Smart Kids, Mad Moms, and Cold Weather.. What?
January 28th, 2008 22 Comments»Wordcount: 217
My son brought home his report card on Friday. He made all high A’s. He’s also reading on an 8th grade level right now. That’s really great for a 2nd grader. I am so proud of him. I guess I’m proud of myself, too. I must be doing something right. Or he’s just smart.. but then again I’d like to think I can take credit for that too. 
My mom’s going to be annoyed with me. She let me watch one of her netflix movies last week and uh.. I just barely dropped it back in the mail today. It was that movie Good Luck Chuck. She’s probably wondering wtf it hasn’t been returned yet. Oops, sorry Mom!
It’s so cold out. It’s like 40 degrees. I guess to some that probably won’t seem cold, but to those of us who have lived our whole lives in South Texas, it’s freezing! I take my son to the bus every morning at 7 am, and let me tell you.. the first time out early in the morning in freezing cold weather is almost equivalent to that first jump in a cold swimming pool. Once you get used to it, it’s still freezing, but not nearly as numbing. Oh how I wish it were October again.

Wow, congratulations to your son! What a clever little boy. I hope he’s proud of himself, too.
It’s a shame you don’t enjoy winter weather. I kinda like it, as I am from Norway and live in England and neither of those countries are exactly famed for their sunshine. *lol* But I hate hot weather, so it’s good that you can deal with that! I’m envious!
I do like Winter weather, but not when it’s wet and freezing. I can stand the heat, but prefer not to because in Texas when it’s hot.. it’s REALLY hot.
Aww wow your son is really smart! That’s awesome! Really, it was 40 this morning? I didn’t notice but now it’s in the 60s so that’s really nice.
I know I’m late in responding to this.. but yea it was cold that day. What I don’t like about Texas is how you dress warm in the A.M and by noon is blazing hot and you are sweating like a pig. >;[
Congrats on your son’s achievements, that is AWESOME!
& 40 IS cold!!! lol. We’ve been pretty chilly here in vegas too, and it is true, eventually you do get used it.
Thanks Lisa. I’m pretty proud of him.
I’ve never been to Vegas. Have you been to Texas? The weather here is so flip floppy.
Wow, your son is a little genius! :)Congrats to him ^_^
Thanks Becky.
Lmao, omg that movie was sooo funny. I watched it on alluc.org. After he had sex with her he became all stalker like, lol.
Congrats on your son’s high grades. Ahh man, I have a similar experience. My child goes to daycare and when she does her little work I be so proud,lol.
Yeah, that movie cracked me up. I know a few stalkers.. I mean guys like that.
And thanks, It’s good to be proud of your kids and let them know you are proud. The things they make @ school/daycare are so adorable, aren’t they?
Awww you must be one proud mama with your son doing so well in school. Keep up the good work!
So it’s 6 degrees Farenheit here in Michigan, but feels like -14 because of the windchill. I would KILL for it to be 40!!!! I should move to S. Texas!
I am proud, thank you.
And whoa @ 6 degrees. I got chills just thinking about it.
OOOH wow!!!!!!! he is incredibly smart! you defiantly should be proud! thats awesome. i am proud of him!!!
man i been wanting to get netflix, because we watch so much movies!!! we probably spend $500 a year.
well in florida, and i am enjoying the warm 70-80’s, maybe a little too much. i only visited the cold states, never lived in one. even though florida can get might cold!!!
stay warm guys!!!!!! xoxo
Hey Dawn, you should get netflix. It’s such a good deal.. and you get the movies delivered right to your home. It’s a pretty quick service too. Usually only takes a day for them to receive the movie and then you get a new one the very next day.
Congrats on your son’s amazing grades! Hope he keeps it up but doesn’t forget to have fun, too!
Thanks. He has tons of fun
Yeah it’s freezing here in NYC, Raining, windy, and from what everyone is telling me…this is just the beginning. Congrats on your sons good grades and on being a good mommy, my daughter just won student of the month award.
You must be very proud. The Student of The Month award is an awesome accomplishment. Good for her!
grats on your son
hopefully he’ll keep up the hard work when he gets older.
I’m from southern VA and now I attend school in High Point NC-it’s cold here but we’ve had colder days-I remember being in VA and having single digits.
I blame the ozone layer
still I guess it is quite odd for Texas to be in the 40s.at least spring is nearly 2 months away
What’s sad about Texas is.. in the morning it could be 35 and in the afternoon 85.
Very awesome! That’s great that your son is doing so well in school! Lol I can’t rent movies because I never return them on time - I always forget. It’s really cold here too the past few days. The sun is out but the air is like ice =(
I can’t rent movies either.. That’s why netflix works well for me. You just drop it in the mailbox when you are done. You should give it a try. It’s fairly cheap. Plus.. you can keep the movies for a long ass time if you like. ;X
