I am trying to plan out Christmas gifts for this year. I want to avoid the piles of crap and toys that will be played with once. We have so much stuff.

So I thought that signed my boys up for a class or activity or two would be a great way to have them get the most out of a gift. That way they will have fun and learn something for several weeks rather than throw the gift in the toy chest in ten minutes. I need some idea of what you think would be fun, worthwhile etc.

As I mentioned in my earlier blog, ss tried to dump several weeks of dirty clothes on me again this weekend. I dumped them right back at his door.

Last night I noticed his clothes were sitting out in front of our bedroom door. I continued to ignore them. After all the kids were in bed, dh asks me "did ss's clothes ever get washed?" Nope "he doesn't have any clean uniform shirts for that program tomorrow" I just stared at him and gave a little shrug and went back to watching TV.

School called again last night. SS is in trouble AGAIN. So much for his "great" week that deserved rewards. He stole a pad of tady slips from the administrators. Should hear today fromvtge principal what punishment this infraction will incur. I doubt I'll be a third in school suspension, so probably out of school suspension. Fuck my life.

Sd looks just like me.

He thinks its funny, I am quite frankly horrified. I hope I hid the look on my face well enough tbat he didnt catch my reaction. And its not thag sd is an ugly kid..... But I definitely dont want any association between us. And we look nothing alike....at all.
