Drop and Go Zone

Posted by: queenbee950 on: November 8, 2009

I crafted this email to the principal of the school because this drop and go zone is her baby.  Please note that if I wasn’t in my slippers when this happened, I would have been all over the bitch-teacher shutting the door on my son and the other children’s faces. – AARRRRRRRRGHHH (does that read [...]

Constitutionality of Banning Peanut Products in School

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 25, 2009

I am starting to wonder the constitutionality of not allowing peanut products eaten in my son’s 1st/2nd grade class room.  According to the Peanut Boy’s Mother, the other mothers that send peanut butter for lunch are trying to kill her son.  Now who ever brings peanut products must eat their pb & j’s in the [...]

Sick 2nd grader = Quiet House

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 18, 2009

Ok, we are into week 4 of 2nd grade and my son Jx comes home with a virus.  No it’s not the swine virus or the regular flu virus but instead a knock you on your ass for 6 days kind of virus.  My son was so sick that he just lay on the couch [...]

Letter to New Principal – Drop and Go

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 12, 2009

Dear New Principal: I wanted to say thank you for the “drop and go” system, it is a great new system for getting my son to class.  I would however, like to let you know of a snag in your system. My son is in 2nd grade and his classroom door is in the back [...]

New Curriculum/New School Year – Good?

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 12, 2009

I am very happy with Jx teacher this year.  We just received a curriculum outline and this is what is expected of the kids:  “If your child’s homework takes more than 20-30 minutes to complete, please let us know.  Homework should be a review of the skills that we have been working on in class.” [...]

So Far So Good In 2nd Grade 2009

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 10, 2009

11 days since school started and we are off and running in the 2nd grade – along with a few snags (of course).  The school smooshed the 1st and 2nd graders together this year in efforts to save money (the board only gave them enough money for 2 teachers and there were only 15 first [...]

Crazy Moms In My Daily Life With A 2nd-Grader

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 10, 2009

I would like to share with you our nick-names for the people we run across daily in the 2nd grade. 1.  Veggie Mom – walks to school everyday with her 2 kids and brings a gallon sized Ziploc with lettuce and other crudités for their afternoon snack. 2.  Cry Baby – mom that causes the [...]

Can A 7-Year Old Boy Use Smooth Away?

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 27, 2009

We were driving to dinner the other day and I was petting my hubby’s arm – “man you are fuzzy like my poms” (He’s as hairy as my dogs).  I remember that Jx has the start of hairy legs (which seems very odd and early to me – but anyway).  From the back seat I [...]

7 Year Old Quits his Job

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 27, 2009

What do you say to your 7 year old when he says that he is going to quit his job – the only chore around the house – brining in the garbage can and recycling bins?  I know that kids now-a-days have a lot less responsibility that we had growing up so we started him out [...]

5 Days Until 2nd-Grade and the IM7-FU Virus

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 20, 2009

Five days to 2nd grade.  I have mixed emotions about Jx going back to school; for the last week I’ve really been sad about sending him to school this year but after today I am totally ready.  I cannot stand the whining, fake crying, smart mouthing and direct confrontations. The latest 7-year old make-your-parents-crazy tactic [...]
