Mimz brought me home so I could catch the bus.

I ate chicken nuggets for lunch.  That's all I recall about my day.

I had to do a page of reading and answer multiple-choice questions before I could go play.  I also practiced my spelling words.

I played at Braxton's and Alyssa's homes.  When Mommy got home, I had to do another page of reading problems.  I'm not trying very hard to learn and do well in school and I try even less at home.   

 
Wednesday 2-27-2019
I forgot to write.  I know I went to school and brought home my spelling words.  It is about the rule for Irregular Past Tense Words that end in "y."  The rule is Words that end in Y, change y to i and add -ed.   Example: study becomes studied.    Crazy that this is third grade work.

After doing as little homework as I could get away with, I went to play with Braxton, then Austin, and final Brandon.  If I had come home at 6:15pm like I was supposed to things would have gone smoothly.  But I got home at 6:45am, was dirty from head to toe, so I needed a shower, then had to eat a quick dinner so Mimz could get me to my baseball practice which started at 7:30pm.

After practice I ate two chicken legs before lights out.

Mommy took me to my early morning running club.  I enjoy running and hope I do well during the Dream Mile.

I jumped off the bus.  I don't have much to say to Barbara.  She gives me consequences like no phone for a week.  Well, I am going around her.  I asked my parents to get me a new phone.  Guess what?  They did!  I hope I take better care of this one than I did the first one that Mimz bought me.

I played at Braxton's for awhile, until it started raining.  I came home and hung out here until Mommy got home to take me to get a replacement phone.  I think this is my third phone.  I break them. 

We had open house at school and I'm not sure what day it was.  Mommy took me and she took these three pictures:
 Seth wrote this note about me.
 Zeke wrote this note about me.
 I wrote this note about Seth.
We are starting to learn cursive writing.

not feeling good, so no baseball for me today

Titanic vs cruise ship

came home, shot baskets with daddy

 

Saturday, February 23, 2019

I had two baseball games scheduled for today at 8 and 11:30am in Conroe Texas.  I don't recall the details.
Friday, Feb 22, 2019
   Mommy was scrap-booking with Grandma in Irving, TX and Barbara was at Andy's babysitting Anna Kate and Bradley.   So when Mimz brought me home, she waited for my bus to arrived before she left.  She normally does wait, but she was the only one there to see me onto the bus.  GGM was home and she would have taken care of me, but Mimz didn't mind doing it.

I ate a cinnamon roll at school.  I always have one on Fridays.  

After school I went to Braxon's home to play football.  We ended up going around to neighbor's home selling candy bars for his little brother's fund raiser.  When Barbara came to get me, she bought two candy bars, one for me and one for Mimz.  Mimz is always bring her and GGM doughnuts and she wanted to return the favor.

Barbara met Mimz at my doctor's office so Mimz could take me to my baseball practice.  It was to wet to play on the fields so we had cage practice.

Mimz brought me home.  I needed to take my pills, so Barbara got them ready.  I showed Mimz some basketball shots I had been working on before the bus arrived to take all the kids at my bus stop to school.
I didn't gave my two teacher the two envelopes with questions about the work I have not turned in.  I want Mommy and Barbara to quit worrying about that stuff.  Barbara plans to take the envelopes to school and have the office put them in the teachers mail boxes since I didn't to what I was told to do.

 I insisted that I didn't need to work on the paper that was in my red take home folder.  It will be worked on in class.

My dad took me over to Mimz home so I could spend the night over there.  Mommy and Grandma are in Irving Texas at a scrap-booking thing.
February 20, 2019
I got up pretty easily and had plenty of time to get ride my scooter and shoot baskets before the bus arrived to take me to school.

I was told to give two envelopes to my teachers with papers that I have not completed.  My mom wants to know if they are work I need to complete and turn in.  I came home saying I forgot to give the envelopes to my teachers.

Mimz came to my home around 6:30pm to work on my homework with me.  I won't listen to Barbara and don't do much better for Mommy.  At 7pm Mimz and I left for my baseball practice.  Practice is very late, from 7:30pm to 9pm.  And then there is a 30 drive back to Mimz home.  Makes for a long day.

 Papa bought a 1972 Chevy Chevette.  It has an antique license plate so it is to only be driven on weekends or to parades or some specific location.  It's not to be driven for every day use.  It is being kept inside the garage.

After a three day weekend, I didn't want to get up early to catch the school bus.  But I did and I reviewed my prefix and suffixes so I feel ready to finish my test.

I wanted to run off and play first thing, but Barbara made me read one of my old school papers and answer the questions.  I really can read a lot of words, I just won't try to read them so that they make sense.  I want to read as fast as I can and run sentences together and get some words wrong and keep on going.  Not fun for me or for my adults that want to help me learn to enjoy reading and learning new things.

I played with several boys and came inside at 6:30pm.  I was already dark because it was cloudy, foggy, and wet.

I protested but took my shower but didn't read before bed.  I had such a bad attitude that I received a consequence of no phones for a week.  Neither Barbara's or my mother's phone.  And PlayStation is gone, so I will be a poor boy without electronics.  Who knows maybe I will start reading more......

Today was President's Day holiday, so I had no school and Mommy was off work also.  I slept until 9am, which was about the time Papa and Grandma arrived.  Papa came to put some fertilizer on the yard and Grandma had to bring ProLawn work to her office.   They didn't stay very long because Grandma was not feeling very good.  She has started using a C-pat machine to help her sleep apnea and it has made her feel a little sick unless she is really getting a cold or something.


I spent most of the morning and half of the afternoon playing with my friends outside.  I spend the late afternoon playing Fortnight.  

I played Fortnight with a couple of my cousins until it was bedtime.


Sunday, February 17, 2019



Matthew, Anthony, and I were awake by 8:30am but we didn't get up.  We just talked and played on our phones.

We asked Mommy if we could have doughnuts for breakfast.  She went to get them for us.

Barbara's computer has not been able to connect to the Internet since January 17th.  Our computer repair person has been sick.  He is well now and he got her computer repaired today.  We have not been good about taking notes to write about the days we have missed.  We might go back and write what we can remember about this past three weeks.  We are going to start writing today.  ..... and we resolve to be better about putting pictures on promptly.  (Fingers crossed)
 *******************************
January 18   Mimz brought me home after I spent the night at her home.  I took my pills and ate a cold piece of fried chicken that GGM prepared yesterday.  I had time to go brush my teeth again.  Mimz, Barbara, and I went outside to wait for the bus.  I showed off riding my scooter.  I've been working on learning to jump the curb.
 At the bus stop.... only one child is dressed like it is a summer day!
Jan. 18   Awards ceremony.
 My class went to Mrs. Wright's classroom so we could have one awards ceremony for the two classes.

 My only award was for perfect attendance.
 A picture of me with Mrs. Wright.
Some how I got hit in the eye with my football while on the school bus.
 We had baseball practice at 5:30pm.
 While waiting for practice to start I threw the ball as high as I could and caught it.
 Jan 23, 2019     I fell on the street doing tricks with my scooter...
 Mimz was here so she played nurse.



Jan 25, 2019   We had a blast during our Color Fun Run.  We ran laps and raised money for something, I don't know what.
 Mrs. Flores is our substitute teacher until Mrs. Gardner comes back from pregnancy leave after Spring Break.
When we paused to walk I would find someone to visit with.  This time I visited with Sebastian.  He is on my swim team.  
Alyssa has had a growth spurt.  I bet I will start growing and be taller than her when we are a little older.
 I don't recall how many laps I ran but it was a bunch.
 Teachers sprayed us with dry paint when we ran past them.
 We were told to wear an old shirt in case it was ruined by the paint.  The paint fell off or washed out easily.
 I worked up a sweat.   It was really was a fun run.
Jan 28, 2019  This week is Kindness Week.
On Monday I wore slippers but we didn't get a picture taken before school and I wouldn't put them on after school so... no picture.
 Jan 28, 2019  Today we were to wear a flannel shirt.
 Playing with friends in my front yard.
 Pictures of my bedroon....
 ....I need to hang a few more pictures on my walls.

Jan 30, 2019  Baseball game 

Jan 31, 2019  Today were were to wear a bow tie.  Mommy bought me one and I was pleased with it last night.  Today I wouldn't wear it.  No one understands why I often have an attitude problem.
Papa made a wooden stand for yard tool and brooms, etc.  It works great.
 I fell off my scooter.  Bloody knee.....
 And bumped my eyebrow on the street.  The red dot on my head was for a Kindness event in the lunch room today.   There were five different colored dots.  Instead of sitting with my classmates, I was to sit a the table for kids with red dots.  This was a way for us to make friends with other children.
 Feb. 1, 2019  Today was dress up day.

I wore the same suit I wore to my First Communion.
I was the only child at my bus stop that dressed up. 
Nice picture of Anna Kate reading to herself.

Feb 6, 2019   I had early dismissal to go to the doctor to see if I should keep taking my new medicine.  It's to help me focus and get a better attitude. 
 My progress report shows my grades have gone down.  
 Feb 7, 2019   I fell off m scooter and smashed my little finger.
 I tore up my little fingernail but I'm told it will heal and be as good as new  in a week or so.
 Feb. 8, 2019 We are going to learn to play the recorder in music class.  Mommy ordered me an orange one for $7.
Kindergarten, first and second grades have a decades dance which was loads of fun.  Third through five do rhythm activities.
 Barbara was my only adult that could come.   Somehow I have been lucky enough to get a spot close to the walls so pictures can be taken of me up close.
I enjoyed these stick activities.

 These two pictures show all of the third graders...
I'm in the bottom picture, right side, red shirt.  We were to wear a Metzler shirt.  This years shirt is blue, but Mommy wanted me to wear my old red shirt so it would be easier to find me in the pictures.  Some kids don't wear Metzler shirts, which is okay.
 Some rhythm dances.



 On the wall are pictures of kids who have made the Dream Mile.
 Matthew is one of my neighbors.  He is in fifth grade.
This page shows the fastest 2nd grade boys of all time at Metzler.  I'm in seventh place.

Feb. 9, 2019 This evening was Andy and Kristan's baby shower.  I didn't want to go, so Mommy stayed home with me since Barbara was at Andy's babysitting AK and Bradley.

Feb 10, 2019   Happy 35th Birthday, Uncle Andy!  There was a party at Andy's house.  Bridget, Chris, and baby Catherine were there.  I had baseball games so I couldn't be there.
 We had two baseball games at a really nice facility at the farm league at 11am.  My team played well but we lost.  I had a nice hit that went to the right fielder.  I ran to first base and got there before the ball did.  I stole second base.   Then I stole third base and Jimmy, the coach, motioned me to go on to home.  Well, the catcher had the ball just a little bit before I got to home plate.  I was out.  The coach said it was his fault.

My second at bat was a walk.  I stole second base and the ref said I was out, but I heard from others that I really was safe.

I played both left and right fields.  No balls came my way.
Our coach was pleased with the effort we put forth.


At home I went to see if some kids could play, but didn't find anyone, so I came home and played Fortnight.  Daddy came and got my Fortnight game because the rule right now is that I can only play it on weekends.

I'm supposed to be asleep by 9, but it was 9:30pm before that happened.  

Feb. 11, 2019  I got up at 6:45am, which gave me just enough time to get ready, so Mommy could drive me to my Running Club at 7:15am in the school gym.  I ran 12 laps, which is the most I have ran during one running session. 

I had a page of math homework, that I am to do two word problems a day this week.  I did all eight problems!  I just wanted to.  I also did the entire back side of the math homework which was doing quick multiplication problems.  

I played football in the front yard with five other boys until it was too dark for us to see.  I came inside oh so dirty and smelly.  We washed my clothes immediately and I took a good shower.  

I read for at least 20 minutes.   I must practice my prefix and suffix words for the past four weeks because we are going to have a big test on Friday.

It was almost 10pm before I fell asleep.


Feb 12, 2019  I had laid out my clothes for school the night before, so I had extra time after eating breakfast and taking my pills to play at the bus stop.  I take a football to school every day to play with during recess.

Nothing interesting happened at school.

I was mad at Barbara because she gave me a consequence of not using her phone for the rest of the week, so to show her I didn't care, I didn't want a snack after school and I wouldn't study my prefixes and suffixes.  I went outside and played until 6:30pm.  I mostly played football with Julian, Xavier, Cole, Jay, and Brandon in my front yard.

By then I was hungry.  I ate two small bowls of spaghetti and two small bowls of cereal.  Mommy and I went to Michael's and then we went to bed.  She was asleep by 8:30pm and I was asleep soon after that. 


Feb 13, 2019  I brought home this list of my classmates so I could make a Valentine for each of them.
This evening I had baseball cage practice.   Coach Jimmy said this was one of our best practices.  I had a couple of good hits.

Feb 14, 2019   I took gift certificates and this little balloons to my two teachers for Valentines.  I took Valentine cards to each of my classmates.
 Feb 15, 2019    Baseball practice
 Water break.

 Feb. 16, 2019   Playing football with some of the neighborhood boys.  I got just as dirty today as I did a few days ago.


We had a big prefix and suffix test on Friday so I spent most of my homework time working on learning the meaning of 20 of those.  I really don't like studying and it shows on my grades.  When I try I can do well, but I don't want to try very often.

I didn't have my Play Station at home all week.  I think the current policy is that I can play on weekends only. 

During the week, I only want oatmeal for breakfast but on weekends I want a big breakfast.  I had three scrambled eggs with hot sauce and six pieces of bacon.  The bacon is the best!

I played on my Play Station for a couple of hours in the morning, then I saw Brandon and Matthew playing basketball with my basketball goal.  I'm worried that they are still not wanting to play with me because of my bad behavior recently.

Barbara had asked me if I would want to help her burn some financial papers and I thought now would be a good time, so we pulled the chimnea out of a flower bed and started a fire in it.  I enjoyed tossing crumbled paper into it and watching it burn.   By then there were two more boys playing basketball.  They did not speak to me.  I asked Barbara if I could offer them some lemonade.  She said yes so I asked Julian if he and the guys would like a drink.  They all said yes and then Matthew asked me if I wanted to play.  I was now a happy camper.   Before I ran off to play I stirred the ashes to make sure there were no burning embers that could flare up once we left the chimnea.  

There were either six or seven boys in my yard the rest of the day.  Barbara or Mommy kept coming out to check on us.  Barbara fixed us some popcorn.   We took a break so everyone could go home for a few minutes.  Brandon came inside with me and we each had a bowl of oatmeal.  He had apple cinnamon.  I had chocolate chip.

I asked Mommy if Matthew and Anthony could spend the night.  She said they could.  I'm so happy when I have boys sleep over.  We stayed in Mommy's room and mostly we watched videos on u-tube.
