the first couple of days); setting the ground-rules and reconnecting with colleagues. I really like the idea of establishing a set pattern, and the fact that you're using visual clues to remind everyone of what needs to be done.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Bebo 20393 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-07-12, 12:10 PM (EST) 15. "Old news for me" Since my kids are in year-round schools, school started in July and their first quarter ends on Tuesday. The year round calendar here is 45 days on, 15 days off, so the boys will be out until the end of the month. Thank goodness for track out camps. For those of you old-timers here, Bubba is now in 2nd grade, and Mini Coop is in first. I know a number of you were here when those little guys were born.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
