Back To School Night

So last night was back to school night for the oldest. I guess I need to think up names for all of them huh. I've seen some cute stuff like Hansel and Gretel but I think I'll keep it simple... oldest will be 9k, he's the boy. then there is 6K, girl. and 3K, girl. Luckily I never have to worry about the ex stumbling on this...doesn't even own a computer, much less know how to use one. Hell, 3K is obsessed with the song From Yesterday by 30 Seconds to Mars and her mom thought when she was asking to hear Yesterday she meant the beatles...lol...contemporary music escapes her.



Anywho, like I said, last night was back to school night for 9k, so I went, along with my fiance and the ex. It was funny because here are all just these mom's and a few dads, (most of them a good 10-20 years older than me) I don't think there were any couples, just one parent from each household. And then theres us, not just one, but three! The teachers greeted me and I'm sure they were about to say, "The kindergartners room is over that way!" Because there is no way anyone would ever think I was old enough to have a 4th or 5th grader. But my fiance stepped in and rescued me, loudly introducing me as his fiance. It was funny, the teacher going "oh you must be 9k's mom! to the ex because she was sitting in his seat, and she goes yes! then she looks at my fiance and he introduces him self as 9k's dad sitting in someone elses seat next to 9k's and then she curiously looks at me, considering, I believe we are about the same age, and goes, "heeelllllllooooo?" Thank god my fiance is proactive. There was a quiz on how well you know your 4th/5th grader and so the three of us are all trying to answer the questions and we all got one right I think. One of the questions was 'what would your child wish for if they could have anything?' and my fiance goes, a motocross bike, and ex goes, 'oh you know it doesn't have to be material, he could wish for something else! yooou know!' while looking at my fiance with big eyes. and all I could think was omg what a beeeyoch to say that in front of me, and I hoped hoped HOPED he hadn't written he wished his mom and dad would get back together even tho I know that is a common childhood wish of divorced kids. So I went to get his answers next to his picture on the wall, and he had wished for a Lamborghini with nitrous. ahhh good boy. lol.

So I spend the next half hour explaining to each of them what learning point is and how to use a computer to access it. Not that it matters, since she doesn't have a computer and all my fiance knows how to do is check his e-mail and play poker. *sigh* Technology is SO wasted on the old.

Well, I get to do this all over again in two weeks for 6k. I would love to help in their classrooms since I have a really flexible schedule, but I don't know the rules/etiquette on that. Since I'm not legally their step mom yet and I'm not sure if that is solely 'biomom only' territory. I know she doesn't have the time/want to work in their classrooms, since she didn't fill out the volunteer forms... and scoffed when the teacher asked about it...if anyone reads this, lemme know what you think! Is that out of line? It's something I would love to do. I am in school to become a teacher anyways.

Another interesting point. I was reading some bridal magazine while lying on the beach with my man yesterday, and it said 48% of women wish they could take a hiatus from work to plan their weddings full time. I feel soooo lucky to have a job (that I La-La-Looove) where I have a lot of down time. I'm a nanny. :) I know aren't you jealous. I work for three families, all of which have two kids. So in addition to having three wonderful step children who love me, I have six wonderful kids I watch that are sweet as cherry pie and love me too! I'm wwucky I nnnooo (as the three year olds would say)
