Today was last art class but man talk about rip off (seems like im always talking about getting ripped off eh?) So I go there with the baby and I’m all nervous cause I ran out of the house late and so baby was dressed nicely. I was afraid we were gonna paint and he was gonna get paint all over him like last time but this time over his nice clothes. So what happens? They make the last class a party. All the kids sat there with a balloon and brownies and a drink. Wth? That’s not what I paid for >.> First of all I don’t even want my baby to eat brownies (that’s a sugar high that I don’t need) and he was bored as hell. So I go up to the girl (forgot her name) and I’m like is that all there is? -_- So I split and went to the playground with the baby. So at the playground, there were these bunch of old asian adults sitting around gossiping in mandarin and all I could think of was… Thank god I don’t have a fobby family like that. They were dressed horribly, had horrible teeth and really messed up hair. (Please dun let me end up like that, please dun let me end up like that.) They looked like scary witches. B*tchy much? Yes (laughs). Think I’m in a somewhat foul mood but for no specific reason.
I called a few landscapers but only Victor called me back. He’s gonna come over to give a free estimate tomorrow. He sounds abc… I guess I’ll see tomorrow. I’m probably way off base.
So Douglas Elliman sends us flyers and I notice one in particular. 7th floor, 1 bedroom just like ours in our building. Sold for $625k … is that insane or what? We are sooo selling if we can get that price.
B had a meltdown in TKD today. We’ve been practicing together for the low green belt and he knows his forms and one steps. But… you knew there was a but… but for some reason, he tries to see what the other kids were doing and ends up confusing himself. He’s just a little kid after all. But I’ve told him so many times just to believe in himself and to stop copying other people. I don’t know how I can get that across. He listens to me half the time. Sometimes it works. Anyway so today, he kept looking around and getting messed up and the teacher told him a few times to stop copying. So of couse teacher finally got fed up and told him to do 20 pushups. He did the 20 but started crying towards the end. Crying he wanted to go home etc etc. Total meltdown. Was shocked. Master Chang came over to him though and started talking to him and after awhile he was ok. After class Master Chang went over the forms with him and gave him a blue stripe for knowing his one step. We’re gonna have to keep practicing that so that he can do it in his sleep. I think that’s the only way he won’t be tempted to look at the other kids. *sigh*
