I have had a major case of the blahs this week. I know it is stress and these issues with kota at school. I am giving the school the benefit of the doubt and involving kota in karate and we start counseling next week. But I do not see this child they talk about here at home. For instance, last night he got in trouble for being impatient about something and ripping open a bag of cereal, by accident. He wanted the stupid spoon that came in the box. But he couldn't wait for Daddy to help him while we put away groceries. So he couldn't have the spoon. He came up to us and asked what could he do for us to show he could be good. So we sent him on different little tasks around the house. Pretty soon he forgot about the spoon. lol But we gave it to him then.
Last night at karate the instructor asked if the two white belts remembered what they did yesterday. They went through the different moves, with only a couple of errors. The whole class applauded for them and cheered. The instructor said he was impressed that they both chose to try rather than say they didn't remember it all. The one thing we need to work on is his kicks. He does not get his leg up high enough in class. And I know he can do better, as we have played around outside pretending we are ninja's. I know it just that he is not completely comfortable performing in front of 'strangers'. But the other people in the class are so supportive and encouraging, so he will get over that in no time.
There are also some issues going on with soldier son but I do not want to discuss that here.
I talked to daughter last night. She had class last night and said she got a phone call from someone at her work. Apparently there was a fire in a store at the other end of the shopping center. It caused the sprinklers to go off in their clothing store, but only in the back area not where out in the store itself. She wasn't sure if they would be open today as the fitting rooms were flooded and there was damage to their stock room. So they are probably doing clean up today. At least the sprinklers didn't go off in the store itself, its bad enough all of the clothes in the stock room were ruined!
well, I was going to write more about why I am blah but don't really see the point anymore. Its going to be a nice day here so I am going to sit outside and read and get rid of my farmers tan.
