Oh Lala, Lala, Lala

what on God's green earth am i going to do with you. love you dearly & there's no doubt about that but sometimes you take to a place that makes me wonder if we are related @ times.

friday was movie night @ her school, we had a wonderful evening watching "the witches". i sat with vincent & she sat with her girlfriends all the way in the back. after the movie ends, i tell her to put on her sweater & jacket. of course, she tells me that her sweater is in her backpack so i look @ the backpack & see that it looks kind of empty. i open the bag & she admits that she lost it {as usual} of course I am pissed. wait, it gets better... while on the train going home, i realize that Lala doesn't have her hannah montana purse with her. i ask & she tells me that she gave me the purse while she was hanging out with her friends, i think for a minute & remember that she did no such thing because I had a benefits fair earlier & had a bag full of information & goodies. the only thing i had was her iPod because i saw her friend L with it & she knows that i don't want anyone listening to it. since she doesn't have it & i didn't have that meant that she left in school, you know i was pissed because she lost almost $200.00 worth of stuff in that bag. her DS & all her games, her lotion, wallet & money were in the bag. she's on punishment even if the purse shows up.

saturday mornings we are both in class, so when picked her up after class S {a parent & member of the PTA} handed the purse over to me. after i thanked her she explained how she came about getting the purse {everything was in there}. Lala's friend B saw some girl with the purse & told S that some girl had Lala's purse & was about to leave the school. S stopped the little girl & explained to her mother that the purse her daughter had was not her's & that she needed to hand it over.

yesterday, i find out from S that during after lunch she had to help Lala find her brand new winter coat because she missplaced it. on my way to pick her up the only thing i could was pray that she had found it. while looking through the lost & found, she came across the sweater she lost on friday. though she has both items, her punishment has been extended till January.
no DS, iPod, costume for Halloween, we are not going to see HSM this friday as planned, no tv, no music, will not participate in any activities @ school, and if she loses another thing--she can forget about Christmas.

Greetings Again

I know that I've been a bad girl & haven't written in such a long time. No real reason except that I have been busy with school, tending to Lala {who thinks she's grown}, mommy's still in town, Rodney {older brother} just got laid off & just recently got a new job and of course, the everyday thing that happens to each and everyone of us.....LIFE.

School, my Professor almost made me cry three classes ago. She felt that all I do is rant, in class & in my writing assignment's. She also didn't seem to be to excited that I had already read "Of Mice & Men" for the fifth time & hadn't learned anything new from reading it yet again. Sorry but after reading the books more than three times & having discussions in class, there is anything new to learn if it's already been discussed & you've written papers on the book.

Mommy, love the woman to pieces, even to death but she has got to go back to DR. I am planning on buying her ticket after I come back from DR in January. I understand that she wants me to spend plenty of time @ her house with Lala, but I do have a life that I need to continue to live. Will miss her dearly when she leaves though but lets be honest here, she doesn't want to be here anymore than I want her to stay. I am glad that her knee replacement surgery went well, now she'll be able to stay in DR without having to worry about anything serious. All she needs to do is come for an annual check-up or if she feels that something is wrong. She is getting her last physical exams & prescription meds together so that she doesn't have to come back for awhile.

Over the summer, Vivian {my God sister} & the kids moved to Delaware :-(
She had reasons to move out there, I wish her & the kids the best out there & they know that they are missed greatly over here. It's strange, we've been together since we were four--pre K, Kinder, Catholic School {1st-6th grade}, different JHS, HS, & Colleges but in the same borough of New York. It was hard @ first, not being able to just jump on a train to go to her house & chill for the weekend. Lala misses them all, especially Sully {my Goddaughter}, their is a 6 year difference but they love each other's company. We will be visiting them for Thanksgiving, so Delaware here we come.

As for me, I am working things out with my long distance boyfriend in DR, staying focus in school, saving money, thinking of changing jobs but staying @ the University, thinking on relocating to Florida or maybe even Delaware {Vivian says I'll love it out there} and most importantly, reevaluating my friendship with certain people. Only time will tell what will happen, but I promise to keep you posted.

Ciao

Robin Hood Lala, I Think Not!!!

today Lala decided to be Robin Hood, her version of course is way different then the orginial.
as we all know, when you take something to school & you shouldn't {after many verbal warnings}it gets confiscated until the end of the school. so Miss Robin Hood & two of her other friends decided that instead of practicing for the Talent Show they would go help M find his ball. M convinced them that they can go back to class get the ball & that H can get her DS back as well. Lala {miss adventurous} decided that that was a great idea & that since school was almost over, they will return whatever they found in the crate back to its rightful owner.

however, tweedle dee, tweedle doo, & tweedle fool {Lala the fool}, should have realized that there was no way they would have gotten away with it. they start handing back things to the kids & of course the kids start thanking them & playing w/their returned items. when the teacher so that the kids were not paying attention, she went over to them to see what was going on. kids being kids, they told the teacher who gave them back their stuff & low & behold----I get a phone @ work from her teacher.

Lala is now on punishment, she will not allowed to attend the Afterschool Annual Party on Friday & I am pulling her out of the Talent Show. this is the price she has to pay for her actions, her teacher has asked them to write down what their consequence should be--she's thinking but her punishment as I said before is: she will not participate in the Talent Show, as well as no iPod, no tv, DS, PSP, no phone calls or use of the computer

A Wonderful Week

This week was spent just wonderful, my little brother & niece came for a visit (live in West Palm Beach). My niece just turned 2 on May 16th & boy is she something else, Lala had so much fun with her, she was bathing her, making sure she had milk or juice, feeding her & changing her diapers. The whole time she kept telling me how good she's doing taking care of her baby cousin, hint-she wants a brother/sister. She will have to wait like I told her, I just went back to school & it's kicking my ass.

I am only taking one class & the shit is crazy. I have 3 reports due: a management report, company report & a book report. On top of these reports, I have to read a book on management for my book report & the required Chapter reading for class. One chapter is anywhere from 36-50 pages long. So much information to learn & remember, the good thing is that the authors of the book have a website with tons of information from the book, especially the powerpoint presentations :-). the slides are the best for me & help with class & makes the reading more understandable as to what I really need to focus on for my midterm & class discussions.
