So the story goes

Boy, this month is getting away from me. There has been so much to do it has become too stressful. Here are a few updates from the week.

Tuesday I had my doctor's appointment. I have gained 3 pounds since the last appointment. I got to hear the heartbeat which took longer to find then I would have liked but there it was beating great. I have been having muscle cramps in me upper abs and the doctor said the more pregnancies you have the more common this happens. I guess I should have exercised before this baby. It hurts a lot especially after holding Little Cubby for a period of time. This pregnancy has been rougher on me then the other two. Exhaustion, aches and pains everywhere, hormones through the roof so I cry at everything and get pissed off easily, and a lot of stress right now. Aren't you glad you are reading this?

I talked about in the last post about Big Cubby being invited to a birthday party that takes place while he is in his extension class. Well, Hubby and I decided to keep him in the class instead of going to the party. Several reasons why and you get the pleasure of reading them.

1. We just got a note saying one of the teachers is leaving the school due to conflict in teaching philosophies. This is Big Cubby's favorite teacher. She co-teaches the class and she teaches the extension class. She also has two children in the class. Her little girl is Big Cubby's best friend. I am devastated she is leaving. Big Cubby does not like the other teacher. She is kind of a bitch. So, this would be the last extension class the teacher would be teaching and we wanted BC to have that.

2. I am pissed at the mom's who planned this party for today. You see there are two extension classes one on Wednesday and one on Friday. There are more kids in the Wednesday class then Friday. I felt that they were only thinking about themselves and not being considerate that there was another class. Couldn't they have had this party on Thursday when there was no school and everybody could have attended or how about a weekend? They expected the kids to skip this class. I am sorry but we pay an extra $50 for this to help BC get ready for Kindergarten and we don't get pro rated if we miss it. We don't have that kind of money to throw away like most of the parents at this school.

3. This party is so close to Christmas that would have been a strain to buy two presents for these kids. I can barely buy gifts for my kids and my niece. Hubby and I don't even buy each other anything. Things right now are really tight.

4. This goes with number three, Big Cubby doesn't even like one of the boys who the party is for. This kid is a bully and has pushed BC down and has done other stuff to him. BC is adamant about not being around this kid. The other boy that the co-party is for BC does like but not when he is around this other kid. So I don't want to waste getting a gift for a kid that BC doesn't even like. This probably not the right attitude but this is a big world and I am not going to make BC be friends with some that he is afraid of.

So, you see I have bitched and moaned. The mom's have probably talked about me behind my back but I don't really care. The majority of them I don't have anything in common with. I am punk rock in a preppie world and I am ok with that. I have always read about mommy cliches but never had to experience that living in the city but now here in the burbs it is a real thing. I thought just being a mommy was all you needed to be in the club but that isn't the case. I wasn't popular in school and I am not now.

That is ok because I have all of you blog friends in my life and we may be all over the US but I feel like you are right here with me. Thank you for all of your support and love. You guys ROCK!
