Big Cubby has been difficult about going to school the past couple of weeks. I finally got out of him why he was upset. There is this one kid who has been picking on BC. I don’t know if this kid is a bully or this is how he plays. BC is not an aggressive player.
I have now witnessed two occasions where this kid has tried to push BC into a muddy patch by the school door. This first time it was a little girl and BC being pushed. Today was one of those occasions and I stepped in because the kid would not stop pushing BC. I went over and I sounded like a teacher. I said stop pushing. That is mean and someone could get hurt. Get in line the bell is going to ring. Then the bell rang.
The first time this happened was on Tuesday. I waited to see what would happen. It wasn’t excessive pushing like today. BC had a really bad day that day as we found out through parent/teacher conference last night. He refused to do any work. He was then not allowed to go to the computer lab. The teacher did not know about the incident that happened that morning because BC did not tell her.
I guess there have been other incidents going on class. They sit at the same table but starting Monday everyone is getting new seats so BC and this kid will not be sitting next to each other.
I am upset that this is affecting the way BC looks at school. He is a smart kid and the teacher says he does really well. He does have a few things to work on but overall he does get things they are learning.
This makes me sick to my stomach. Hubby and I have talked to him about it. The mama bear in me wants to rip this kid apart for upsetting my son. I have been calm and we are dealing with it on our end.
The teacher is aware that something is going on between the two and is now aware of one of the incidents before school. BC did not tell her about today and he got a note home from the teacher because he pushed a someone out of the way because he was in to big of a hurry to get mail from his box and he kissed a kid in his class. The same kid who he has a problem with. I think he is trying to show the boy that they can be friends oh I don’t know what he is thinking. Rule at school is no hugging and kissing that is for home. We drill this into him because he all ready had a note sent home about that.
BC is a lot like me. We get upset easily. We have nervous stomachs. We are socially awkward. I am shy when it comes to meeting new people and have trouble talking to people. We have only had one play date this year because I am afraid and feel awkward about the whole thing. I know this doesn’t help BC but I get paralyzed with fear thinking about initiate the first move.
I feel like I am screwing him up. UGH, I hate this! I hate this feeling.
What would you do?

Guitar Hero III Hostage
I am a Guitar Hero III hostage. I bought it online and received it last week and now I am addicted. I am only in easy mode and have done 9 out of 42 songs. It is awesome!!! I am so digging it and I am not half bad.
Unfortunely it has led to my slacking off in other areas of my life such as blog, children, husband, just kidding. It is not that bad. Everyone is getting fed around here.
I am a Rock Star!

Carded, weigh loss, vomit
Nice title huh?
Let me started with the weight loss. I took Ladybug to her 6 month check-up and she has lost 9 ounces and hasn't grown an inch since her 4-month visit. The doctor was somewhat concerned so he has put her on besides breastfeeding, cereal 2 to 6 Tbs twice a day, fruit 2 to 4 oz once a day, and vegetable 2 to 4 oz once a day. I have to take her back in a month to be weighed. She has tried two different cereals, bananas, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes so far and really likes them. I don't have a problem with her eating. She does want to nurse a lot and does wake up two to three times a night to nurse. I really think that I may not be producing enough milk. I am not to worried because she is healthy and alert. She is very active in her exersaucer and jumpy thing. But still you don't want to hear that your baby is losing weight. My niece is a little thing and the doctor was always concerned about her when she was a baby and she is fine. She is just a little skinny kid.
We move on to vomit. This morning Big Cubby complained about his head hurting and so we gave him some water thinking he might be dehydrated and just shortly after he threw up the water. He said he was dizzy. I called him absent to school and now he is lying on the couch. I looked up the symptoms and he could possibly have a migraine. It runs on my husband's side of the family. My mother-in-law and husband get them. I am trying not to panic. He is afraid to drink or eat anything because he does not want to throw up. I am keeping a eye on him the rest of the day.
Carded. Yesterday Hubby had an event for work close to home so when it was over he came home for the rest of the day. This allowed me to go out and have some Mommy time and get a break. I went to Chili's to have lunch by myself. I took the book I am reading right now, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, and took a seat. The waiter comes over and asks me would I like a drink while a looked over the menu. I ordered a beer and water and then he asks to see my ID. At first I thought he was trying to get a big tip from me by flattering me but that was not the case. Two women were seating behind me and when he went over to greet them the first thing he offered was a alcohol beverage. I noticed he did this to a few other tables that the people looked older. He did not offer me an alcohol drink. I was officially carded. The other people were not. This so totally made my day. I did give him a big tip because he made a 35 year old mother of three feel young.
Need to go and check on Big Cubby.

tooth, potty and beyond
Ladybug's tooth finally cut through and she is feeling better. Just in time for more teeth to come in. She has been sleeping well the past few nights. I still have to do her six month update on here. I am just going to wait until tomorrow because she has a doctor's appointment for 6 month check-up.
On to the potty. For a while now we have been trying to introduce the potty to Little Cubby. He is very resistant to this process. We have not pushed him just mention it. I bought him a potty just for him because he was scared of the big potty. He knows all the terms about potty and he even tells us when he as gone.
Well, last night was the last of the regular diapers for him. This morning when I changed him I put a Pull-Up on him instead. He totally freaked out about it. He tried to take it off and kept looking around for his diapers. I told him there were no more diapers and we have to use the Pull-ups from now on or he can use the potty. He finally calmed down over the Pull-ups at least until I have to change him and put another one on him.
He still wants to be the baby even though he says he is not a baby. This kid is stubborn.
I am so behind in blogging. I have been wanting to write about goals I have for 2008 and some of the things happening in my life but it has been exhausting keeping up with three kids and a husband. Trying to fit everything I need to do in a day has been very hard. So please hang in there and don't desert me. I really need you guys. As sad as it sounds, you are the only friends I have right now. I really appreciate your support.

Exhaustion
Sorry everybody I haven't been around the past week. We have a teething baby on our hands and is waking up all night for the past week. One tooth is finally cutting through I can feel it. I hope that all the first four are coming in at the same time and not just this one. What we have been through for this to be only one tooth I will just scream.
From the walking dead I am out!
