Parenting

Last night was back to school night. Another area that I feel lonely in. First off there is only one of me and two children, and classes to hit and teachers to meet. For the most part I enjoyed seeing the kids schedule's and meeting their favorite teachers. It was hotter than haides in that school though. I bet it was 100 degrees in that school and that was at night! I can't imagine what those kids have to go through during the day when the sun is shining. Oh man! How can they learn in an enviroment like that? And the poor teachers.
The elementary school that feeds the kids middle school was complaining because they didn't have air and it was making it impossible to teach the kids, because they were so hot. Well I agree with that.
When I came out last night to the car there had been some vandalism. Someone had gone through and taken all the gas caps off of cars that they could. Mine was locked so I was okay, but they through them all around the parking area, and one must have skimmed off my hood because I have deep scratches on my hood. They tore bumpers off of vehicles. I hope they catch who did this.
But back to my original thoughts. I don't know any of the other parents, I am not sure I really want to - honestly. But it would have been nice to greet someone and to feel apart of it all. I know, I know - I was there for my kids not to socialize.....but still......sigh.
I didn't fit in at their elementary school because we lived out in the country and not in the additions with all of them. And then we moved and didn't live by the school. But here at the middle school. We live here. It all goes back to knowing your neighbors. I must be the one to change this. Who else is going to do it? No one else is going to initiate a get together to learn who the neighbors are. It must be me.
