I THINK I'M GONNA LIVE

I finally feel like I am going to live. NO I am no being a drama queen! I have been really sick. Sunday I got a migraine that didn't leave until the wee hours of Monday morning. So Monday I felt like a slug all day. Tuesday I wake up feeling upset in my stomach and hurting in my back which proceeded to get worse until the heaving started. It went all through the night. I felt like I was hit by truck all day and now at midnight I am starting to feel like I am going to make it. I was worried that I was having trouble with my kidney(s) again. I guess once you have had a bad time you always have that worry.
On another note: since mom had to take care of Dalton for me (Denny has a sprained ankle) she stated that Dalton had mentioned Buckie and some other name that she could not remember who he claims is Buckie's friend. Buckie lives!!

WHERE IS BUCKIE?

Where is Buckie? I guess you may be asking who is Buckie? Buckie is/was Dalton's imaginary bull. Yes, I said bull. Remember we lived on a small farm. Dalton has played farm from the time he could walk and talk. Sometimes Buckie was not imaginary. He was right there. He was a book or a toy or anything else he could get his hands on to call Buckie. We had a real bull named Buck. I guess Dalton needed one to call his own and one he could get his hands on. Our living room (at the old house) as had so many barn stalls and electric fences running thru it! I just realized last night that it had been a while since I heard Dalton talk about Buckie. This may be the end to his imaginary friend Buckie. Please pass another tissue. :(

OUR SON THE COMEDIAN

I wish everyone could see Dalton's sense of humor. It comes right out of no where and hits ya when you least expect it. I am going to tell you about today's funny-with a bit of what happened previously before it all happened.
Back when we had our farm and had horses and I rode horses, I bought a pair of spurs for my boots. I think I wore them once and couldn't stand to use them on the horse so they went on a shelf because they are pretty and decorative. I now use them as decoration in our half bath because that is my cowboy themed room. Dalton had them the other day and asked Denny what they were. Denny told him "they are your mom's she used to be a cowgirl." And he left it at that. NOTHING ELSE HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT IT SINCE. Today Dalton says "dad, mom used to wear these when she was a cowgirl?" Denny said "yea she rode bulls." Dalton came back with a chuckle and said "GRANNY BULLS" That funny little snot! I've been on a bucking horse before and I was thrown off. Not by choice.
Dalton stays so reserved around other people and most do not get the chance to see him open up like he does at home. What a shame.

WHAT A GREAT WEEK

Our first week of Kindergarten is done and over with and he can't wait to start his second! yipee! He came to me this morning to tell me that after tomorrow is school again! I am blessed to have a child who likes school and judging from the smiley faces he is doing well. He says he plays with girls mostly and he has 2 girlfriends: Aubrey and some girl in his class. aww how sweet
I would like to be a fly on the wall just for one day from the time he gets out of the car until the time he gets back in. Why? Because he says he can't remember what all he does at school. I expected these kind of answers when he gets older but HELLO Kindergarten?
I don't think I have mentioned that I joined the PTO. Yep, I've joined the PTO. I'm a member of the PTO. That is all I can say about it because I have no idea what it is all about. LOL But is sure seemed like the thing to do. I am waiting for instructions on what it is the PTO does.

IST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN 08/18/08

Ok, I guess you can tell I had to make some adjustments to my blog because I accidentally made it non secure for my child. This blog either has a glitch or isn't clear on how to take out a picture once it is posted so I had to delete the original blog on the first day of Kindergarten and re-do it but it will not let me put it back where it belongs. If anyone else knows how to do these things please tell me.

Dalton loved his first day of school. He said he has the best school ever and he loves his teacher. What a relief!! And I did pretty well myself! lol

DAY FOUR AND ALL IS WELL

It is day four in the life of a Kindergartner and everything seems to be great. He still loves his school and teacher and he comes home with smiley faces on his work every day. It is hard to get him to talk about his day. Dalton will first say I can't remember and then when we keep asking him questions I guess it starts to come back to him. On Tuesday Dalton said "I was so mad today!" When we questioned why he said "there was this boy who got into trouble and was sent to time out and then he spit all over the walls! FOR NO GOOD REASON!" While biting the insides of my cheeks trying to control my laughter over his theatrics I had to ask "why did that make you mad?" At this point his face is all scrawled up, his hands going 90 mph while he is talking (wonder where he got that from?) and his eye brows are moving up and down with his gestures. He claimed that the little boy didn't need to do that and it was gross. ahhhhh one more day I'm glad I can say "thank goodness it wasn't my child!"

WE (I) MADE IT THRU THE FIRST DAY

Ok, so I have emotionally drained myself. It wasn't on purpose. It just happened. I guess I should be thankful Dalton has a late birthday..I have had 6 years to prepare for this instead of 5. I picked up Dalton at school and he wouldn't let me take any more pictures. :-( That little stinker! I told him I couldn't wait to get home and hug and kiss him and he said"mom do ya always have to be doing that to me?" ugh!!!! He is in Kindergarten 1 day and he has lost his affection?????? I was told to hang on to it as long as I could because boys get to where they don't want to show any "mushiness" toward anyone. Thank goodness when we got home he had a memory lapse and showered me with hugs and kisses!!!!!! That's my boy! Dalton said this really is the best school ever! And I can't forget to mention that my wonderful neighbor Dana, who is the speech pathologist (I think) checked in and talked with Dalton at lunch and gave me a call to let me know he was doing great. aaahhhhhhh That really made me feel good. I spent as much time as possible away from the house today in hopes that I wouldn't sit and cry all day. I managed to get a few things done like get my truck and bug their new Ar. tags and my drivers license changed. Thank you state of Arkansas for changing the laws on out of state transfers! lol That was for you honey!!
