Today, just a few short hours ago, I commented on another blog that I thought the book I am currently reading is making me a better mother. It is giving me hope. I feel better. Ladybug is acting better.
I picked her up from school today and the first thing she said is, "Mama, I gotta tell you something."
I have learned that nothing good ever, ever, ever follows those words. My heart sank. I tried not to groan. And I tried not to hit my head on the steering wheel. I should at least wait to see what it is she has to tell me before I react.
Me:Okay, so what would you like to tell me...
Ladybug: I had to go down to the principal's office today.
Me: Okay...why? (still trying to hold it together)
Ladybug: Because I got mad at A (girl in her class that she doesn't like) and I told her I was going to kill her.
Really? Seriously? So I look in her backpack. Maybe she is making it up??? Yellow note. That is a principal note. "Class bully" "Threatened to kill." She is in KINDERGARTEN.
Maybe things are not going as good as I had thought.
Lots of crying -- mostly me. And very tired.
Mean Mama

Hang in there, forwards steps count for more than backward steps in my opinion. Do you think she really meant it? I probably said that in grade school too, I realize the schools "have" to take it a lot more seriously.
