Wow time has flown

My SIL just sent me her blog link and it inspired me to at least try and keep up with my own. It's been nearly a year since I posted though. I usually use myspace..lol. Today I did nothing. Literally nothing. I have a buttload to do but I feel like arse. I quit smoking and I feel tired and cranky and I'm coughing. I forgot how fun this stage of quitting was...LOL. Matt and I went to pick up Zach from school today. It's so much like a high school there. Not in the actually school but with all the parents standing in there little cliche's I fit in nowhere. I hate picking him up. I feel so out of place. Most of my friends don't have children or if they do they have them Ashlee's age so I don't know anyone there. And you can't just join up with another group they deflect outsiders. Sounds silly I know. But I've seen them do it. Even Matt remarked on how that happens. At any rate so I was standing with matt and Ash and Zach's class came out. He apparently has been doing really good in his journal. They have these little journals they have to write and draw in everyday and Zach has been just scribbling in his. Well the teachers told us during Parent-Teacher Conferences that he should be doing more in there and they explained what it is they expect out of him. So we sat him down and long story short he's not drawing pictures with a story to go withit!! I'm so proud of him!!! On the way home we were all talking Zach as ususal was up ahead running home (that boy is FAST) well the crossing guard all of the sudden said "BOYS CUT IT OUT" and 2 boys pass us arguing. One was taunting the other one. Well I look over and the little boy whose being teased was crying and so upset he couldn't ride. So I got down to his level and asked him if he was ok. He was in the 3rd grade. I asked him if he wanted me to walk him home and he said yes so Matt and the kids went on ahead and I walked this little boy home. He was crying most of the way. I managed to cheer him up before we got him but once he saw his mom he broke down again. He said his mom thinks everyone is nice to him at school and from what he had told me this boy was pretty much a regular bully to him. Pushing him off his bike and making fun of him in recess. I asked him how he handled it did he get upset and cry everytime. And he said yes I said well you can't do that. He said well my mom said it was natural to cry I told him it was but that he couldn't show that boy how much it was upsetting him or the boy would never stop. I told his mom where he lived and hopefully she'll come talk to me once he calms down to get the whole story about what the boy was saying on the way home. I also really hope that she will talk to the boys parents and make them aware of how there son is behaving.
