So Kelsey's soccer coach scolded her after the last game when she coughed uncontrollably during the after game speech. Kelsey went to get her inhaler and her coach told her, "Sure that's going to help, come on Kelsey, you need to see a doctor, you keep using your inhaler and  you aren't getting any better." I guess she doesn't remember the Murphy rule that you need to have a bone sticking out of your body before you see a doctor. Remember when Maggie was blind and Dave wanted to eat tacos before we went to the hospital!

I made her an appointment and grandma brought her. She registered a 3 on the breathing meter. They gave her a breathing treatment and want me to call the office next week. If no improvement is shown she would like to refer her to a pulmonary specialist. She told Kelsey, you must have not had too many problems with your asthma, we haven't seen you in 2 and a half years. Kelsey wanted to tell her, "no, I just have the worst mother in the world." the doctor also told grandma that ALL of the kids are past due for physicals. Mother of the year 2012......I can feel it!

Ryan was chosen to go on a field tip as part of an enrichment program with the robotics program. By going on this field trip he will be considered to be part of the Lego robotics team next year. He is ready to die, I am making him go. He is having a hard time believing being smart is "cool" and that it is an honor to be selected. I think he would rather go to school in Shannon's prom dress than go on this field trip.

 He cleaned off his "cool" Nike's tonight and burned a hole in the toe trying to blow dry them so he could wear them tomorrow. He stormed upstairs and I could hear him throwing things around in his room. He is so mad at himself  about ruining the expensive shoes that I paid for and mad at me for making him go to a quote "dorky" Lego robotics field trip. I asked him what was going on in his room  and he told me he was just throwing away some clay things that he no longer wants. Sure by ricocheting them off the wall and then hitting the trash can. I exhibited some of my award winning parenting skills and told him to shut up and quit acting like such a little jerk. It's not my fault he doesn't know how to blow dry expensive shoes.

Shannon called me to tell me that her teacher sent her to the dean of students today to check out her uniform. She had a hole in her tights and apparently that is a very serious infraction for a Senior on her last day in uniform? Seriously? He wasn't in his office so Shannon conveniently "forgot" about going back. She may have to wear her uniform on an out of uniform day now! Never Boring!

Oh yeah and her room is still a mess.
