I love Jack!! Great use of those pallets. So glad to hear you have some resolution at school---I mentioned that to a colleague the other day and they were just as appalled. I kind of understand mom not wanting to be involved---school politics is annoying and I keep to myself for the most part because even though I have been fortunate enough to not ever have gotten into any dramas, there are plenty to go around and teaching is hard enough. You'd think some of these people actually were IN elementary school/high school instead of working there.

so yesterday my DD received a HUGE gift from a boy, Dillian, in her class. He gave her 2 mylar balloons, a huge big gift bag full of candy and 2 stuffed animal. A throw blanket with a matching pillow and a very nice, silver necklace with a Hershey kiss that says "this kiss will last forever." 
We did have a talk last night about her being way too young (she's 10 and will be 11 in April) to have a boyfriend and she needs to let him know that she can't have boyfriends anytime soon. She said "I know mommy and I told him no, 
even though he's asked me twice." 
My sister told me that my DD made some comment to her yesterday at school that my DD wasn't going to kiss the boy even though he gave her all those gifts. 
I think we will have another talk this weekend.
I'm not going to make her give the gifts back this time (she was so excited I just couldn't break her heart and make her cry), but I'll explain to her that if it happens again, she needs to be nice but tell him she can't except any more gifts from him. It's not appropriate at their age. I have no idea why the mother of a 10 year old boy would spend a small fortune on gifts for a 10 year old girl. My mother says she knows the little boy's mother and his mother said she thought it was so cute. -
On one hand I don't mind my daughter receiving gifts from boys - I sure wouldn't object if a man bought me gifts; however, on the other hand, she's about to reach an age where boys are going to start expecting something in return for those gifts and I need to make sure I try my best to nip that in the bud. I do think the opposite sex should spoil us
but not sure that I want MY 10 year old daughter being spoiled already. yes, I know they are only 10, but it's much cuter when it's someone else's daughter - not mine. One hand I think it's nice they spoil us, but on the other hand am I teaching my DD a bad thing my letting her keep such a gift??? Her birthday is April so we will see. Maybe he will move on (hopefully to another planet) and I won't have to worry about it. Boys are so evil. I guess the time that boys have cooties 
is probably coming to a close 
Who knew being a parent was going to be so difficult? I think boys are so much easier that girls.

I think boys and girls are about the same. You will meet pushy and cakniving girls too that you will want to hide your son from.- Thread starter

AP, so true - some of us women can be pretty bad - but for some reason I'm not as afraid of the scanks (and yes, I was one so my "scank" alert should be pretty accurate) as I am those horn dog boys 
Here's our excitement for the weekend. The ex decided he needed to ride my sister's fiancee's dirt bike Saturday night. Richard and the dirt bike vs. pecan tree
shoulder
thigh
knee
shin
foot
pretty sure the foot might be broke - he's at the ER now.
I was so pissed at him. I told him not to, but did he listen????? NOO!!! within 15 minutes of him going outside I hear "Vic I'm hurt!!" and he's laying on the floor in the living room. I got him up, in a hot shower, and put ice on his foot (it wasn't swollen or bruised at the time). By yesterday morning (I had had all night to sleep on it), I was PISSED!! I told him, now I've got to unload feed and haul hay by myself. He got all pissy then and got up and went outside and started doing chores and unloading feed. Once he took his boot off last night and I saw the swellling and bruising, I felt bad (kinda) and told him he need to stay home today and go to the dr or ER, something because the ibuprofen I have at the house is not going to help with that swelling and pain.
He just got checked in to the ER, so we will see.

ok dr says that although it's broke about half way up his foot on the far side of his foot, that technically it's still his pinky toe. So all this for a broken pinky toe!!!! oh, don't think I'm ever gonna let him forget this.
WOW! All that for a broken pinky toe!? WOW!
To support what Pearce said about gossip at schools: Elementary schools are the WORST working environment. Studies/surveys show that between female dynamics, student realted stress, politics and everything else...the most "hostile" work environment someone can work is is ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! WOO HOOO! You have stressed out women working with children who try your last nerves...all day every day! Some schools are worse than others...and I've noticed that as well. Glad you got the situation with your daughter and her teacher worked out.

just got a text from the lady I bought Jack from. I am getting his daughter, Angie from her too. I was supposed to be trading chickens for Angie (full Lamancha born on 1-3-13). I've posted pics. She's precious. anyway I get a text from her this morning wanting to know if I can buy, Angie, her brother and her mother, Emma for $300. She and her husband are splitting up (I don't know if it's permanent or temporary) and she is needing the money. I thinks it's a really, really good deal. I won't keep Angie's brother. Once he gets big enough, I'll either sell him or he'll go to freezer camp.
Well, I was also supposed to be buying a buck from her too; however he's not old enough to be weaned yet. She has asked me to foster him and his mom until he's weaned and then another of her friends will take the doe.
Although I'm very happy to be getting my babies sooner than expected, I'm also very sad for her situation, but I also wasn't expecting 5 new goats (oh, yeah and a donkey) either. Will y'all say a prayer for her and her husband and me and my ex ('cause right now I'm thinking he's wanting to kill me and hide my body for agreeing to all of this)
here's Snow (or I think that's going to be his name)
here's an updated pic of Angie

You keep lucking into pretty goats! 
Sorry they had to come from the previous owners tough situation.
I swear one day I'll have a mini-mancha in my herd. Just have to wait till we get re-situated wherever we end up moving to this year (DH is joining the Army, if you hadn't read it on my journal). I saw a bottle baby that was alpine/lamancha on CL and really wanted her. Her brother had ears but she didn't! So adorable!
Praying for all of y'all.

Yeah, Marlow, I've been reading your journal - but since I have a boss who constantly pops up behind me I don't always have time to post on everyone's journal I follow.
I think you and the kids (four legged and two legged) should move out to my place (15 acres) and we can just help each other out When the boys need a "time out" we can send them out to the back forty somewhere to blow off all that extra steam!!!
We can have our own little community going, so when everyone starts turning into zombie apocalypse happens, we'll be able to hunker down and wait it out!!
I'm so excited about my new babies!!! I told my friend that if she doesn't have a place to go she is more than welcome at my house. She can bring all her 4 legged babies.
