Thursday, February 10 started out as any other day. Got Things 1 and 2 dressed and out the door with Berry to be dropped off at Sweetie and Papa's. Sweetie and Papa drop them off at Screven Elementary. I headed out to Martha Puckett to start my day and go to the Wayne Co. Spelling Bee. I went to the Bee, ate lunch, and then headed back to the school. I went in my classroom, checked my email, and that my friend is where the day went down hill. On my email was a message from Coach B. , PE teacher/coach at SES asking if I had seen and signed the note that was sent yesterday afternoon.... ummm.. what note??? In between emails, I received another email from Nurse S. with a scanned attachment of said note that this Mom didn't see. Opened the attachment..... yep... there's the note....but..... those initials weren't mine or Berry's. Upset? Oh yeah. Mad? not mad..LIVID. Got things squared away for my students and headed to SES.
At SES --- walked into the office. The Principal at SES is fantastic and just simply asks why am I there. Why am I here? My child.. at which I get a chuckle because Dr. P is on good terms with Thing 1. I borrow the paddle and office so Dr. P can call Thing 1 to the office. Keep in mind -- Thing 1 has no idea I was on my way. I could hear the flop flop flop of those Flintstone feet of his and hear "Is my Mama here?" all excited and stuff -- until---
he saw my face which immediately crumpled. The convo. went something like this:
Me: did you forget to give me something yesterday?
T1: yes ma'am
Me: why?
T1: I forgot
Me: so you decided to sign it yourself?
T1: head bobbing at this point -- are you going to paddle me?
Me: yes
T1: am I going back to class after you paddle me?
Me: yes and your DS, Wii, and laptop is mine for two weeks
T1: tears and a contrite Yes ma'am
Thing 1 was paddled then loved on because that's what we do
Sweetie, Aunt Holly, and most everyone else has gotten a HUGE kick out of this. By the way, I now have the note and the initials were written in green marker -- go figure
It's an adventure! Stay tuned for more.
