This really isn't the Hunter blog - but seems like he is providing quite the entertaining stories here lately.
I'm in the kitchen making dinner this evening and discussing school with Hunter. He's showing me his papers that he did and filling me in on all the scoop. He says "Do you know Timothy?" I say - no, but you've told me about him - he says well, he brought a gun to school today. Oh NO! - what kind of gun, I asked Hunter. This was not the response I was expecting - Strawberry. Strawberry??? Yes, strawberry gum not gun. I wasn't expecting this, I guess I just heard him wrong and am very happy it was just gum that he brought to school!
Well, it turns out Timothy made some bad choices at school today (Hunter's words) and that stoplight smiley face system I was talking about the other day - well, he made it to the "red" zone and had to go to another class to some buddy system they have. Hunter was quite proud that the teacher put him in charge of getting Timothy to the correct place. I asked Hunter how he got to that room and he said, oh mom, it's simple - you walk out our door, take a right go up the stairs, take another right and you are there. I get such a kick out of his matter a fact statements.
He absolutely loves school now - he told me the other day that he just didn't realize that Kindergarten was going to be this much fun. I'm so glad that he has finally made that decision and that he is truly enjoying it.
I never thought this time would come, but I have made the life altering decision to give up my one big vice. I'm not exactly sure what caused me to give it up, but when I ran out one Sunday I just didn't go buy any more. Yes, my dear friend, Diet Coke. I am a true addict! Zachary always teased me that if I was going to give it up that I would have to go into DC rehab. Well, I have not given it up totally, but I have cut back drastically. I am drinking one a day, but I am currently going through major withdrawals. I never realized that the withdrawals would be quite this bad. The headaches can be dealt with by taking a couple Excedrin Migraines, but the irritability and other withdrawal symptoms are unbelievable! I know the benefits of giving it up will outweigh what I'm going through now, but I sure can't wait until this period is over!
Everyone else is doing good. Nothing big to report - other than Tanner is working on his walking skills and walks a little more every day. We are so excited as I was beginning to think he'd be 5 and I'd still be carrying him!
Have a good week!
Dawn
