Day started out okay today. But soon fell apart - AGAIN. I got a call from the daycare that my g/s was acting up again. He was written up twice on Friday. I decided that the "time out" thing wasn't working, so I decided to try a new approach today. I guess sometimes we just need to stop and listen before we judge. See, I thought, since they were the adults, I should always believe them and didn't give my g/s a chance to explain. I did the opposite today. I told him that we would go to lunch, just mawmaw and him, and then asked him what happened. Apparently he and 2 other boys were playing and it sounds like to me he just got over excited and ended up hurting one of the boys. Not bad. They were playing with a dinosaur, he got "bit" first by one of the boys (by the dinosaur, not the boy), they all laughed, then CJ "bit" another boy (with the dinosaur) but apparently just pushed a little too hard. Of course, they (teachers) all assumed he was being mean and he was asked to leave for the day. I just wonder how many times this has happened in the last month and a half when he has been making "bad choices"............
We had a very nice lunch, and now we are off to play Candyland and Chutes and Ladders.
Talk to all of you later, and THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
Guess I just need to work on myself a little to try to understand them a little more....

Teachers can be so damn petty sometimes. There are times they need to worry and sometimes the problem is not really a problem at all.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
