I had Griffin's second parent teacher conference on Tuesday. She had told me that he was still having meltdowns when the interim (progress reports) came home. However since that time, he is doing a lot better. Not perfect by any means. He had his first melt down in reading group 2 weeks ago. He got in trouble for wrestling in class yesterday. But that was the worst of it. She says he is sitting by himself by request. He can't seem to control the urge to talk in a group table. He isn't the only one. She has about 6 individual stations throughout. He has a lot of friends. His spelling is 100%. (should be as this is review, but he is also getting the bonus words) His math is btwn 88-100%. She says he is a doll.

The last 2 times I have had notes come home about him misbehaving it was on Wednesdays. This is ice cream day. One more Wednesday trouble session, Grif won't be getting ice cream at school any more. I took away privileges to daddy's video games for a week for this time. Oh, did I mention that he broke his lamp, well the bulb, last week and instead of telling someone, he slept with glass under his covers? What the heck is he thinking?!!! He lost one of his front teeth this week. HE has plenty of other loose teeth as well. I must remember to keep tooth fairy money in the house just in case.

Cameron goes back to the surgeon today to check the healing on his ears. I don't think the stitches would be ready to come out after 3 days but who knows?

Riley's football is in 3rd place. He may be in 2nd if they win the next 2 games. One should be a no brainer as they haven't won any all year. The last game of the season should also be a easy win, but they however have won a few. We just don't want to play the team we lost in the playoffs. We would rather play them in the Superbowl instead.

I acquired a second black cat. I know, you are all rolling your eyes. They look almost indentical. One has a tuft of what at the throat, not much, but nought to notice up close, while the other only has a few white hairs (premature graying at 6 months? lol ) . The new kitty (female has a shorter tail, thicker softer fur and golden eyes. She is a jumper. She loves being up high. Jet, my original and neutered has a very long tail and wiry silky fur. He is playful and attacks anything that moves. Very smart too. When they are running around chasing one another, you have no clue as to who is who. They both want to sleep with you and both wake you up at 4 am to be pet. I will be taking the newest one in for her spaying and shots this next week. A friend of Cameron's begged us to take her, he couldn't have her at his new apt. It has taken 2 days of hissing but I think they like one another now.

Cameron is going to Orlando this Friday for the Horror Nights at Universal Studios. Chris is going to Daytona next weekend for a motorcycle show with a co worker. Me...all I do is taxi everyone, read a few books and go to the store, football on Saturdays. I buy at least 6 gallons of milk a week, a large package of been burritos, cereal by the truck load, ramen or spagettios, some kind of muffin/brownie mix, sandwich makings and goldfish crackers. (Cam and Ri eat them like no tomorrow, and to think I got them thinking Jack might like them) We go thru body spray, sinus/allergy medicine, shampoo/conditioner at an alarming rate as well.
