Wow, this is a first, posting at 'home' and hearing the fizzle of a soda next to me. Well I've done it with soda before, and some 'extra flavoring'.
So, spoke with XW on the phone tonight much to my surprise. On the way home S12 was blowing my phone up, so I called back and got her. We kept it solely on school issues. She got timid a few times when I reminded her how S11 functions, but she kept her cool with me. Heh, she fell for every one of S11's stories, so I think that made her madder than having to hear me call her out on it.
She did try to make a casual joke at one point, but I wasn't biting. The only time we did stray off the kids was about our cat we had, apparently is on death's bed, so she is going to take it to an animal hospice (no kill).
I don't know, I think the underlying motive tho was not only to comply with my complaint a few weeks ago, but I think her conscience is getting to her in light of what would have been our 11th anniverary next Saturday and the fact it will be the last on "sweetest day" for some time as when we got married. Heck we've endured 2 years in row with it on the same exact day now, stupid leap year.
So, that's all I got. Sober as they come and content for the night. Full too, I lost count of how many tacos I ate. I'm supposed to be seeing the shrink for weight loss associated with stress of the D, but at this point, I feel as big as a house.

So when I was talking with S11 about his lack luster performance in school thus far, one subject matter was his tanking grade in P.E. for not completing his weekly workbook assignments. As of yesterday his teacher indicated he was missing all 3 thus far.
His story: "No, it's only one, I swear to God, I put my book on the teachers desk last week instead of in her 'inbox', I swear, she either didn't see it or forgot to grade it!".
I said, are you sure? As of noon today, you're missing all 3.
"Yes, I swear".
Told him fine, I will reply to the teacher then accordingly.
Reply from teacher this morning (this is a direct cut and poste from the e-mail):
"Funny thing about his comment, he is not allowed anywhere near my desk as it is in the girls' locker room - they just give them to me."
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is awesome...I hope you post his response...If I had to guess I'm going with he gave it to a girl to put on the teachers desk and the girl must have lost it.

"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems."
Unfortunately, XW is going to have the joy of first round with him, as I conveyed the incoddent to her via text, dang it! But that's just me the cooperative parent I am.
Was shocked X actually replied. So I guess she's taking some initiative finaly to work together? I won't get my hopes up on that.
In another incoddent involving S11, a brand new $50 winter coat I just bought him was "stolen from his locker". Upon hearing this story he was intructed by both myself and XW to go to the principals office and file a report which he claimed last night he did. I said I would follow up this morning.
Miraculously, now it's "S12 stole the coat and left it in the lunch room". Eh heh, that's ranking at maximum peg on the b/s meter.
My gosh that kid cracks me up. If he put half the effort into his work as he does these stories, he'd be an honor student.
