Another long arse entry…Mostly a rant.
I should be writing my English paper, as it’s due Wednesday…But…My brain is totally not working for me. I’ve got about half a page, and I don’t even think it really works…Least it’s something though.
I’m so bloody tired…I didn’t get back to sleep this morning.
Anyway…My absence last night was due to aggravation and tiredness. I had attempted to get a nap in, but it didn’t work…Then Dan dropped the Critters off. Which is all fine and good as I was glad to have the Critters home, and that way there were free of his stupidity…Which decided to rear it’s ugly head (actually I think it’s more of Ann’s -his new wife’s- stupidity…But it’s his stupidity for going along with it).
I will admit that Harley can be a bit of a spaz on occasion, but he doesn’t need medication, which is what Dan was saying…Get him ‘evaluated’, so they could decide what he needed. I told him I wasn’t going to drug him, and turn him into a zombie, and he replies with ‘The medications don’t do that anymore, they just help them focus’. [This from the same one who was always anti-medication…Whose mother refused to put him on medication when he was a kid and already diagnosed with ADHD…The same one who thought it was bad for his half-sister to be on meds, because of the side effects they had on her, when she was a million times more of a spaz than Harley has ever been.]
One of Dan’s issues…Harley couldn’t wash the dishes, put them in the drainer, then put them away, without being reminded what to do next. He’s 6! Yeah, he hasn’t’ got the longest attention span ever when it comes to some things…On the other hand, there are other things where is attention is right there, no trouble what so ever.
Like what my dad said (he just happened to call right before Dan dropped the Critters off, and was talking to my Mum, so got filled in on what was going on), he’s seen Harley out to his mom’s house playing with the hot wheels. He will sit there for hours and play with them, and the tracks that they have for them, focused as can be on the task at hand.
He can sit and play his games when he wants to…He can sit and watch a show (Dan took him to Transformers and said Harley sat threw it good…When I wouldn’t of taken him because I didn’t figure he’d sit through it, and that was a year ago!). He sits down and does his homework (he’s better at doing his homework than Sonja is).
Heck…I got a letter from Harley’s teacher saying that he’s a joy to have in class, that he does a really good job reading allowed in class, and his hand writing is great!
He’s been going to bed better of late too! So it’s not like his brain is flittering all over the place at all times. *shakes head*
Mum talked to Loren today, and they got on the subject of the Critters…Seems that Ann’s girls can do whatever they want, and don’t get into any trouble…Either Sonja or Harley do the same things, they get in trouble for it. *shakes head* It’s no wonder neither one of them want to go there anymore.
Sonja showed me a picture she drew while at her fathers…Then showed me a little trick…You take a flashlight and run it along the top of the paper, and writing appears…It reads “I hate going to my dad’s house”. *sigh* I hate sending her there…Hate sending Harley there….
Anyway…Lighter notes…
Like I said, dad called last night…Talked to Mum for a while…Apparently he asked her about my laptop situation, since when he was here I was still on Pingu, who was flaming and sparking, and ready to puke. I get the feeling if I hadn’t gotten a replacement already that he would have been willing to help out in that department.
He did buy Harley’s bike though. *laughs* It is now the desktop picture on the computer on my desk. Last summer when he was here he said he was going to get a Harley, and that when Harley was old enough to ride it (and he was too old to be riding it) he would give it to Harley. So we are already calling it Harley’s Harley. Which is also what he labelled the phone when he sent it. *pokes at it* It’s got two little strips on it…In red & gold…It’s a bloody Gryffy bike! *still wants a black one…Will name it Black Magic*
Went to the bookstore to spend the gift certificate I got the other night…Did spend about $10.00 on Sonja (which is what she was wanted for drawing out my name). Got her a good sized sketch book, and some high quality coloured pencils. When I got home I put them in the plastic bag my 2-D design stuff came in (as I found them a different bag to make carrying things easier on me)…She was quite happy with her new goodies.
I got some tracing paper, a different kind of charcoal stick (for actual use at school, in Life Drawing), and a set of oil pastels. *huggles the box of pastels* They are like the craypas we use to use in elementary school. *drew a replica of VanGohs (sp) sunflowers that the art teacher actually offered to buy from me* [Should of let her…Then it would of survived.]
Ran into James at the bookstore…Can actually stand to be around him shopping in a book store. *refuses to go into the grocery store with him again* [It traumatized me! *laughs*]
In English today we were told that we’d be splitting into two groups. Group one would have assignment #3 due in two weeks…Group two would have assignment #3 due in three weeks. He decided, since the class sat split exactly in half, that that is how he would divide us. Then tossed a coin…My side called, and lost…But the two that spoke up for the other side said they would rather have theirs due in 2 weeks rather 3 weeks…So Yay! I don’t have to worry as much about my next paper…Granted, I need to get assignment #2 done for Wednesday.
Got 7 stuffed Chuzzles in the mail today. Gave one each to the Critters, and one to Mum…*has four Chuzzles for herself* Hehehe…Sonja picked out the blue one…Harley picked out the green one…Gave Mum the purple one…That leaves me with a yellow one, a orange one, a white one, and a reddish pinkish one…*pokes at it* Poor Chuzzle. *laughs*
I think that’s about it for the moment…I’m feeling better purging evilness out of my head.
Oh yeah…I’m going to have another Critterless week-end. *sigh* But their other grandmother wants to see them and has the week-end off…Plus she’s got a book for Sonja about female things…Which the little one could probably benefit from.
*glares in the general direction of farmers who feel the need to pump their animals so full of hormones that it’s ridiculous and not care about the reproductions*
