A Battle Fought...A Victory Won!

Oh my gosh!  Have you ever come out of a week/weekend feeling that you now need a vacation from it all?

Last week was not my typical week...as I do not like confrontation one itsy bitsy bit.  Since the beginning of the New Year there has been a shift in my 1st grader's classroom...a substitute covering while the regular teacher has been out on maternity leave. (as she rightly should be)  At first all of the kids seemed to be excited about having a temporary teacher and had liked when she had subbed for the class before.  Things have not turned out as all had hoped and let's just say that there have been far less happy days since the change has taken place.

Everything came to a head last Thursday when my daughter came home and burst into rivers of tears when I asked how her day went at school.  When I tried to comfort her and probed for the reason behind the waterfall on her face I was told, "She told us to shut up!"

"Who told you to shut up?!"  (mommy alarms are sounding and anger is brewing)

"Mrs. Teacher told us to shut up." ("teacher" is my censorship in an attempt to spare the teacher's name... out of respect)

"Did she say it to just one, a couple of kids OR the whole class?"

"She said it to all of us.  I didn't see her but we all heard and got really quiet."  She said her back was to the teacher when it was said but that everyone gasped and were quiet.

Sobs grow louder and tears are now falling like Niagara Falls.

"Please, please, PLEASE don't make me go back to school until Mrs. Peak comes back!!!" 

At this point my heart is completely broken for my daughter...and I am on a mission to right whatever wrong has occurred.

Text messages begin going out to see if any other moms can corroborate the story with their children.  It turns out the order was voiced at two children, but the entire class heard it and some thought it was directed to everyone.

Oh, let me tell you, this mommy's frustration level hit the roof and blew straight through!  It was not the first time that inappropriate words had been spoken in the class...a few FAR worse than this before.  (an "F" bomb overheard, "Little Sh**s")  This was it!!  I was done pushing things aside and hoping simply for issues to be resolved on their own.  It was time for this mommy to take some action....and I wasn't the only one on a mission for resolution either.

The Friendship Mediator

Today I just need a light moment to vent and pose a question.  It seems more and more that I am being called on to deal with the friendships of my girls. Is anyone else having this happen?

 

Whenever I can I volunteer in one of my girls' classrooms, and I have noticed so much rudeness between these little 1st & 2nd graders that it makes me want to scream.  Including my own Grace...which really makes me want to scream.

Tropical Pearberry Smoothie

 Spring is upon us and that means that my cravings for fruit rise.  This morning I gave into those cravings with glee! 

This smoothie is light (yet filling), refreshing and surprises you with a wonderful lite

 coconut aftertaste.

Indulge in the sweetness that Spring brings:

Tropical Pearberry Smoothie

Yield: 1 - 16oz. Drink

Ingredients:

1/2 Bartlett Pear

3 large ripe Strawberries

1 cup frozen Peaches (4-6 slices)

1 tsp. Honey

2 Tbsp. plain Greek Yogurt

Do You Know Chia Seeds?

 

Have you ever heard of the Chia Seed?

 

Did you know that there was such a seed? 

 

When I first heard it the jingle for the "Chia Pet®" immediately hit my brain.

I just recently discovered some very interesting information regarding the benefits of these little gems. Benefits that I whole heartedly believe must be shared for all to reap the rewards they hold.  And at just under $7 a pound, that's a ton of seeds, they aren't too pricey!

My favorite way to consume them is in a smoothie...and the kids don't mind it either.  There really are a ton of ways that you can enjoy chia seeds.
