Learn how to spend money. Her teacher's name was Gina. ;)

I more or less made her take this. It teaches you how to balance a check book, calculate interest, monthly payments, how to invest money to earn money. They had to make a budget and learn to live within it. Unfortunately...they only ended up in the hall when they got evicted for not paying the rent. :rolleyes:

Alright! WHO took my pen?... it didn't just walk away (another one of mom's lines) :mad:

Fine....I'm leaving now anyway!! (picture hmphh smiley here)

Off to graduation I go:exclaim: I will breathe a big sigh of relief when (if) they call my sons name tonight...he pushed it to the very end with English...but the 94 on the cannibal video gave him the boost that he needed...anyhoo...long story short the stupid school he goes to gave him credit for a required class he didn't take...I called the school at the start of this year and told them he had to take that class...they said..Oh don't worry about that he has already taken that class he has credit for it....told them nope look again...yes maam he has credit for that class it is taken care of :eek: After talking with 3 guidance counselors they showed me he had the credit I asked them well can't it dissapear as mysteriously as it appeared? No maam once it is in there it can't be taken out :eek: Anyhoo...my nightmare has been that on the day of graduation they go "Oops guess what":mad: So at 8:00 tonight when they call his name...I going to go like this :yay_jump: :yay_jump: :yay_jump: even though they ask you very nicely to not be obnoxious :rolleyes: when your childs name is called! (JK I will not :yay_jump: on the outside :rolleyes: just the inside)

Hmmmm, your light is still on.

And I think every parent breathes a sigh of relief when they hear their kid's name called at graduation....don't :yay_jump: on the outside...go ahead be obnoxious...they only graduate once from HS...do your part...embarass him. ;)

I agree,, GO for it! He deserves it..:rolleyes:
But don't make a :fortune: out of yourself...

I say go make a :fortune: out of yourself too. Heck, he only graduates once.

Congrats!!

You all better get drunk (even Gina) if AK posts my singing! Even THAT won't make it sound good. Now dd is trying to tell me, no, now that she "thinks" about it, she didn't send the wrong one to AK. She is sure she only sent her own. A slow, painful death is in her very near future!

You people are sick. That looks exactly like what it is: a fortune cookie.
Want to hear my fortune cookie story? (Don't I always have a story?)
Used to work with this older woman who was very prissy. You couldn't say anything in front of her. (butt, crap, nothing) or you would get attitude. so, one night we ordered chinese food. I opened her cookie and inserted my own fortune. (Went through about 5 before I did it without breaking) Anyway, it was filthy, if I must say so myself. We made sure she got that one and when she read it her head almost blew off of her body. She was stomping around and "how dare they?" and "I'm going to call this place and give them a piece of my mind" and she was reporting them. (to whom, I could not tell you).

we got a great laugh out of it. She never did find out it was me. Well, I'm sure she knew, but she never said anything to me about it.

You tell that story and We're sick?! :rolleyes: lol

I second that see YOU did need the butt crack smiley afterall. I will do the same thing in two weeks.

DD just got the art award....:D :D . That offically makes all 3 of my kids winning the art award. They may not be able to spell but heck they sure can draw....

MIddle son still at swim/picnic, in the pouring rain and it's a whopping 60 degrees outside only 4 hrs left..

DD only got 5 pages of homework tonight. I see the teacher is cutting back with only 1 full day of school left.

:eek: You're kidding right!? That's crazy!

Good Job with the Art awards.. I did great in art.. always got in shows, Something in school I actually enjoyed. Should have went to Art School.:(
Anyhow... Good for them!

I have been told by my kids please don't sing.. I am not allowed to sing in the car. At home. When DD was about 3 she told me Mommy please don't sing to me anymore. It's really bad.:eek: :eek: In dancing school we were going to sing with our dance until teacher heard.. WHOLE class sung like me. Needless to say we aren't allowed to sing there either.

Teri love the fortune cookie story. Reagan from the exorcist came to mind with that one.

We still have our grave rubbing report due. Did part II yesterday. Need historical marker rubbings. We got the battle of SPANKTOWN:eek: :eek: .. Teri did you know that Rahway Park was called SPANKTOWN during the revolutionary war. Kinda makes you think maybe those Puritans weren't soo PURE afterall.

No, I did not know that! That's what happens when your district spends the last 2 weeks of school watching videos! DD told me marking period ends on Friday. So WTH are they going to do all next week?

Oh boy oh boy oh boy....me and Bonnie got a visit from the man in the brown truck...he brought a present!!

Youngest called me on the way home from work...Can I open it :eek: No...not til I get home...we have to take pictures ;) That pretty much confirmed it for them...I'm over the edge :rollingey Told them..you don't understand...I might get kicked off YT if I don't take pics :D

Deb sent Bonnie a belated Birthday present (belated because her bad Mommy doesn't know when her bday is:eek: )...Freeze dried Ice Cream (which gets a :thumbup: from the 15 yr old & Bonnie) a cupcake toy (which she is already squeaking) and some Peanut butter animal snackers treats! And I got a :ladybug: and one of the famous Yorkie Kitchen Towel (which the 15 yr old looks at and says...it has Bonnie's name on it..No son, that says bone...not Bonnie :rolleyes: it's going to be another 3 long years :rolleyes: ) and a nice card from Deb! :thankyou2 It is always nice to get a surprise visit from the big brown truck!!

How cool is that.. Deb your such a sweetie. Look Bonnie gets to share her Birthday with Mackie.

Funny Teri!! I have a fortune story too. Maybe ya'll have done this before. We go out to Chinese food often in my family and ever since I was very little, when it was time to open a fortune, you read what it said followed by "IN BED"! The kids were never allowed to play. Well when I finally got older and understood what was going on my parents allowed me to play. We still play everytime we eat fortune cookies and the funniest thing is we have a waitress, the same one for the last 15+ years at the same Chinese place. She knows us by name and always grabs a cookie for herself and says "IN BED" afterwards. It's hilarious.

On my wedding night, my mom gave my husband and I each a fortune cookie to open as a joke. Mine said........you will gain patience through practice "IN BED" :omg it was perfect LMAO

Oh My! She is quite the gift giver these days... Love that towel, but I have yet to find a place to put it, cause if I hang it anywhere, you know dang well someone will try to use it...:mad: and you know that is unauthorized!
Put the :ladybug: on your puter, and we'll all be in the club. Great MAIL day! :happyboun:

ok how many pages do I have to read?

Hey that was the night I was under PM servailence(sp). Only thing that wasn't fair was I was all out of wine on my end.

Mine is on my night stand along with all of my other great YT presents from my care package. Can I still be in the club?:confused: :(

That is so cute and funny, and guess where my Mom and I are going tonight to eat...Yepper,, Chinese, I'll advise ya of what our's say in the am. :D

Sure, we've cleared it... you're in..:cool: ;)

Thanks for the update Deb, much easier then reading it all, but then I went searching for BM's speech about the best kid ever, and couldnt find it! could someone pretty please with a cherry on top find it for me ;)

Awww..she was exagerating a little bit..even though I do think my kids are the best kids ever ;) It is post 4261 on page 285!

So you don't quote yourself Teri...your fortune cookie story was a hoot.

Sneri quit doing homework. The grading has been done. Today at the awards ceremony...the children that received straight A's the entire year received their award. Now, if the grading isn't over how do they know? Btw, our kids don't get out of school until the 17th of June.

And, you silly, of course the Puritan's were pure....where do you think they took the bad people when they needed to be punished...Spanktown. :rolleyes:

BM...you didn't have to post pictures of Bonnie's gift. I am glad she received it today...if I'd known it would drive your family nuts...I'd have addressed it to HER. :) Btw, looks like UPS sat on my box, glad it wasn't marked fragile. In the UPS world fragile means....throw that sucker.

Courtney...you've gotten the go...you are a member of the ladybug society.

I'll share something with you guys...admin was telling me to send them a ladybug smilie to use if I wanted one...because I told them we had a secret ladybug society. Admin asked if we ate placentas....to which I replied no...we are not related to Tom Cruise nor do we practice sciencetology....but we are similar to praying mantis....we eat the heads off our lovers after making baby praying mantis;)

Heather...recap of BM's speech. You are the best kid ever. There, done. I lied...BM will have to recap it herself but it was very sweet.

Deb that was a great recap- I think I will just quit reading the back pages. You can start a service and charge a fee for the recaps. Ladies it is too d*** hot here. I don't know if I can stay in Houston for the summers- I have spent the last 5 out 6 either in Washington State or South Korea. I don't like this 95-99 degrees.

There ya go, only a true mother would be able to reference the page and post number. :)

I didn't read if you all decided on smilie sigs? so did you? what is the lady bug society?

Dang, I know I couldn't afford to live there with those electric bills, imagine if you had no A/c! Where is sweatin' smile?!

there- above smilie is sweat not tears, just so ya know.
