Not as Easy as I Thought.......

Just like the title says.....keeping up with this is not as easy as I thought.  What was I thinking, um hello its called "single parent" for a reason....I'm single, I have loads to do and no time to do it.  Oh but a blog will be easy, its something you WANT to do and at the end of the year you can look back and read about how great 2011 was....suuuuuurrrreee.  I have no time to scoop the cat box (which is not even my job at home but I do it).  

Lets see I haven't written since 1/6 and since then all has been well with the exception that apparently my daughter did not learn her lesson about chain mail and passing them on and that no one really wants them.  Apparently she passed one on to my sister that said "if you don't pass this on within so many days to so many people you will see a dead little girl in your dreams"...she passed this on to my sister, who just had a baby.....a daughter....I wanted to bonk her in the head and say "remember how scared you were???".  We did talk about it and I think she understands now...I think....I'm not sure.  I did tell her if she got anymore like that she needed to let me know who was sending them so I could have a talk with them.  She is a kid after all and if it turns out to be one of her 10 year old friends I will be having a talk with their parents....does anyone watch out and monitor what their kids are doing besides me?  I mean granted I make mistakes but everyone does but I do my best to keep my kids safe.  Jeez! 

Basketball FINALLY started up again thank goodness.  We had practice an games last week...practices went well and wore the kiddies out and they slept good.  Games did not go so well.....both kids lost and my son fouled out trying to foul a kid that kept knocking him down.  Totally backfired.  I felt bad for him but still he did his best and like school work that is all I can ask for.  Speaking of school work report cards came in and both did well.  Some grades dropped for my daughter which concerns me a bit because she has always been and A student and on the A Honor Roll...this semester she is on the AB Honor Roll.  She is pretty upset but her math classes are getting more difficult and so are her tests.  We are gonna work on some things to strengthen her skills and see where that goes.  I always tell them that it is the last report card that really counts.  Grades can change throughout the year due to things that go on in your life and how difficult the subjects are you are learning about so we shall see where the end of the year leaves us.
