school part one

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!
DOUG DAFFRON IS 51 today..........
WE LOVE YOU DOUGIE!!!!!!!


good morning!!! we thought we were starting the day off perfect by waking at 630 ish and getting ready for school. well mariah did not want to get up much less go to a new school so for those of you who know her very well my morning was HELL... we made it to school a few minutes late but everyone was outside listening to the director give his welcome and introduce all the staff so being late was great because mariah has an opinion about everything and everyone. first we went to the 6th grade huddle and i promptly went to meet drew's teacher MR.MACK . mr.mack seemed very nice and a no nonsense type of guy he shook my hand followed by drews and complimented drew on his hand shake and manners (yeah thats my boy). of course mariah would not say hello to mr.mack she just wanted to know where his hair was and did he plan to go shopping and get more mymymymymy. this kid is to much mr.mack did not hear her but other parents did so we are making good first impressions. i left drew with the class on the courts and went towards the kindergarten building and room. mariah was complaining the entire walk i dont like this school, its hot, i'm thirsty, school is stupid and so on. i just smiled and greeted the parents and other staff on our peaceful walk and thought the entire time "fake it till you make it" i really need a strong drink. into the class we go and meet MS. Vesna . wow, god really loves us because she was an angle so kind, patient, caring, organized and so many more adjectives i could add. she takes charge and the meeting starts and she invites me to pull up a chair and stay. i forgot to mention that mariah was attached to my leg and i guess ms.vesna could see that i was not going anywhere with out a huge fight, so i stayed and we sang songs, did the calender, weather, morning message, went to stations, went the the cafeteria for the morning snack and had a wonderful time. i planned my exit and told mariah that it was time for me to let her be a big girl and do her school work and i would return at 3pm ms.vesna showed her where 3pm was on the clock and off i went. i was amazed no problems and even a KISS. i am so excited about mariahs class she has a total of 8 other classmates and they seem like a great group of little kids.
i got to meet the lower school principal and she told me that she had seen drew and that there are 3 or 4 other drew's and andrews in his class so they had decided to call my drew "drewtwo" or would it be "drew2" he will have to tell me and i will let you all know.
i also ran into him in the cafeteria having snack with his class and he seem very hesitant but i did not hoover because this is not cool, i just quietly asked him how he was doing and he said fine, i told him i loved him and he said me too, as i was walking away he said that he needed a water bottle, i didn't know if i was suppose to go home and bring it back or what so i decided to do the or what and make sure he takes one tomorrow.
i left the school at around 10 and went to spanish school . more on that when i have more time. i have to delegate my girl raquel to defrost the refrigeration (this is new for me) an alot more chores. did i mention she work 6 days a week from 8am until 6pm this is awesome and i wish that we could take her to the states.
part 2 of school will come late and i hope drew wants to blog and share his thoughts.
smiles,
missy
