Shitty Day

I woke up five or six different times last night, feeling like the right side of my face was being blasted off my head. When I woke up this morning I called my dentist and went in. I have an infection at the bone of my upper jaw. Lovely. To top it off, the only thing that will relieve the pain is getting rid of the infection (DUH) and that involves antibiotics, which I don't typically do well with. They also gave me vicodin, but I have no interest in taking that. I was on SERIOUS pain meds (oxycontin) for 3 years so my pain tolerance is altered.

I went to Pei Wei for lunch because I knew I wouldn't be able to eat dinner tonight because of the medicine (and Craig is in New Orleans so I wouldn't be cooking anyway). I really enjoyed just sitting there reading my book but I only ate a handful of bites because my mouth was really hurting.

Then, in an attempt to alleviate the pain, I went shopping. (What else? LOL) I got several adorable outfits for the baby at Bab!es R Us then went over to Old Na vy and got a few more, plus some clothes for Kyra and Ryan. I got oodles of really cute stuff! I'm keeping the baby again this weekend so I can't wait!

By the time I got home from doing that I was starting to feel the first warning feelings of nausea, and as I walked in the house those few bites that I ate were demanding to be freed and I barely made it to the bathroom before I puked my guts up. I couldn't have eaten even a quarter cup of food the whole day but my stomach was acting like it was trying to upchuck a whole cow. God... now, I just want to read and go to bed. So, goodnight!

Nice Night for a Niece

I have my niece this weekend and I'm loving it! It's not really for the whole weekend because we've got other commitments but I picked her up yesterday pretty early and spent the day spoiling her rotten. Then we headed out to Ryan's basketball game (she can't play til next Friday) just to enjoy the night out. She was so good in the gym, even with everyone screaming and yelling.

Then we came home and just chilled. She's been a little fussy tonight. She's got RSV (not good) and her cough just frustrates the hell out of her. To top that off, she's teething and it looks like she's got three teeth coming through at one time!! Yikes!

Anyway, I'm loving having her around again. I've been so busy that I just haven't had her much and she spends most of her days at the baby sitter =(

When I was giving her a bath tonight it was soooo cute because I left the water running and she kept stretching out her leg trying to get her toes in it. You can kind of see it in this picture.

Ryan snapped this picture of me and Rusti (that's my niece's name). Don't say one word about how crappy I look. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Or I'll hunt you down like a dog and ... well, I don't know what I'd do but it wouldn't be pretty!! LOL

A Bunch of Nothin'

Things are pretty quiet around here but only for the next couple of weeks and then it'll explode in a flurry of travel, basketball more travel and more basketball. Plus, she'll be running track at the same time. (Thank God Austin is out of school or I'd be dealing with his football and baseball, too!!)

Her school basketball team will only have two regular season games when she returns and then it'll be time for playoffs. She'll start her track season as soon as basketball ends but the AAU basketball team will pick up at the same time so we'll be running around like crazy- just the way we like it.

The colleges are really starting to pick up steam and wanting her to come for a visit. She'll get 5 official visits next year (her senior year) but we're hoping she'll make up her mind before hand and commit to one of them by the end of the summer.

Ryan is the one in the back from, far left- bent over because she towers over her whole team. She's 6'1 and the next closest is 5'9 LOL

So, I guess I ought to enjoy the easy going slow pace of the next 8 days. It'll be the last I get for a while! YAY!!

No Title Worthy Enough

I swear to GOD...

I'm going to put my daughter into pharmaceutical induced early menopause. I swear, there can NOT be a more infuriating person on the planet when she's like this. Then, to make matters monumentally worse, she piles it on by filling those massive big blue eyes up with tears. It might not be SO hard to take if she'd just let the tears go, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... she just lets them pool up and and just sit there so that you're forced to look at her eyes and nowhere else. If you didn't feel so shitty for getting mad, you'd get mad at her just for that. (Yes, I know... it's a vicious cycle. Imagine LIVING WITH IT!!!!!)

I'm sure the issue with her grade a couple of weeks ago causing her ineligibility for the last two weeks in basketball (ending a week from tonight, thank GOD!) has only amplified the normal PMS but I think she's got some industrial strength PMS. There are like, I don't know... 4 or 5 days around this time every month (NOTE TO SELF: SET REMINDERS IN OUTLOOK!!!!) when she gets like this and it catches me off guard every single time. It's not until after I react in my usual not-sp-gracious way (I know that's surprising) that Craig chuckles and asks me why it surprises me. Well, I honestly don't know why it surprises me except that she's just normally such a sweet girl that no matter what the reason is, it will always surprise me.

So when I write this again next month, don't be surprised. Of course, I will be.

Monday Morning Misery

I had an amazing weekend. Really, I did. But you would never guess it by how shitty my morning has been so far, so maybe I'll just skip over it and save that for another time. Instead, I'll talk more about yesterday. Yeah! Craig and I spent some fabulous time together (yeahhhhhhh) and then on Sunday we took Ryan and Destini down to Austin to watch the UT game against Texas A&M. Destini's sister and Destini both played with Ryan on their AAU team before Niqky left for UT.

Anyway, here are some cute pictures of them. Of course, they're hamming in up! (My camera settings were WAY off for this venue but I had NO clue at all until it was too late so the pictures are shit but you get the idea!)

Here are Ryan and Destini sitting in the suite....
Des N Ryan.jpg

But it didn't take them long to bolt and head for the seats on the floor that Niqky got for us. Here is Niqky shooting free throws yesterday
UT vs A&M 051.jpg

Then, after the game we got to go see Niqky in the media room where the team goes after their press conference. It has been about 6 months since we've seen her so there were big hugs all around! Of course, my camera wasn't out when Ryan tackled her!!! LOL
NDnR1.jpg

You wanna see something impressive? Go read this! The scary thing is that Destini may be the better player. Don't hold me to that, though. It's very hard to guage that because Des is a point guard and Niqky's a forward/post. Both of them have been recruited by the biggest schools in the nation from a very early age. I told Vance straight up that was the reason we joined that team two years ago and I haven't regretted a single minute of it. Ryan only started playing basketball when she started 7th grade so coming out of 8th grade Ryan started getting college letters, alot of them but after she played her first summer with Vance (after 9th grade) the college letters came POURING in and it only got better this past summer. Lets hope we don't screw it up! (please knock on wood for us!!!)

I'm Finally Finished

Craig and I started remodeling the master bedroom and bathroom in June. It was a major undertaking. Horendous doesn't quite cover what we went through. The bathroom had a corner shower but I wanted a tub AND shower so the whole thing had to be ripped out. We also were having the carpet taken out and laminate (wood) flooring put in but they couldn't do that until the bathroom was finished and the guy doing the bathroom took for-FUCKING-ever.

He finally got the crap done and then the guys got the floor done. Well, by that time Craig and I were just overwhelmed because we were also doing the kids' bedroom floors (by ourselves) so we had pretty much stopped doing the stuff in our rooms to finish the kids' rooms. Long story (not so) short, I finally finished my bedroom today and the last detail that needs to be done is to hang the new picture in the living room. Maybe I'll take pictures and post them. Maybe not. It's not that big of a deal, really.

Tomorrow (today) we're going to Austin to watch Niqky play. She's on the basketball team for the Univeristy of Texas at Austin. Ryan played on her team the last two years as well as with her sister, Destini Hughes. Destini is one of the top recruits for the class of 2008. She's pretty much able to write her own ticket and go where ever she wants. EVERYbody wants her. She's such a good kid!!

Anyway, Destini is going with us tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to that. I really enjoy her company. I'm also looking forward to seeing Niqky after the game. We'll be in Craig's company suite, but Destini also has tickets right behind the bench so they'll be able to go down and sit there if they want. I don't care either way I'm just looking forward to having a good time tomorrow.

Little Bit Of Nothin'

Things have been a little calm lately and that usually signals trouble ahead. But for some reason I don't feel that this time. Maybe I'm foolish for not worrying, but things just feel "right" to me right now. My life feels comfortable and lived in and I don't think I'd change anything about it. Oh sure, there are those little things that nag and nip at you, but those are the things that make life interesting.

I've got lots of work to do in my bedroom tonight so I'm going to pull an all nighter. Craig is asleep so I'm going to work around him and hopefully not wake him up.

January 18, 2007

I spent most of today shopping. Alright, if I'm being honest I've spent most of this week shopping. I had to get some new stuff to go with the new stuff I bought. Aaron Brothers in Arlington was having a big sale so I went out there because I needed some new art work. I got one big print that was matted and framed for the living room (normally $150 on sale 75% off) and two prints, mats and frames for the bedroom.

Then it was off to Target to stock up on necessities. Anytime Craig goes out of town I shop like crazy, but I did really good this time. Really, I did. I kept the whole days receipts under $400. He'll be thrilled with this total.

January 15, 2007

Dream Girls

Today I took my girls to see Dream Girls. OMG it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!! If you haven't seen it go out and do it NOW. It is one of the best movies I've seen. I would love to have seen it on stage.

Jennifer Hudson is beyond amazing. When she sings you are compelled to sit up in your seat and focus on nothing but her. A truly unforgettable experience.

Beyonce is good. She's respectable, but when she sings "Listen" it is unlike anything I've heard her sing before. Nothing she sings can compare to Hudson, but she definitely gets a "WOW" when she sings that.

Eddie Murphy is amazing, too. When I told Ryan that he did his own singing she was shocked. I guess there's no way for her to know about "Party All the Time" so I can't hold that against her.

Another One

We were invited to the SMU game last night to meet the coaches and team. This school is a private school so we were worried that with this set back she'd be out of the running for a scholarship there. We were wrong again, thank God.

Southern Methodist University is a GREAT school academically and it'd be really good for her to have a backing from a degree there but to be honest she doesn't seem overly thrilled about it. She was more excited about UNT... wtf?

So I guess we're going to get her up to Oregon to visit Oregon State (from teh Big XII, and we've already visited Kansas State from the Big XII) and that will leave Vanderbilt (from the SEC) and Colorado (also from the Big XII). I think she's pretty much ruled out Arkansas (no clue why she doesn't want to go there) as well as most of the other schools that are recruitng her.

A scholarship into a school from the big conferences is obviously great but that doesn't appear to be a big deal to her right now. She wants to go to a place where she won't sit on the bench behind upper-classment for a couple of years and where she feels like she can make a difference to a team. It sounds like (to me, at least) that she is really looking at all facets of this.

Thank God.

January 13, 2007

Taking the High Road

We went to Ryan's basketball game last night. Of course, she isn't playing and we already knew they couldn't suit up, sit on the bench or even be on the court so that wasn't a shock. When her team first came out on the floor her eyes filled with tears and it nearly broke my heart for her.

When the athletic director for the school district asked her what happened she said, "I just didn't take care of my business" and left it at that. I was SO proud of her for that. Mr. Lincoln (the AD) said, "I've never had an athlete fail and just own up to it so I'm really proud of you." She has always had a wonderful relationship with him because he was her assistant principal in 7th and 8th grade. So that part was nice. And the team won-just barely- over a team they should have killed. So I'm very worried about them for the next couple of games because they've got the two toughest teams coming up. We're still in 1st right now and we've got a two game lead so they should still make the playoffs when it's all said and done.

Craig and I came home from the game and went straight to bed. We just woke up 30 minutes ago (at 1:30pm) because we've been so stressed out over all of this that we weren't sleeping well at all... especially him. He's very protective of her and it's been driving him nuts that the school is "ok" with her whole English class getting crapped on.

He Gets Me

The last few weeks I've been wondering what has brought about such a feeling of calm in me. Even when things have been bearing down on me I don't seem lately to feel the generalized panic that I'm known for. I've always known that Craig and I have a special relationship, even when it was just as friends. But it seems that as the years go on it truly does just keep getting better.

It hasn't always been a cake walk. The first few years were the easiest thing I'd ever done in my life but then the kids got older and it's never easy when you have to deal with other parents. (Thinkgs are great now though) But somehow, as we've gotten into our 7th year I still look forward to seeing his car in the driveway or my cell phone ringing during the day. Anytime I go all day without talking to him, something is surely wrong.

I wish I could find some way to give him back a little of what he has given me. My life would surely be incomplete without him.

Clearer Perspectives

I woke up this morning feeling much better than I had since last Thursday afternoon when Ryan got her reportcard. The school district is looking into the matter of the grade now and I suspect that they waited until the window of eligibility ended so that there was NO WAY anyone could say he grade was changed so that she can continue to play. Now that the window has passed, I actually like that idea better because I don't ever want that hanging over her head.

So, today we go back to remembering that school is not about sports. We never forgot that but when we felt they took sports from her unjustly it sure must seem that way. Oh well. I've never been accused of being overly rational. That's my husband's job, not mine. He's rather good at it, too (alright, until THIS!).

This weekend is one I'm particularly looking forward to. We're going to start getting stuff packed up and out of our house. We're just going to put some things from the garage and the closets into a storage unit so the house will be less cluttered while we're getting things done. The garage is Craig's job. I don't go out there. This ought to get interesting. NO telling what I'm going to find.

A Major Sigh of Relief

No, it's not the one I wanted but it may be just as important (if not, more!). We went to the game of one of the universities that is recruiting Ryan (as their guest) tonight. It was quite nice to get to the Will Call window to pick up our tickets (under Ryan's name- she loved that) and when we went to find our seats, they'd sat her in Row A, seats 1-3 of their section for recruits.

As soon as we came through the archway and headed to the steps leading down to our seats the assistant coach saw us (I didn't know she knew what we looked like, but we noticed her) and had made it around to our seats by the time we'd gotten there.

After the game they took Ryan into the locker room to meet the players. When they came back out the head coach was right behind them and we all spent the next hour talking. They want Ryan, they made it clear. They want her to check out all the other schools that she wants to because they want her to be sure she wants to come there. (She's leaning that way even though she's being recruited by some big universities)

Anyway, after we got a little ways into "the talk" with the head coach, she mentioned their academics. My heart almost stopped right there even though Craig and I had decided to go ahead and tell the coaches at this university what has gone on with her. Not the whole story, just that she failed because that's all that really matters-AND that she'll be off the court for 3 weeks. Even though they knew it still scared the hell out of me, but it gave us a chance to discuss it more and since this is something that has NEVER happened with her before it's not an issue because she didn't fail the semester (just the 6 weeks).

So all is well other than us missing out on going to the games. We could still go but it'd be way too hard (at least at this point) to go to the games. Maybe by Tuesday's game we'll be ready. I'm sure we will.

It's Over

The principal says he doesn't see how the average grade of the entire classroom beeing 55% is a reflection on the teacher. Therefor, she's done until January 31.

Oh well, it's just basketball. Right?

Update

Well, it isn't a good update but it's still an update.

They came to the decision that Ryan would be allowed to make up the assignment that the teacher lost, even though it was a 4 week project. 4 weeks!!?!!?!?!?! Plus, SHE didn't even lose it, the teacher did so why should SHE have to re-do it when the teacher even signed the sheet that Ryan turned it in? To top THAT off, we don't HAVE 4 weeks. Eligibility deadlines end at midnight tonight (11:59pm) and after that, it won't matter if they change her report card grade to an A+ she'd still have to sit for three weeks.

So Ryan stayed up ALL night last night getting it done and we turned it in this morning (she got a 100). So she's failing by 5/100's of a point. Now HERE is where it gets interesting and where the school has a HUGE problem on their hands.

Remember when I said that the teacher admitted to doing her own thing (working on her master's degree during the time she was supposed to be teaching)? Well, the grade sheet printout that they gave Ryan for ALL of her grades in English class also happens to show the average grades for the rest of her class. Guess what they had. Guess! You'll never believe it! A 55.3!!! The average grade of the class plummetedby more than 20pts this six week grading period. You tell ME if that teacher wasn't preoccupied.

So Craig is arguing that point with the school. I don't think it's going to work. At all. She's an athlete and they aren't going to want to have the problem on their hands of having passed an athlete in a gray area. She's never even come CLOSE to failing in her LIFE, though and all of her teachers give her E's in citizenship so it's not like she's some punk kid. Personally, I think EVERY kid in there deserves some extra points but that's going to be a subjective thing and I don't know where you draw the line so I guess we skip basketball for a few weeks and get the house ready to put up for sale.

We picked out the new house and it's just a matter of decided if we really want to take it on right now or not. Either way, we're going to get moving on this one so that we're prepared either way.

So today is another wait and see day. We should know by 4. My hopes aren't up at all. It's just better that way.

Sleepless In... Crowley

Okay, so it's not quite a movie title, but it's quite dramatic around our house. You can cut the tension with a knife though for some strange reason everyone is being SO nice to each other and getting along. It's really great to see.

We had the meeting yesterday with Ryan's teacher, the head of the English dept, and the assistant principal and I THINK we made enough points and the teacher made enough errors in grading that this could be over turned but by no means do I think this is a done deal. I do, however, believe the teacher is in some hot water for how she has acted (not to mention her lack of effort in teaching class this past 7 weeks).

The woman actuall admitted that she worked on stuff for a class she was taking at night instead of teaching the kids. She admitted to not reviewing them for their final exam. She admitted to not contacting us when it becam apparent that Ryan was really struggling in her class. She admitted to doing nothing to help Ryan when it became apparent that Ryan was struggling her her class. She admitted to telling Ryan she could have extra time to do some work then when Ryan DID turn it in she gave her a zero for it. THe list just goes on and on. But the fact remains that they are in control of this situation, not us and that is a feeling I can't stand. It drives me nuts.

So tonight could be Ryan's last basketball game for three weeks. It just makes me sick. Ryan is a wreck, but this will be a good lesson for her in the long run no matter how it turns out. Soooooooo, we're supposed to get an answer sometime today. No clue when, just sometime today. Sometime today. Somtime to-fucking-day. I'm never going to make it.

January 8, 2007

It's Almost Time

The meeting is in an hour. The school is just a three minute drive for me. Craig will be home about ten minutes before we need to be there so we don't have to take both cars. My hands are already shaking. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, it's not a life or death kind of thing but its very important to me and its more than very important to her basketball life. This could tank her chances at a good scholarship.

I'm ready for a fight. Hopefully, this bitch has heard just how bad I can be when I'm mad. I said my prayers twice last night. Maybe that'll help.

January 7, 2007

Dream Home

Okay so it isn't Barbie's Dream home but it sure is a nice one. Craig and I went looking at new houses today and we found one we really like. It's not too far from where we live now but it's in the new side of town. We'd be building from the ground up. 4 bedrooms, a library and an office. It was under $180 with all of the upgrades we want and we were both pretty happy with it. Not 100% sure yet we want to do it but we're sure we want to move so we're going to start getting this house ready.

That part isn't going to be fun. In fact, I'm flat out dreading that.

But now, I've got to go get things ready for tomorrow morning's meeting with Ryan's teacher and administrators. Katie bar the door 'cause mama's ready for a fight!

Later!

Teachers Suck

Before I tell you this story, I probably need to note that Thursday night after all of this went down, I made a pact with God that I'd really try to quit cussing if he'd work all this out. I don't know if it's going to work out or not but I do wonder if it counts when you just TYPE the cuss words as opposed to SAYING them. Also, God already started working on this because we thought the cause of the problem was one thing and that was something we couldn't do anything about, but Friday we found out it was what I wrote about below and we can TOTALLY do something about that, so I guess I need to make a good effort. Hmmm....

All teachers don't suck but I don't mind telling you that my daughter's English III teacher does. When report cards came out on Thursday, Ryan had a 58 for a grade. A 58? How the HELL do you get a 58? A teacher screws you over, that's how. So here's how it happened:

A week before Christmas break we met with Ryan's physics teacher and her counselor. Her physics teacher is great and was doing everything she could to help Ryan, and though I was terribly agitated over the whole thing I greatly apreciated her help. While we were in the counselor's office her physics teacher told us that she was failing English. WTF?

First off, why the hell is the physics teacher teacher telling us about it and why the hell am I finding out about it a week before the six weeks (end of the reporting period) ends? So I have Ryan start taking a spiral notebook to each of her classes and the teachers sign off on her work each day, noting that she's turned in everything and it gives them the opportunity to tell me anything and know that I've seen it because I sign it each night. (pretty much like a kindergartner, I know.)

So report cards come out Thursday and obviously I'm upset about the 58. OBVIOUSLY. Not just because of the bad grade but because it sidelines her from basketball for 3 weeks. 6 games. But the bad grade can be catastrophic at this point. So I email the teacher to find out why and she responds that Ryan has a ZERO for a test grade because she didn't turn a dialectical journal in. EXCUSE ME??????????? Care to share why you signed the notebook saying she DID turn them in then?

To top it off, she told Ryan's coach that she failed Ryan because of her research paper, however in that same email she gave me Ryan's grade for it and it was okay so I'm not sure what she's referring to. I'm beyond pissed right now. BEYOND! She was allowed to play last night and she'll be allowed to play on Tuesday. We have a meeting with the head of the English dept on Monday and if this isn't resolved then she's done until the last week of the season.

I swear, I'm going to go apeshit if they side with the teacher on this. I mean, what the hell more can a parent do, short of going to school with their child (which I did to Austin- just to prove a point), to help the teacher help their child only to have it do absolutely no good???? Uh huh.

So for now I have to bide my time and try not to stress. Yeah, sure thing. The worst part is that they may not even make a decision on Monday. No telling how long it could take. I'm not good at waiting... at all. I'm more of an immediate gratification kinda girl. That's surprising, isn't it? ;=)

Other than this bullshit, Ryan's grades were great. Kyra's grades were great as usual. And Austin's should start his new job on Tuesday. Thank God. I was ready to toss his ass to the curb!! (okay not really, but he was getting on my nerves!!!)

On a nice note, this was in the Ft. Worth Star Telegram Today: Here's the link, or here's just the part that's about Ryan.

Cleburne's Jacqueline Chandler lined up a shot at the buzzer, but it was a touch off, and Crowley hung on for a 35-32 victory in a District 8-4A girls game. Ryan Green made nine of 14 shots for 19 points, and point guard Ashley Stamp had a season-high seven rebounds for Crowley. "Our whole district is like this," Crowley coach Alan Neff said. "It's a fairly even district."

January 4, 2007

Ryan's basketball still dominates most of what we do right now. This picture was taken during the tournament in Waco. Basically, I have nothing else to say. G'night.

Bedtime, Basketball and Babies

I woke up at 4am and have been (so far) unable to go back to sleep. But my eyes are feeling a little droopy so maybe I'll get lucky.

Last night's game, even though we won, was terrible. We only scored 33pts- Ryan and our point guard both scored 10 while one player scored 6, one scored 5 and another scored 2. That is unacceptable. It was just terrible- with the exception of our defense. He FINALLY let them press and we forced a turnover several times because of it.

In other news, Craig's ex-wife had her baby yesterday. Ryan is bugging me to take her to see the baby (a girl) but Kyra won't go, so I'm not really sure what to do here. I like his ex (we'll call her L) and once everything calmed down it was pretty easy to remember she was my friend at one time. BUT... if Kyra won't go see them should I? Do I take Craig? I don't know what to do so I think I might wait and go visit after she gets home from the hospital. She had a c-section so it won't be for a few days.

I'm going back to bed. I'm freezing my ass off!

More Mindless Shopping

That's all I seem to be doing lately. So basically, nothing new.

Oh yeah, Ryan's team won tonight. It was ugly so I don't really have anything good to say about it. Blahhhhhhhh.

Ringing In The New Year

New Year's Eve was spent as usual for Craig and I. We stayed home. I have NO desire to get out on that day, but no clue what my actual reasons are. However, Craig and I DID get out that morning to go buy new living room furniture... and I LOVE it! It's a very deep red color (I know, red seems quite odd but it really is pretty!)

After that, Ryan and I headed to Target for a new vacuum cleaner and while I was there my mother called and said my sister's dog had been run over and killed. I've never understood how she could just let him out and not watch him but evidently she thought he'd stay in the yard. I felt SO bad for her! She's had alot of bad things happen here lately. Nothing earth shattering, but combined together I can see how it might feel impossible to deal with it all.

I asked her if I could keep the baby that night thinking she might go out. She didn't but I got the baby any way. She was SO good! I showed Ryan how to bathe her and then I went to go get her crib ready. When I came back into the livingroom, I found Ryan sitting beside her after propping her up on the couch. Too cute!

MT Rice and Rusti 038.jpg

That sleeper is one of the last peices of clothing I have that will still fit her. My sister says she's running out, too, so I guess I need to go shopping. Yay!! LOL

Happy New Year!
