Randomness

Hey All!  I don't really feel like going into everything that went on in my day yesterday; nothing too eventful went on, it was just REALLY long. 

My Son had conferences and they went pretty well.  I never get any negative reports from his teachers (LUCKY  FOR HIM) he's a really good kid and always gets rave reviews.  I did hear for the FIRST time EVER that he's been a little chit chatty in class from two of his teachers.  So you know we had a talk about that. Outside of that he's got all A's and B's which is typical for him and, as always, his teachers had nothing but positive things to say. HOORAY!!!

So I'm rushing to get out of his school because it was time for me to pick my Daughter up from school, which is a block away from my Son's school.  We're walking out and there is this woman with her Son just GOING OFF.  M'fing this and M'fing that.  These Son of a B's this and that.  Just going off for a good minute or two all through the building and into the parking lot.  I was SO embarrassed for that kid and couldn't do anything but shake my head.  

I'm still rushing, trying to get to the car and Yall WHY did I fall in the dang parking lot.  I missed my footing stepping off the curb and hit the concrete.  I fell on my knees and scuffed up my DAMN favorite purse and have the beginnings of a whole in my jeans.  UGH!  My knee is SO sore and scraped up it's not even funny.  I did make it to my daughter on time though.  Lol 

And speaking of my daughter......  Her school sent home some paperwork last week about a tutoring program before school.  It said that they chose a select group of students to receive extra tutoring before school one hour a day.  So I'm thinking to myself  'why would they choose her for THIS PROGRAM when she does SO well in school?' She does get frustrated with math sometimes. When I help her I end up getting frustrated because they always incorporate these NEW ways of doing things and we end up going back and forth about the process.  So I figure if she can get some extra help in math it would be a good idea to sign her up. 

On the first day the teacher that runs the program tells her, which I already knew after meeting with her teacher for conferences, that she had the highest CSAP test scores in the school .  She told my daughter that they want to help her and the other kids in the program(who ALL happen to be kids that did well on the test and are bright kids) to do EVEN better on the test this year so they can get into an advanced middle school. 

So NOW I GET IT!  They are taking the kids that excel and giving them extra tutoring so that when the state checks test scores to determine whether her school has made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) these kids scores will basically boost the score for the school and make it look as if they are doing a good job teaching the kids.  Now I don't necessarily have a problem with the extra tutoring, but this is kind of ASS backwards to me.  Why would you NOT focus on the kids that are not doing well and need help to make sure that THEY succeed academically? This is the kind of crap that pisses me off about public schools and confirms the fact that they don't care about the kids.  Don't get me wrong, I know that it's about politics and the teachers and schools basically have to do what the districts tell them to do, but something REALLY has to change. 

It's funny because I think about when we were moving from MN and how concerned her teacher was about whether or not my daughter would be there to take the MCA's .  She straight harassed me trying to get an exact move date from us until she finally came STRAIGHT out and told me why they were wanting her to be there to take the test.  Gotta love her honesty, and she WAS a fabulous teacher.  I don't know why it didn't register when we got the information on the tutoring program.  Ok, enough about that because I will seriously sit here a get heated over this. 

Ok, you guys, I don't know if someone can explain this to me, but it's starting to freak me out.  The Hubby has a tendency to snore, especially when he's tired.  Sometimes if he falls asleep before me and is snoring too bad I have to use earplugs in order to fall asleep.  LOL.  Hopefully he doesn't get mad at me for putting him out there like that, but he knows I love him.  So for the last 3 nights I've used the earplugs and each night I wake up in the middle of the night and they're out of my ears sitting on my nightstand. The first night I was thinking ok, maybe I took them out and just don't remember, but then the 2nd night it happened I'm like there is NO WAY, and then the 3rd night (last night) I wake up and they are in my pajama pants pocket.  IN MY POCKET???  HECK NO!!!!!  That is some CRAZY FREAKY mess!!!! There is NO way I sleep that hard.  I KNOW I don't because I wake up several times throughout the night and every time the baby moves or calls out my name in his sleep I wake up so there is NO way ME moving wont.  That's just TOO weird. 

I had the CRAZIEST dream last night.  It's been awhile since I've had a weird one like this and was just all over the place too.  I don't remember all the details, just bits and pieces.  One part I was on a beach and was being chased by a shark.   I was in the water but was wearing clothes and shoes and the shark was coming after me really fast.  So I get up and start running and next thing I know I'm in a house and the shark is running after me, standing up on his two little end finny thingy's running.  So I'm running in and out of these rooms in this huge house and finally jump up under a bed.  Alicia Keys is in the house and a bunch of other people and she's trying to help me hide.  THEN the shark comes in the room and is TALKING to Alicia Keys.  He has one of those metal detector things and I guess it helps him detect ME cause when he puts it by the bed it starts beeping really fast.  Alicia Keys is trying to convince the shark that I'm not under there and then he flops down on the bed and the bed falls down on me.  It's funny because although I was running and trying to hide I don't remember being scared. 

The dream then goes to me being in an airport and I'm sitting on these long white benches and Alicia Keys is sitting next to me.  I don't know what she did to piss me off but I kept trying to make her go away but she wouldn't.  I got up and went to the bathroom and came back to sit down.  After awhile I noticed I left my purse  (my favorite one that I scuffed up when I fell) in the bathroom and when I went back it was there but something valuable was missing from it.  I don't know what it was, but I was mad it was gone.  There was other valuable stuff in there so we were trying to figure out why they didn't take everything.  It was weird. 

Then it goes to me and the Hubby.  I'm in his office trying to do the "grown folks thang" Lol . He keeps pushing me away telling me to stop and that he didn't want to.  WHAT????  I KNOW I'M DREAMING.  Lol. So I keep trying on different days and he still kept making excuses and then finally started being mean about it.  I keep being persistent and he starts going OFF.  I'm standing there getting mad and trying to figure out what he's saying and then he woke me up.  What's funny is that I was MAD for real for a minute and was thinking to myself, 'I know he IS NOT touching me.'  Lol.

I don't know what those dreams were about, but I guess I shouldn't have eaten before I went to bed.   I always heard it gives you bad dreams.  Lol.
