Yes, I'm complaining AGAIN. School was out and I wanted them to go back. Now, that school time has arrived, I want to scream! They have not been in school a good month and I swear they need everything.  School supplies, gym uniforms, instruments, lunch money, picture money, fundraising, etc.... I thought school was for learning. I am giving a new name to schools, "Purse Snatchers" sounds more suitable. It has gotten to the point I hate to go home because the kids are sure to ask for something that the schools has requested or suggested.  I think the kids need jobs. Thats it!!!! JOBS !!!!! What happend to the days where the school actually provided most of the forementioned items? Can we go back to those times?

It has been a week since the kids have been out of school and I am so ready for them to go back. Am I the only parent who feels this way? Now I do not want to be mistaken, I love the kids dearly but they can really touch a nerve. Somethings I may have take the blame, because I try to instill manners like... "You need to ask for things before you take it." UGGGHHH!!! Everything that they want they will call and ask can they have it. I guess I should not be complaining, because, some parents do not get the courteousy of receiving a call, instead they just come home to clean cabinets. The repetitiveness of this act will drive any sane mother CRAZY!! Even my officemate (smile). I repeat maybe it is just me, the one with no patience, I am a work in progress.
