Weekend update: What did you accomplish?
Hip, Hip, Hooray! My son's invitation are finally done! I was really procrastinating on these. The party is on the 17th! If I want anyone to come, I really need to distribute them.
I also managed to grocery shop and go to target and get some laundry done. I even went to Michael's and spent less than $25 to get ready for my scrapbook weekend. This probably means that I already have too much stuff. LOL
Soccer was foggy, but not as cold as last week. The Catholic team was unsportsmanlike. That's all I'm going to say about that. Infer what you want to infer from that comment.
I have to share what happened at swim lessons with you as I was complete infuriated and nearly killed that slow talking bitch of a teacher.
Usually the kids swim from the shallow end to the deep end and then back to the shallow end with the teacher along side of them. This allows for them to remain in the shallow end and return to the shallow end.
For some unknown reason Slow talking bitch decided to tell them to stay in the deep end while she went all the way back to the shallow end to get the next swimmer. My son misunderstood and started to swim back to the shallow end. The teacher was no where near him.
He is in level three. He can swim somewhat, but he still panics very easily. He is now about 10 feet from the back wall and 30 feet from his teacher who is already in the shallow end oblivious to the fact that he is treading water in 12 foot.
I yell from the balcony to him and tell him to swim to the side. He can't. He is in a full panic. As you know, I have a serious fear of my kids drowning. I'm about to jump off the balcony. I yell to the other instructor who is in the deed end on the other side of the pool and thankfully she swims over to him and puts him on the side.
He was close to tears but I'm proud to say that he got back in the water.
Slow talking bitch never once asked if he was okay. Never once showed any emotion about the entire incident.
After the class I went up to her and asked her if she was aware of what happened as she was oblivious to everything and was in the shallow end and she said, "He didn't listen to the directions."
WTF! He didn't listen to the directions.
Oh, I must not have read the small print where it says you can let him drown if he doesn't follow the directions.
I have a call into her boss and my little man will no longer be swimming her Slow talkers class.

Weekend update: baseball, picnics, swimming and ear pain
On Saturday we had a company picnic at a local ballpark. The kids had a good time. Above is a picture of the girls with Charlie Slider. My son still isn't real wild about giant costumed characters and he didn't want to get in the picture. We had wonderful weather for the game and the picnic was really nice. To top it off it was Webkinz night at the stadium and everyone under 12 received a free one. The kids were very excited about it. You can see their dogs in the photo.
This is the section we sat in but we weren't lucky enought to catch a fly ball. The game was pretty good, though there were some silly errors that I thought you only saw in little league.
Sunday we had T-ball and soccer tryout. We spent part of the afternoon at the pool.
I've been fighting with some ear pain on and off for the last 10 days and finally yesterday decided that I was going to chop of my ear. The entire side of my face hurts. I feel miserable. I had my husband look at it and my ear canal is swollen shut. I think I had a little cut in there about the size of a paper cut and now it is thoroughly infected. I'm off to the doctors this afternoon for further torture. I'm pretty sure that if he so much as touches it I'm going to scream! I'm hoping for antibiotics and pain medication!
Seriously, it hurts almost as much as labor.
