Hello, I'm back

Hey guys, I know, I am practically a stranger now aren't I? I just seem to get so busy with everything else and lose track. I swear I am going to try to be better at this. :) The kids are back in school now. Although I am not to thrilled with B's school. The school has one teacher for each grade, K-6, no art program and not really a music program. That is bad enough in my opinion, but they had some extra money this year, so guess what brilliance they came up with? An art program? No. More funding for the teacher's to help with classroom supplies? No. They, in their infinite wisdom decided it was more important to get three fish ponds dug out and filled with fish. Really. I couldn't believe it when my son told me. Then, they aren't getting the agendas this year that are like day planners that the teachers send home their homework assignments in and use to communicate with parents a lot because they don't have the money for them. Now, see why I am a little peeved at them?
S is in middle school, same school district of course. They will not be bringing books home this year because there isn't enough books. I mean really, you have to be kidding me. But they do have enough for every student to have an IPOD. Wow, I am really considering home school.
What does it really take to figure out this is not right? Kids need textbooks, not music players. This is the first week of school and they are already planning a field trip that is going to cost $30 per student, on top of the $15 classroom fees that have to be paid. Some families can not afford it and it is to the point of stupid. I swear I am to the point of running for school board or something like that.
Okay, there is my rant. Sorry for that, it just gets me so worked up. I have to get it out before I end up going to the PTA meeting and telling them all off, but after getting their uniforms, school supplies and paying all the classroom fees, I don't have the money for bail. lol
Now tell me how you have been. I really enjoy hearing from all of you.
I am of course still playing World of Warcraft and loving it. I love the guild I am in. We even have a webpage now, www.gnomehaters.guildlaunch.com you are more than welcome to come on there. We have a lot of fun on there.
S has a new boyfriend at school. He is still alive so he hasn't annoyed me too badly yet. LOL He plays the WOW game and got one of the guys to invite him into our guild, so when they aren't on the phone, he is talking on there to us. He has not learned proper boyfriend behavior yet. He is dating my daughter, I do not want to see or hear him ever. He is not taking her out, she cannot date till she is at least 16, (her father says till she is 50, but I think he will be a little more lenient.) so I am never going to meet the boy.
Well, I guess I will go for now, as always, more work to be done. Hope you guys have a great night. See ya soon, hopefully.
