Priorities

I'm trying to get my priorities in order. I've made a list and the blog is something that means a lot to me, but hasn't really been high on it. I love looking back and seeing what we did last year and I really miss that. So here we go again.........

I had ALL of Austin's school stuff packed and ready to walk out the door. We came home from dropping Kaleb off at school and headed upstairs to get his "badge" on Jump Start. It's an interactive website where you help characters and do learning games to buy things within a virtual world. He helped the characters for about 15 minutes then we had to leave for school. Right when I told him it to shut it down, he got a big award and present. He turned and told me he couldn't go to school because he felt sick and needed to stay home. I knew all he wanted to do was play on the computer so I told him if he did stay at home, he would have to stay in bed all day. He was petrified!
In his high squeaky voice he said "do I have to stay in bed all day and all night? If I do, I'm going to sneak out and get some badges"! I laughed and told him to get in the car.

Once at school, I looked in his bag and it wasn't as full as it usually is. Then I noticed his lunchbox was gone. I asked where it went and he told me he snuck it out so he could get an extra banana. Of coarse he didn't put it back so I had to go back home for it.

When I picked him up from school his teacher busted out laughing because as soon as he opened his lunchbox, he looked at his teacher and told her "I don't think I even want this banana". She told him he needed to eat it because the banana was the reason I had to go home for the lunchbox. Then she asked him if we live far from school. He told her "sometimes we get on the interstake(interstate) but not that much. It's somewhere in Collierville".
She said she felt like she was talking to a teenager. Then he told the class that he was "sick" but would have to stay in bed all day and all night so he decided to come play with all his friends instead so they wouldn't miss him.

I don't get to talk to Kaleb's teacher so I can't tell any good stories about him. He's taking a rock climbing class on Tuesday nights. He likes it and is doing okay. It doesn't start until 5:45 so he's exhausted by the time he gets out.
