So Yesterday was Heart Breaking

I was in an incredibly good mood yesterday, ready to take on the world and then POW! POW! POW! POW! Another situation! Of course! The Husband had written me yesterday that he had talked to the director of the kindergarten and that she was very happy with the Kid's progress and pleased we were doing all the things we were doing for him (obviously does not know about the cake he eats all.the.time). That made my day and I walked around all smug like. I didn't wonder why the Husband had talked to the director because she is usually pretty accessible and friendly so it seemed normal that he would have ended up chatting with her in the morning.

I got home just before 6 and hugged my little man and started on dinner. I was looking forward to a chill night of wine in a skull hand glass, fuzzy slippers and satin pj's (popped collar... of course). The Husband came home and then my awesome night fizzled like Jewel's comeback back in 2003 with that terrible Intuition song. Boom! On fire today!

He told me that when he was home in the morning (man flu) he looked out the window (which overlooks the kindergarten) and saw that another boy had purposely rammed his bike into the Kid's bike and then started pulling and pushing him and trying to pull his jacket over his head. The Kid finally escaped and took off. The Husband went directly to the school to report it. When he told me this last night, my heart broke into a million pieces. The Kid can't talk so hasn't been able to tell us. He is also the loveliest, happiest little boy who purposely avoids other kids. I am now wondering how long this bullying has been going on for and if this is what caused his recent fits. If so...


I am literally sick to my stomach that this has happened. I trust the kindergarten to step up their vigilance because if not... ever seen a harpy? You will soon. I don't have anger towards the other boy (well, not that much anger) but I need to know what the deal is. And then I will stand outside his window in a clown suit... I jest I jest... Thank you everybody for your awesome messages and comments. I like that some of you considered a convoy of mafia-like infiltration. Someone else suggested sending the Kid's therapy bills to the parents. I am proud of all my friends today!

It's amazing how we turn into angry angry bears when our kids are hurt. We go from rational parents to "WANNA DANCE WITH THE BEAST, BOY?!?!" in 1 second. Gah. Have kids they said, it will be fun they said. Stay tuned for what happens next. And I would like to take this moment to ask the universe to give me a little break. The good news is that we are meeting the psychology student on Saturday so I will feel like we are doing more. His language is regressing again which could be due to the bullying as well. Actually, maybe I should send the therapy bills to the parents because

This afternoon I have a House of Canada business meeting at Cafe Hawelka with my lovely friend. We have a lot to do for the upcoming Feschmarkt and please check out the site for the awesome awesome stuff http://thehouseofcanada.com/.  The onesies are my favourite! You can also check out the stuff in person - just drop us a message via e-mail or pm and mention that you are coming by.

So that is it for now. The Kid is going to be smothered this weekend because you can't spell smother without mother. My poor little boy... Mommy will get to the bottom of this.

A Key Word Post

Image
I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
