20130017 - Bad, Ok, Good, Horrible...

20130917 - I was up very late last night trying to catch up and eventually went to bed even more frustrated than previously thought possible...  I was going through emails and found another email where the school had charged me another $50 for D's lunches...  Hold on, school has only been in session for 1 month...  So I did some digging and discovered I could see exactly what was being purchased at school: plate lunch + chips, pop tarts, chicken nuggets everyday!!! Average $6/day!!!  Some how D has spent $108 on food the first month of school!!!  Furious I go back to my inbox and BLAM!  An email from AT&T to Dylan 'You are over your monthly data plan... Your bill will be increased by $15 this month' = 3rd month in a row!!!  Head exploding I am not even sure how I got to sleep...

Up and ready for work I pulled D in for a talk. I tried to explain to him how his bad choices were pilling up; baseball errors = not playing infield, back-talking L&I = no football games/activities with friends...  Hope some of it sinks in...  In to work and feeling like crap about the morning I had with D and all the recent news/changes at work...  Out in the field after talking on the phone with a customer, look down and there's a feather...  Tim was on his way out to see me and we talked quite a bit out there.  He could tell I was upset and talked about raising his son, went through the same stuff...  Later in the day before I left Tim stopped and talked about work which brought my spirit up, he said the changes I have brought have been felt by everyone in the building and I couldn't stop...  This made me feel bit better in the midst of a crappy day.

Home and finally a night of nothing on the calendar.  We all took a bike ride to Rita's for a treat and then stopped at the ball fields to see big head and others we knew.  Home, the boys got hair cuts and then the boys and I hung out in the basement playing the xbox.  After the boys went to bed my neighbor asked that I come down for a chat.  Exhausted, I loaded up and went down to chat.  NO SHIT?!  he wanted to tell me that D was talking about his son at school and it bothered him enough that he had to talk about it with his parents...  WHAT IS GOING ON????  I stayed there for a couple hours talking with them and them home completely defeated.  Obviously I have done something horribly wrong in raising D...  :-(
