Does this happen to anyone else besides me? But seems like trash, toys, and what ever can always blow into my yard but can never blow back out of it. I have left neighborhood toy balls stay for days on end and there they will be still in that same spot. I mean hahaha kids even to lazy to go get them till I throw back in their yards again. You say hey here is your ball thats a foot and a half around and only 30 feet into my yard from theirs and they go "Oh we wondered where it was." They so crack me me up sometimes with their ways of doing and saying things.

I live across the street from an elementary school and yes, I get mostly homework papers in my yard. I think they might leave them here on purpose. :wink: I also get a lot of candy wrappers too.

Good Afternoon Everybody! It's another warmer day here in Maryland. It's supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow and no rain, so maybe I'll finally be able to put the yard decorations away.

At times like these, I really miss Maryland ... I'd like to see temps in the 70s again ...

Hello Christmas friends. I sure do miss you guys when I'm not here. I had a great BBQ rib lunch. Now feeling too stuffed to get back to work so I figured I would drop a line on MMC. Hope everyone is having a fabulous day. Back to work for me.

Good afternoon, Christmas family

I am SO GLAD tonight is my Friday. I can't tell you how tired I am today but it is all good. I have a job and I have NOT run out of work anymore !! Some things need to be "tweaked" but I am hoping my new employer will be willing to do so.

We are almost at the end of February already !! Christmas in July is not far away now AND though I know a lot of folks don't care about the Harry Potter series, my sister and I have been followers since the beginning . The very last movie comes out also in July !!!

I hope everyone is well !!! Take care Christmas family - I love you all !!! xo

hahahaha you sound like a kind neighboor! When I was a child, our neighbour would get mad if we had a ball get into his garden. One time he even threw water over the hedge when he knew we were playing there, and he one time distroyed our balll... before we moved into the house next door my grandparents used to live there, must have been quite a change to him!

I'm home today with my sick daughter. I guess it's this stomach virus that's running around the school. She feels better this morning, but I'm going to let her rest a couple more hours, and if she feels better alter, she can go to school and I can go to work.

hope she feels better soon!!

I will share pictures with you guys, but I keep being so tired I don't feel like doing a thing

I am in need of ordering pictures, soon me and my boyfriend will be together for 6 years, can't believe how long that is! More than 25% of our lives!

I give him a photoalbum every year, with photo's and other memories of the year that has passed, I like it for a tradition, because it's the most worthy gift to give...

oh and...
I Jayish!

caninemom3 · Feb 17, 2011

Right everyone, thanks for the recommendations, christmas vacation it is for the weekend!

Good afternoon, Christmas friends. It was cold and so rainy today. Rainy-day session all day. The school psychologist came in to observe in my class. I am so glad the kids acted the way they normally do. Now she can see why I am so exhausted with the make up of my class. I had to suspend one kiddo who kept being argumentative, especially after being argumentative yesterday, too. Then I have a little girl who comes up to me constantly to tell me the answer is not in the passage she just read. I keep telling her that it is, but she continues to argue. I told her that if she does it again tomorrow, she can call her mom to pick her up. Sheesh! What horrible attitudes they have! My extremely active kiddo was even more active; thankfully she was being observed. I will be so glad when tomorrow is over!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great rest-of-the-day. Hope to get back on tonight.

I am not sure if you already mentioned this but what grade do you teach? It is so hard to be responsible for kids all day that are not acting nice. I sure hope things get better for you!

WOW! They sound like middle school age! You poor dear!

The attitude of the girl arguing with you sounded like my daughter when she was in middle school. She got grounded a lot and didn't understand why I was so strict with her about her attitude with teachers but now she does. She hated that I got along well with teachers that had problems with her but I don't think the teachers made any of this up. I worked with them until she got her act together. She became a much better student in high school and now she is a teacher herself! My daughter is a respectful lady now. She now thanks me for not giving up on her. cheesy
