Shopping Stops

January 8th, 2012 at 09:14 pm

Weary of being in the house and wearier still of my cold, DD and I did some shopping yesterday. First stop Target. Lots of great deals with those TGT on-line coupons and returned a few Christmas things. Thrill of the trip? A new ironing-board cover. They seemed to have lots of cute things, all of which I resisted. Then on to Blood, Bath, and Beyond (The Simpsons gets full credit for that name) to replace DD's broken jewelry holder which DH stepped on two days after Christmas. More joy there: It was on sale, and I had a coupon. Famous Footwear followed with frequent buyer credits and a sale bringing the $44 shoes down to $6.49! One more stop at CVS where we met the mom of one of DD's friends. DD's friend has been having problems being bullied on the playground, so we invited her for a playdate next week. The school has a no-tolerance policy, but some bullying is creepy intimidation. These girls say nothing to the little girl, just follow her and glare at her. She walks away, they surround her and do it again. I felt so bad for her mom too--big dark circles under her eyes from worrying about the situation. Anyway, we bought enough to get rid of my expiring EB and get a great deal on dishwasher soap.

I've looked up the site for the will, and intend to work on it tomorrow. And that's about the size of it. Cold, Cold--go away!

    I hope that that mom is advocating for her daughter. The year my son was being bullied I was down at that school more times than I can count. The mother has to be a squeaky wheel and needs to explain what is going on and the recess duty teachers need to be made aware of what is going on. Silent intimidation is just as much bullying as shoving and taunts and the school must be forced to put a stop to it. If they won't, she needs to go on up the chain of command until action is taken.

    You know I wish people would teach their kids not to bully; unfortunately, the kids who bully has parents that are often bullies. This has got to stop. Hats off to you for inviting her over
