WHAT a day~ Shopping and school drama




Todays purchases...

WHOOP WHOOP~

I am excited about all the great deals and great items I am able to add to my stockpile and pantry for the family.

Now on to school issues. The last day before school ended for Christmas break, Bigt had a knife pulled on him at school. He wasn't hurt physically or anything and once we came back to school the young man ended up getting expelled for it. The same day (Monday) a girl in bigt's 2nd period class came up to him and kept messing with and picking on him to the point he touched her on the shoulder asking if they needed to talk about it. He ended up getting suspended for 3 days. That is ok, if she receives some sort of punishment for the crap she does/said to him. He isn't being punished much at home other than to tell him he can't put his hands on other people, even if he doesn't mean harm. Those things (hands) are only to be used at home, with loved ones and on the football field.

Just pray he will not take fear into his schooling with these situations. We want him to be himself but not breaking any school rules.

Forgot to add that on top of it all I got my car back last night, only to have it break down AGAIN ~ grrrr~

I am excited about how much money I have been able to save... so far this year.

$1967.80 balance remaining for the year.
