i'm sure i am not the first and probably not the last that will EVER name a monday posting with that title. sorry...sometimes i'm the shepherd and others the sheep...baaaaaaa baaaaaaaa.
i'm posting from work (shhhh!) and it's been a very uneventful day so far. i'm glad but i'm also not. if it's busy then the day flies by at LIGHTING speed but then again, we're busy and taking breaks or eating a hot meal is not something that usually happens. if it's slow then the day drags on FOREVER and you begin to feel stir crazy and that quitting time will NEVER come. You can only chat with your co-workers and eat so many snacks before you want to scream and run for the parking lot.
tonight we have swim lessons for jackson. week #2. so far he has shown great improvement since last summer's lessons. he still doesn't:
1. listen to the teacher. (like EVER - he's too busy in his own little world doing whatever he ever-lovin-wants)
2. let her let go of him AT ALL (she can't even *THINK* of letting go of him) or he freaks out and starts to verbally berate her for not "helping" him. :sigh:
3. allow anyone else to do anything better than him AT ALL. last week they had a race with kickboards and he was CLEARLY pissed off that the kid next to him got across the pool first. (mind you, it was only by a few inches and this kid is as tall as i am - i kid you not) No one can swim, paddle, kick or spash as well as he can and if they DO then he proceeds to tell them why they are NOT better than he is or how they cheated to make him lose.
He's a little guy for his age and most definitely suffers from a Napoleon complex. It's no fun being momma to this little hot-head when he gets into his moods. I pray for my sanity daily and for his well being. I just know one day i will receive a phone call that he either kicked some poor kids' butt for looking at him cross-ways or the opposite - that some kid finally kicked his butt for being the mouthy little turd that he is.
Either way it probably won't be good. And that is my thought of the day. God help my poor mouthy child and his larger than life attitude. He needs all the help he can get.
Back to work for me - happy monday peeps.
