He Can Make My Heart Melt

that or make me cry, something I NEVER do. Today, Goose told me that we could have school at home since he didn’t have to go to his other school. He ran to my closet and found my school bag. (Empty since September). He waited patiently at the table for our lessons! As usual, he […]

Teacher’s Pet

Okay, so maybe Goose isn’t the teacher’s pet with his less than stellar smiley face count, but she does seem to like him. Of course, at the beginning of the year I told her about the whole home school thing. She probably thought…just take him out already. Instead, she has been really sweet to me […]

This is Goose at the Warhol Museum dancing in the clouds. We weren’t supposed to take pictures in the museum so we had to sneak a few shots with the Blackberry in this exhibit. I figured that was okay since he was allowed to touch the clouds. The following is an excerpt from the museum’s […]

Showing My Support

Even though I STILL want to homeschool Goose, I am showing my support and doing my best not to be such a bitch to everyone, meaning Lance, about Goose being in school. I don’t think I’ve even mentioned any of my frustrations lately on this blog. Good for me, I’m learning self control. I guess […]

Not Alone

Goose has a conduct report daily. If he is good, he gets a smiley face. If he doesn’t follow the rules, we get numbers according to which rules he failed to follow. I have been pretty worried because after the first few weeks of school, he has yet to have one straight week of smiley […]

Last week, the boys and I were finally all well enough for our long awaited trip to the zoo with the twins. We have had to cancel this outing for three straight weeks. Each week, Baby Hulk would ask about the twins and our plans. I hated telling him that once again they had been […]

Sneaky

Tonight Goose was purposefully aggravating Baby Hulk. The Hulk finally got frustrated and hit Goose. Goose told me he had to hit his brother back. I went on and on about how he didn’t have to hit his brother, how he was older, more mature. And finally, I said if I saw him hit the […]

My Chinese Speaker

Goose has been taking Chinese at school since the beginning of the year. Once a week for forty-five minutes. You can imagine how much he has learned. Every week I ask him to tell me one word, and he comes up with “ummmmmm”. Not really impressive. Last night while going over his papers for the […]

Last night we were showing the kids how to find the game on TV while we’re gone on Saturday. Hulk was so excited and kept saying “OU sucks!” I found this endearing, Lance was a bit disturbed. Goose’s favorite phrase is “beat the hell out of OU!” I guess I am teaching them bad words, […]

Last night, Lance made pork chops and rice for dinner. Everyone was happy except Goose who doesn’t like rice. Because you know, he has had so much rice in his five years of life. As in he has NEVER had any rice since I stopped feeding him rice cereal. Lance made him put one bite […]
