Yes that’s right my pre k son Jorge went to the principal. Apparently, he decided that he liked his friend’s crayons. He told his friend - he had none so she gave her to him. The teacher heard and told him not to lie. Jorge threw a tantrum. The teacher sent him to the vice principal. He convinced her he was living some sort of deprived lifestyle (did i mention he got an Ipod when he turned 5 & yes it is no longer his thanks to the lies) and she gave him more crayons. He is in such trouble. He is going with Jim to apologize for his lies tomorrow.

Yamile had some kind of bizzarre after lunch tantrum herself. She ran around and would not listen. She is suspended for 2 days.

What has come over my children. They are normally really good. They have not been sleeping well so tonight we sent them to bed at 7:15pm. We are going to keep this early to bed schedule for a while and see if that changes anything.

They were both very sorry for themselves when they had to come home and clean their rooms and not play and think about what had happened.

Good night and God Bless,

a very tired Gina

Yup,

It has been quite a while. Things are going well here in Virginia. We really like it here. The people are so nice. I do admit though that I miss my friends, Monica, Heather, Lee, Sharon.  I feel like I really don’t have any way to make new friends, working only part time. Usually I make friends where I work. This part time thing though leaves very little time to actually get to know the people that I am working with. Oh well…..

The kids have made friends. Jorge talks about Sonya, Kalvin, Ariana in school a lot. It’s nice. Yamile also talks about the kids in school, Unhye, Sayid, and many others. It is really nice to hear that the kids are bonding with those around them.

Our land lord died recently and they may sell the house we are renting. I hope if they do we can buy it or move to a house in the same area. I don’t want the kids to have to go to new schools. Like I said they are beginning to make friends and it is really really great.

Good night and God Bless,
Gina
