Dear Head Teacher,
Please excuse J2's mum from all future sanely-based conversations.
She's not been herself for a couple of months and the added stress of a ten year-old bordering on juvenile delinquency has nearly pushed her over that proverbial precipice. In addition, please excuse her recent melt down at the end of last week when she wanted to remove her child from the school to sell to a local band of gypsies.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Sincerely,
Not J2's Mum, but someone really close to her that's not too embarrassed to talk to you now.

ReplyDeleteMy techy friend fixed my computer and doing so wiped out my BOOKMARKS ... you were one of my bookmarks.
Thanks for visiting! Now I can find you again. I will add you to my favorites list, because you are certainly one of my favorites.
That was a scary dream! Great idea with the teddy bear! Very affordable and smart!
Hugs!

You would never want to sell a child to gypsies. Your children are perfect and you're the perfect mum (shh! Let me steep in that one a bit).
ReplyDeleteooh... sounds like you've had a rough week! ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for playing along!
I am feeling your pain. Hold on. It can't get worse. Right?
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again. Made me smile when I didn't think I could. I'm not depressed -just sleep depreived and pretty grumpy. My poor kids. They'd probably jump for joy if I threatened to sell them. :)
ReplyDeleteUh-oh!
ReplyDeleteJon and I have frequently discussed how much we could receive for one of our cherished little angels.
Yeah, I frequently tell my husband on the phone that I've sold the kids - but where ARE these mythical child-buying gypsies ANYHOW?
ReplyDeleteYeah, where are the gypsies when you really need them.
ReplyDeleteGood one!
And I love, love love! the carved pumpkin background.
Oh so I wasn't alone during the children's primary years...c is for crazy, L is for loony, and I could go on and on...luckily I don't have to...you did it for me lol
ReplyDelete"just plain nuts for this post"

She's alive. I know - I'm in the same boat. But, if you finding gypsies willing to buy? Lemme know.
ReplyDeleteShort and Sweet.
ReplyDeleteI've had one of those melt downs in front of my girls' teacher(s) before. Sucks...after you get your head on straight.
Good MM!
lol----that was funny. don't we all wish sometimes that traveling bands of gypsies were more common to pawn our children off on (even if just for the day)?
ReplyDelete*laugh*...sorry, you do seemed like you are going through a rough time... but the way you put it just made me laugh...(as usual)
ReplyDeleteGreat excuse. I may have to do this one.
ReplyDeleteDear [friend of] J2's mother.
ReplyDeleteYou're excused. Happens to the best of us.

GOOD One!!! And, sounds so familiar! :) I often tell my sister, "I'm ready to put 'em on the auction block!!!" or "I'm gonna stick her on the street corner with a sign, 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' or 'I'll pay you to take her for awhile!'" Of course, a sister is one you can say it to and she knows that you really do love your kids, would fight to your death for them....but has wanted to put hers on the auction block in her lifetime as well!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting this could be published as a form letter with appropriate blanks left for filling in names of various 10 year old potential juvenile delinquents--it could even be printed on cute theme paper--you know, pumpkins for the fall, candy canes for the winter--how festive...
ReplyDeleteBlessings! ;o)
now this is a fun idea. may have to steal it some day.
ReplyDeleteGypsies WILL return disfunctional merchandise. At least, that's what I hear.
ReplyDeleteawh jeri,
ReplyDeleteyou are too cute.
smiles, kathleen
Good one! And I just can't imagine what led to this. I'm working my way backwards, so maybe it's out there, but I feel for you!
