physical activity

today was a really bad day. i only slept a few hours, and then the marital drama, and so on...

but it sucked for kid #2 and the chosen activity.

when i planned for k#2 to have this type of activity, I thought about FUN. I wanted k#2 to have fun and be happy. I didn't want all the drama and frustration that this activity brings in many cases. I wanted k#2 to explore the body parts, how they move, how they can be fun to work with, how they you can have FUN doing an activity.

for the past 2-3 months this activity has been a big PAIN in the ass. Every single class k#2 has been in time our, or crying with big tantrums. I was like, wtf is wrong with k#2?

i kept k#2 for 2 weeks without going to the activity. the teacher didn't call me to find out the reason for the abcense. That pissed me off b/c k#2 is a toddler and the teacher showed a lot of love and consideration for k#2 in the past.

then, for the past 2 classes k#2 has been crying and AGAIN in time out. So today, a father came and told me k#2 was crying and having a big tantrum on the floor, i went inside the class and took K#2 out from the class and we had a talk.
idk what was going on, but i was very clear: go and apologize and if you don't wanna be in the class we go home.

k#2 went and apologized. Stayed in class.

20 minutes later k#2 comes out yelling and being super upset about something. I still don't know what happened, but the class ended at 630 and it's 11pm and I haven't heard from k#2's teacher. I was SO upset i left the place w/o asking for any explanation, but as soon as I got home i started crying b/c i couldn't believe this has been going on for months.

I only heard k#2's side of the story of what happened, but i would have liked the teacher to call me and kinda explain what was going on. i feel i behaved like a child leaving the building like that, but i'm SO FUCKING TIRED of this situation every.single.class.

the closing show is this saturday. rehearsals for the show are wednesday and thursday. i don't wanna go anywhere. i want to get my money back from the next term's classes. i'm really upset about this whole situation, especially b/c this was supposed to be fun for k#2. I didn't want k#2 to be stressed out or in time out in every single class. I think the class is too big (to start with), but i feel k#2's teacher is being sort of too tough on k#2 and it's not fair. it's not fair b/c k#2 loved the teacher and suddenly the teacher became this not-so-friendly-loving teacher anymore. :(

so

i don't know what i'm going to do. i might not go, or go to sleep and tomorrow is going to be a new day and things will get better and my head will be clearer.

but it sucks.

and i feel so bad for k#2's feelings.

technology

i had to go to costco today and i was extremely surprised to see SO MANY little kids w tablets and phones. i know we, parents, want to shop in peace and do it as fast as we can, but what are we teaching our kids giving them entertainment?

My husband took kid #1 and kid #3 to the store with him. Of course, that meant a total meltdown for kid #3 who is a toddler and want nothing but play and run around. I guess kid #1 behaved b/c when i came home with kid #2, kid #1 was playing w the tablet (i had told kid #1: if you behave and help dad with kid #3 I let you play for 1 hour).

Kid #2 went to Costco with me and we had a great time. Of course, kid #2 wanted to buy all the things and kept touching stuff that wasn't supposed to be touched. but at the end of the whole Costco-oil change-walmart run, kid #2 fell sleep in the car and woke up 2 1/2 hr later. we didn't go to the pool... but it was ok. i had laundry to fold and put away.

i have a cat. Mrs Left Behind. I'll call her Mrs LB from now on. Her previous owners moved to another place and left her here. I have a problem with that, but that's another story.

i have a dog. S. She's a black german shepherd. she needs a bath ASAP. i'm sure she wants to eat the cat.

anyway.

the cat pooped in my bed so now i have to make my bed again. Thank God for washer drier and power.
