Here I am!
Sorry for the delay in posting. My life is hectic as you can imagine! Being a single mother is the hardest job I have ever had and I do know that I have it better than most considering Scott is still very active in Tyler's life. My days are jam packed and lately I have even been busy at work! Imagine that!
So what have we been up to? Good stuff first. Tyler is doing Boy Scouts again so that started and he seems to still like it. He is going to have his First Holy Communion this year - so classes for that have started. He has been doing basketball on Saturday mornings. He is getting better and better. Sometimes I am really impressed by his athleticism. He started soccer two weeks ago. Anything else? I think that covers it. Can you understand how busy my life is? It is totally run by this child. Thank goodness puppy training is over because that was just another day of rushing! Not to mention that second grade certainly isn't first grade! He has been having a TON of homework. Second grade has turned my son who loves doing homework into a homework groaner!
Things are actually pretty stressful right now. He is having a hard time at school. I don't know if it is because of the move, the change, the grade, what?? I feel bad because I do know how fortunate I am. For this child's entire life he has been so easy. I mean he did everything he was supposed to, when he was supposed to do it. Everything was just a breeze. He slept through the night, he ate everything I fed him. He gave up the pacifier the day I took it from him. He potty trained himself. He is just such a pleasant easy child. Pretend to hear the brakes sound right now. All that is changing! He is acting like a crazy man at school. Not really crazy. He has been not turning in his homework, talking in class and even bullying!! Where did he get this from?? I talked to his teacher the other day and she said that the good thing about Tyler is that he is a leader. The bad thing about Tyler is that he leads his friends over to the dark side!! He is truly the class clown. He makes everyone laugh but at the wrong time. What am I going to do? This is honestly the hardest thing I have ever done. It is just weird. I love this child more than I love anything in this world and the only thing I have EVER wanted to be good at is being his mother. I would do anything for him and give anything to be able to make him happy. What happened - where did I go wrong? I have failed at so many things in this life, but I refuse to fail him. I will be a good mother to him and give him everything he needs. We will get through this. I am hoping he is just going through a stage - but I can't be sure. He has been lying and all kinds of weird things. Me and Scott have shown him that we stand together in this and hopefully things will just calm down. In the mean time I hope I don't lose my mind. Say a little prayer for us!
