Entrepreneurs day (again)

Quintus informed asked if he could take part in Entrepreneurs day at school (again).  When is this day, I ask buying me time to get out of this.  Friday he says.  I already paid my deposit he says.

No!!! I think.  Sure we can, boy.  Let’s see what we can come up with this weekend. 

Ai and he is only in Grade 2!  We did come up with a great plan though.  Easy, not a lot of work and hopefully something that will bring in good money :)  Gotta love those type of plans.

 

Where do YOU live?

Yesterday as every single day in the life that is mine was hectic.  I asked Tommie if he could do me the huge favour pick up Quintus after his extra lessons at school.

Sorry.  No can do.  Why?  He has to go play golf!  Oh the tough life of the husband of mine.

A while later I get a call…. “BTW what extra classes did Quintus go to?”

You got to be kidding me right!?  This is his second year that he has extra classes on Mondays and Wednesdays! 

Separate worlds people.  We sometimes live in separate worlds.

 

The mom that I am

Quintus was extremely excited when I picked him up from school yesterday.  I have mentioned before that their school has a wonderful motivation system.  This is not only for individual pupils but also the classes as a whole.  During the term Quintus’ class acquired the most points out of all the classes in the school and they got the day off today!  The last day of the school term.

Now Jay is only in Grade R and in all reality he could still be in pre-school.  However he is not and his classes are on the school premises.  Making him a part of the school.  I took him to school today.  Even though school got out at 10 am, he still went to school. 

I want my kids to learn that when you work for something, you reap the benefits.  So Jay went even though I could easily have kept him home.  You know what though?  He didn’t complain.  Not once.  Just shows that the times I have done this kind of things before, they have learned that you don’t get the benefits unless you work for it.

So I ended up being very proud of both boys. 

 

She must have taken him with her

That would be my son the scholar.  Ever since Quintus’ teacher went in for an operation and he had to go into a bigger class he has given me headaches.  Or like I mentioned in this entry, maybe the teacher just decided she didn’t like him the minute he walked into her class. 

He has stayed in during break twice because he was talking and then today because he was swapping stickers instead of doing some or other work.  Okay.  He is good enough about it to tell me this himself.  I appreciate the honesty. 

He has also been forgetting his homework files at school.  Just generally doing things that is not like him.

Most of the time when he has done something he shouldn’t have, it included a specific boy who sits next to him.  Now I’m not a teacher but shouldn’t she just move them?

Tomorrow she is getting a letter from me requesting her to move Quintus and tonight Quintus is getting extra homework for not behaving in school.  I figure if he isn’t concentrating in class, then he is missing out on schoolwork and he just has to catch it up at home. 

I cannot WAIT for his teacher to come back.  School closes for the the winter holiday next Friday.  I think I should make a countdown calender just for that.
