Back to School Day!

Today was back to school in our neck of the woods and let me tell you I was one happy (step) mom! Being stuck in the house 24/7 for 3 months with two boys, one 16 the other 11 who thinks the couch would float away if they peeled themselves off of it, was not a happy summer. It had its good moments but I definitely welcome the break. 
Logan starts his new preschool (developmental) Wednesday. That will be a bit harder for me. I have enjoyed having my little boy home. It will be back to the normal routine that it once was. He goes to school, comes home and starts his ABA therapy at home then its time for bed. I do not get anytime with him and he is only 3. He is one busy busy little boy. 
The boys have made it home and boom more supplies we have to get. We had a specific list for Cory. We even double checked to make sure which list we went by. Well he brings home his papers from school and we have extra things we have to buy. Then everything he brought home has his very first name, Daniel on it when I specifically wrote on all the enrollment papers that he goes by Cory. The problems with having Four names right? (not my doing, I am not the birth mom) Oh and some of the rules! Ridiculous. Only 3 bathroom passes allowed during a 9 weeks period? If the child has to go any other time it will be counted as a tardy. I do not know about yall but when kids gotta go they gotta go. I would have gotten tons of tardies. 
Another funny thing is, this teacher sends home a power point that is printed out and she has spelling and grammar errors. She is a teacher lol. Yes I know, they are human too and make mistakes. But on the very first slide? People, even teachers are relying to much on spell check. If there is not a little red squiggly line under it they do not double check and see the grammar error. I have them but hey, I do not have a degree to teach. 

Now the highschool kid (Sean) comes home and says the entire times of the schedules have changed. Lots of things are different but since this one has issues talking, he stumbles over his words all the time so he has a hard time explaining anything. Then he tells us they had an assembly at school and during this in which there was a proposal. One of the teachers boyfriends proposed. Am I just on a bitchy kick or is this inappropriate to anyone else? This is school. I just do not agree with it. Maybe I just dislike this school district so much I am finding stuff to nit pick. 
Hopefully the year proves to be better. If not we just may have to make a move. 

Other than all my complaining the boys had a good day. It is Cory's first year in this school district. Atkins Red Devils in Arkansas. He even said he made a new friend. A new kid from Arizona. At least he did not spend the day by himself. That was my biggest worry for him. Sean the Sophomore, I had no worries. Hes fine. Other than the fact he wore a shirt he wore all the time last year all stained up and strings hanging all over it (despite all the new ones we bought him).

Boys.........I just do not understand them. Sorry no pictures of their first day..Does this make me a bad step mom? How were you little ones first day?

Weekend Anxiety!

This weekend was kind of busy but not really. Monday was the kicker. 
Mr. Sexy and I decided to actually go on a date Friday night. Just us!

I had a reason to wear makeup

We have not done that in a long long time so it was nice. We did the cliche dinner and a movie or well the movie and a dinner. We decided on going to go see Hercules which was a good choice. The movie was very good in my opinion but Mr. Sexy did not like it all that much. He said it was missing something. Gee I wonder what? There was no nudity or sex in the movie what so ever! I think thats one of the reason I liked it so much. 

The theater environment was kind of creepy. I guess because it was a matinee showing and at 4:40 there was only one person in the movie with us. I kept having anxiety that he was going to jump up from his seat and open fire. Go ahead and laugh but it was a thought that kept running through my head. After the movie we went to Ruby Tuesdays for something to eat and drink. Well I am never ever pleased with their food but Mr. Sexy wanted the spinach artichoke dip. That did not satisfy my hunger so I ordered some mozzarella sticks.  That did not do the trick and why waste anymore money? I am never happy with Ruby Tuesday. Only thing they have going for them is the bar.
I do not remember Saturday really or Sunday. I think I just worked on my blanket that I am crocheting at the moment. We are boring people, what can I say? Not really boring its just we live where there is nothing ever going on and if we do want to go somewhere we have to drive 2 hours away. Very lame and I am totally sick of living here. 
Monday we had to register the kids for school. Cory is going into the 6th grade, Sean is a sophomore and Logan is enrolling into Pediatrics Plus! We toured this school and it is amazing. The functional play room has a space ship built into it, a play house that will have everything in it, a puppet theater and art center. The walls are sensory geared! In the physical therapy rooms they have a zip line going into a ball pit. Outside they have mini golf and a track for tricycle riding. I am excited for this change in school. I am hoping Logan adjusts well and has fun! 
This week there is not much going on again. Just me working on my blanket and getting ready for the yard sale. We dont have much to sale but hey why not throw out what we do have and see if we can make $20 or so? 

I am not linking up to anywhere today. Just writing.....
