I'm Just MOM.......

4 days into the school year and "LET THE GAAAMES BEEEGINNNNN" . I don't DO good cop Bad cop. I NEVER promised to be the good/fun/likeable mom. I just promised to be mom. I have a harsh standing rule to the whole being "too sick to go to school" routine. If you aren't Broken, Bleeding, Burning or Throwing up...........you are going to school. Kids are GREAT at coming up with aches/hurts/ and problems that you can't see, hear or touch. SO, (due to past experiences) I had to lay down a firm rule. I keep it for both my children. I don't want one feeling they can start taking advantage of a situation over another. Apparently, My youngest didn't like the rules I had for her staying home from school over here(on her father's day). Daddy "decided to stay home" from work, thus keeping Hazel home with him (GASP) on HIS timeshare day. WELL, she got HER day off. Sorry, that's not me. I never promised to be the fun one. I just promised to be the responsible one that will make sure the girls are taken care of. Most of the Girls' track record of absences have always fallen on HIS days off. Just wanted to get that out there and out of my head. I feel better now. Thank you (for reading my vent).
