TGIF

It's Friday. Thank goodness. I'm so tired. I am so very glad the weekend is here. Lloyd will be home soon and we have no plans for the weekend except to hang out at home here and clean up the yard - play outside and just relax.

Chris is sleeping over at a friends tonight. He won't be home until after drama rehearsals tomorrow afternoon.

I was supposed to go to the science centre today. I was meeting Val and her little guy there but I had a migraine last night and was feeling tired and crappy and still so tired this morning so I cancelled. Instead we met at Broadmoor Lake and we walked around the Lake for a while - it was breezy but it was fun. The geese were noisy! It's so nice to see them back after the long winter.

After our walk we went to the mall and had some lunch together - including some ice cream each from Laura Secord! YUM! Vals little guy managed to stick his eye shut from the stickiness of a lollipop and my two were running about high from sugar so we knew it was time to go! I was so tired and not bothered about dealing with it so I just yelled at Val in front of everyone "Val will you please control your children"!!!!!!! completely denying they were anything to do with me :)

Despite feeling horrible and so sleepy it was a nice day. Now I am home and switching this off and going for a bath as my older two are about to walk in the door so they can supervise my younger two and I can pop some tylenol and go soak in the bath!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone - enjoy the good weather!

Tess!!!!! Grrrrrrr (lol)

Ok.....wanna see some more pics of yesterday..including a few of me (wah!!!!!) then you can head over to Tess's blog. My Daily Ramblings. Just click on the link in the list to the right!

Or don't (which I'd probably much prefer because everyone seems to like the pictures that I don't like lol.......and Tess is pretending that she didn't get my email t NOT post the pictures until AFTER she posted them hahahahahahaha GRANNY Tess)!!!!

While you're over there you can also check out Tess's lovely new hair-do and also her wonderful scrap book pages!

Puberty confusion!

Susannah is very excited at the moment - her class has been learning about puberty! Now we discuss all of this at home anyway, but because they are talking about it at school and she is with her friends, it is all full of giggles!! She says her friends are all whispering to each other 'you're hitting puberty'!!!! And then they all giggle! Sigh!

All week this has been her main topic of discussion - at all times! Even with Lloyd in the kitchen after supper she will be discussing periods and bras and boys and sex and....how will she know she's hitting puberty? and what will it be like? And will it hurt? And when can she date? (30!)

At first it was funny....towards the end of the week it has become boring and annoying (sorry Susannah lol)

But last night to be honest some fo the things she said made me mad! Not at Susie but at the school! I realise she is at a Catholic school but some of the things the school are teaching these kids is RIDICULOUS!!!!

A couple of the Moms are helping in class this week. Some of the Moms I know.

So Susie is talking last night and says that one of the Moms says that you can get pregnant just by having your period start - just like Britney Spears sister did. I asked what she meant and she said that she meant that Britney Spears sister didn't go with a boy but got pregnant by just having her period start!!!!!!!!!!

WTF?????????????????????

So we have another Virgin Mary on our hands???? Is this what they are teaching them????

Uh no Susie....I'm sorry but Britney Spears Sister had sex with her boyfriend and got pregnant. Anyone who gets pregnant has either had sex with a boyfriend or has been to a sperm bank or had IVF (and yes we have explained these things).

Yet Catholics are so against termination of unwanted pregnancies - so why on earth don't they educate their teens and preteens PROPERLY so there are less pregnancies in the first place???????

Susannah and her friends seriously though Britney Spears sister got pregnant JUST from having her period start - so if there are girls in her class whose parents do not tell their children the truth those poor girls might be scared that when their periods start they will have a baby!!!!!!! Can you imagine that fear????????? At ten years of age????????

My children are told the truth always - at a level suitable for their age and understanding. I think it is VERY important.
