Middle bean….

Posted by georgieporgie on April 28, 2008

I am…. well to be honest …I don’t know where to start! I am very disappointed, we have a lot going on here at the house and I got a phone call today that I didn’t want to get…

Middle bean was given the option of playing Basketball vs Volleyball today in PE…he chose Volleyball…the PE teachers allowed some banter(that of which middle bean par-took in) to go on…when I say banter, those are not my words those are the dreaded words I heard on the phone today…

We can all define banter right? Well is banter OK in a public school system? My bestie would say this is flat out wrong banter=bullies…

At any rate middle bean racked the crap out of another bean today at school-because of this banter that was allowed. I am very sad my middle bean would touch another bean in any way shape or form…but he did and I get the call…

So in our situation banter consisted of a lil bit of “oh you guys suck” “we can do better” etc…then it escalated to one on one meaning my middle bean vs another bean  & words were exchanged, then the dreaded “rack” occured-I would later find out those words were of “Yo Mama” type words…meaning this lil bean said “I spent the  night with YO mama and she rocked my world” my middle bean didn’t take kindly to that remark…..I giggled and said “son…where was I last night? You know that what that bean said wasn’t true, I was with your dad last night…so what’s the big deal?” It didn’t matter to middle bean, to him this other bean had disrespected me and deserved the rack…

He should have been expelled but they know me and I work there and I am sure they gave him the benefit of doubt so his punishment would be one day in sac….one day in sac?

Do you know what sac is? Well sac is, for the students/beans who um fight, do drugs and drink alcohol(and get caught on school grounds-yep beans do this in the 6th-8th grade, still amazes me tho’) skip detention, (this is where I would like to inter-jeck and say hellions BUT I can not judge another bean for his/her position in “sac”)….the kids who just don’t give a damn….(my bean has NO place in this world of sac)I call it prison-because they are in a room with no interaction,they do their work with no instruction and they eat lunch before all the other students and basically they are labeled-can you believe my middle bean will be labeled?  This goes on his school record! Well….it is what is-he screwed up….made a wrong decision and now he will have to pay the consequences-do you know how much this pains me? 

I made the decision to have him spend the maximum in sac because 1) I am plantin roots 2) it is in his best interest that if he does the crime he does the time and I expect him to learn something from this! 3)well um this is so not how I roll…

Now my middle bean is faced with three days of sac…as hard as it was for me -I knew they were going to give him special treatment because I work there BUT I had to insist he be treated like any other student/bean… one day of sac would not be enough….the max will be 3 days and so be it…he gets 3 days….

Oh I heard it all from him… now my grades will go down all because of you-(his lowest grade is I believe a 99%)  to: I can’t believe you are going to put me in sac for 3 days…I really had NO choice and I don’t scream,yell or say anything other than how disapointed I am…I know I have typed this before IT IS NOT THAT YOU ARE BETTER, BUT YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THAT!!! Was my response and I walk away and let mr gp talk to him. I think that got to him the most that I didn’t freak out…I just said I was disapointed…

With all that said middle bean is grounded/on restriction for 30 days, meaning he can watch TV and thats all…no pc,no celly,no besties nights here OR there,no xbox/ps3…to him his life is over…us adults know better…right?

He was a super sweetheart tonight helping out with ena going to and from oldest beans play-he helped her in and out of the car…He even went and shook the Vice Principle’s hand and apologized for what happend and said they would have NO problems from him next year…Oh I can hope….Lord knows I don’t ever want another phone call like I got today…I was proud of him, he did this before the play, in front of other adults.

I love him and I had to make a very hard decsion today, one I hope I never have to make again….but I am not one of those parents that says….”not my bean” so I suppose one day I will be typing about another one of his bad choices, because, well, that is life and how are they to learn IF they don’t make mistakes…right?

Oldest bean just got home-she has a new boy friend and I so need the distraction…she says “mom he has the prettiest eyes….”

My confession for tonight….I gotta go find out about mr pretty eyes….

Just a bunch of rambling

My daddy who normally is a man of very few words called me the other night sounding very excited and all in a  tizzy over this stuff called mangosteen.

Daddy doesn’t really show excitement or tizzies unless it has to do with horses and trail-rides or perhaps at Christmas time when he wraps our gifts in dog-food bags or gives us money wrapped up in veggie cans-yep he is practical like that.

His phone conversations are generally limited to under 3 mins, BUT not this night, he was all hyped up-maybe it was the fact he thought he could make some money on this mangosteen stuff OR perhaps it was the health benefits promised by this miracle juice-all I heard was it costs a $100 a jug and $35 to join this elite group of juice drinkin junkies and I am like “daddy, how do you make money when it costs $100 a jug?” Plus it sounds like a pyramid scheme to me, but none-the-less daddy is gonna pay the $35 to join and give this mangosteen juice a whirl….

Mr gp and I found ourselves without beans the other night and he wanted to take me to dinner-for most people this is a great thing-for me, it’s a stressor. 

I am a creature of habit(COH) I eat at the same restaurants-where they know us and I don’t even need a menu-I already know what I want, have to park on a certain side of the stores parking lot, for example at Wal-Mart I can ONLY enter on the pharmacy/health and beauty side-even if I am going for groceries which is on the other side of the store, never turn my radio on in the car-geesh I am already a nervous driver so I can’t have any distractions while on the road, sleep with a fan 24/7 & not just any fan it MUST be a box fan- ok maybe that’s a lil more OCD than COH but my point is, I have a very hard time making my mind up when it comes to eating out-I always say “lets try something/someplace new”-but when we pull into the parking lot I can’t make myself exit the big red dog aka the dodge. I just sit there panic’d thinking what if it’s terrible?  So we leave the house at 5pm and finally sit down at 7:30 for dinner at Napoli’s Italian-which is a mile from my house. That huge gap in time up there wasn’t because we time traveled-it was because georgieporgie couldn’t make up her mind where she wanted to eat! Poor mr gp. I would divorce me…

My two older beans came home from school on Tuesday and informed me that 5 boy beans had been expelled from school for smoking weeds-yes they said smoking weeds…I said wacky-ta-backy? They of course laughed at me, then I said mary jane? Again more laughing and they inform me MOM thats a song…I inform them in no uncertain terms that their lives would be over if they ever pulled this kinda crap-I explain… it’s not that you are better than anyone…just smarter!

We also had our very first “flood day” this past week. Noah’s Ark-Esq rains showered us with their presence and made it to where school had to be called off-it was weird mr gp was home, the beans were home and all during the week and there wasn’t any snow out! Middle bean wanted mr gp to take him to game crazy so he could get a new video game-he was bored and he asks me who calls off school because it rained? Well BA does bub-the buses couldn’t get down some roads to get your friend beans I inform him. I want to go to game crazy mommmmm BUT dad won’t take me until Days of our Lives is over… I said just be glad Passions switched over to Direct Tv or you would be waiting even longer! Yep there ya have it mr gp watches daytime drama-shhhhh don’t tell anyone….

Just for the heck of it I checked my gmail account the other day-I have this gmail email as a junk email for when I sign up for freebies and such. Well some of these subject lines really had me crackin up:

Your maid will be pleased like with no one else before!-well hell I am considered a maid around here does that mean I qualify to be pleased like with no one else before!

25 Internet Millionaires did this in secret yesterday! then it goes on to say You’re gunna mess on yourself when you find out what 25 of the World’s smartest & richest Internet Millionaires did yesterday! Well if ima gonna mess on myself I don’t want any part of it

Pen!s length guaranteed to grow-no matter how many times I email them and tell them I do NOT have a Pen!s or a Penis they keep on tryin to entice me to make my nonexistent penis grow.-they may get more biz if they were marketing to the right gender.

Make your thing as big as life-my response, my thing is already larger than life, so top that!

Become more attractive to ladies- this one has possibilities because just in case I all of a sudden become un-attractive to the male species it’s always good to have a back-up plan.

A Special Offer for You: Sport Diver-at first I thought oooo mr gp needs this then I realized it was legit-there is an actual magazine called sport diver-damn

Your Healths at Stake-what? do you know something about my health that I don’t?

Blonde girls do it best-note to self remind mr gp of this

Never Sleep For it Causes Early Death-HUH? are you kidding me, cuz, me without sleep will surely cause your sudden death!

You can now decide how long you want to be-well you can get back to me when I can decide how thin I want to be! 

Getting some is not hard-Getting what, cash? Because so far it’s proven pretty hard!

Increase girth and inches in one easy step-WTF girth?

Do you wanna have a great time in bed with your spouse?-your kidding me right?

Money is it even real?-checks my wallet-ummm in my case, nope

Your XXXlife has never felt this good-how do know what my XXXlife feels like?

Back alley news-as apposed to what? the back-door news?

My confession for today: for a good chuckle check your spam boxes ♥

Because I Can…

Posted by georgieporgie on April 4, 2008

Aside from the crazy stuffs that come out of my beans mouths, my life has been pretty boring lately(imagine that) yep even with subbing 2 days this week. So today I think I will share some pics with ya…

That’s my daddy but you can call him Papa George. If you look real close in the background you can see some family pics when I was a lil bean. This pic was taken this past Christmas at my Ena’s house. The pretty lady next to Papa George is my Uncle Tommy’s wife Marilyn and speakin of Ena…

Yeppers thats my Gram-ma BUT DON’Tcall her that she is known as ENA(pronounced E-Naw) to everyone…well OK that’s not her birth given name but yanno…She is one of the Greatest ladies God ever Created.

That is my Mom aka Mimi up there, back In March she celebrated her 57th Birthday, where my family and my sisters and thier families surprised her with lunch at Los Cabos-She LOVES that kinda thing, when the whole family gets together. 

This lovely photo highlights my moms man, Barry and my sisters, Rebecca & Laura. We are at another one of those family gatherings we like to call Christmas. 

See that sunflower on top of the fridge in the pic up there…well, lilest bean has asked Mimi to leave it to her in her Will-it sings yanno.

Please don’t confuse this trio with the Three Musketeers…That tall red-head is my brother-in-law, Chad or Uncle Chad if you are a bean, our middle bean-the Reese-A-Nator(well thats what he said to call him-I only write this stuff) and the one and only mr gp.

Here is a better pic of the Reese-A-Nator…saving the world one amusement park at a time.

Can you guess what they were for Halloween?

Here are the girl beans on halloween, oldest bean is definately “kickin” it 80’s style with the blue eye shadow …did I mention we LOVE Halloween around here

A little more sisterly love…Oldest bean has been tanning and for a red-dee she is getting some color.

What can I say? Boys will be Boys OR maybe it’s the fact I bleached middle beans hair last summer…

I am sorry that pic just cracks me up!

Here’s some of Oldest bean-she changes her hair-style just about every 2 months! Full bangs…

Barely there bangs

Awww that’s my oldest bean showing her Tiger Pride…with NO bangs…

Here’s lilest bean, I think she thinks she is the Queen of Sheeba in this one…at any rate it is before she chopped off all her hair.

Goodness she is so young here and don’t mind the messy fridge-it’s alway covered with pics and notes from school

Lilest bean and our doggers…ginger

Well I wanted to post some pics of my nieces and nephews because they are just flat out adorable but I gotta get permission before I go doing that-I can’t have my sisters upset with me…I also wanted to post middle beans famous OR is it infamous milk-shake video, but I think I will save that for when he gets a serious girlfriend and completely embarrass him!

My confession for today: Confession is good for the soul….
