Bullies and Billfolds

Well it's offical, I do believe that Hunter may be a bully. Of course he didn't learn these "tendencies" from me, as I've always looked out for the underdog. The worst part is he is bullying kids in Sunday School (God forgive him, please!!)







Hunter has not made it through a whole service in Sunday School for weeks, but today we had a pep talk. I asked him if he would make it the whole time in Sunday school and he nodded yes... and he did make it indeed. However, when he caught a glimpse of daddy at the door to pick him up, it was all over. He tore across the room, knocking over anyone or thing that was in his way. In fact, he went so far to push another child out of his way by placing his hand on the boy's head and propelling himself off of him. I don't believe there were any hurt children, as I didn't hear any crying, but I do find myself slightly appalled at this behavior. How do we teach him that it's not nice to push other people???







So this brings me to my other topic, billfolds. Jebb lost his for a few days this week. It's such a pain to lose this item that can easily be taken for granted. You really don't realize how much you rely on this little leather thing until it's gone...







So we literally tore the house apart, no billfold. Drove around the neighborhood (as we had been on a walk before he realized that the billfold was missing) and looked through both vehicles. By Wednesday we were resigned with the fact that the billfold was gone, so we called the bank and reorderd our debit/credit cards, Jebb went to the SS administration (I know you aren't supposed to have that in your billfold, but it was) to get another Social Security card, because he couldn't get his driver's license without it. Then he had to go to the Department of Public Safety and get his Texas Driver's License...he was very upset about this, as he has proudly displayed his Alaska Driver's License since I've known him. Of course, I've mentioned what Jebb has gone through, but I've had some problems with this too. My cards had to be reissued as well, and you don't realize how big of a pain that can be until you are without the plastic. I'm telling you, remember the days when all you did were write checks...well those days are over. You're lucky to find places that will accept checks anymore. It's crazy. So I found myself going to the cashier before going anywhere and asking...Do you accept checks?????







So we are now sitting here hoping that we get some form of plastic card in the mail tomorrow, as we are leaving on vacation on Tuesday morning. We haven't been able to rent our car or reserve our carseat and crib that we are renting. And the idea of traveling with traveler's checks and cash is so unappealing...







As I mentioned we will be taking off on Tuesday for a vacation to Hawaii. We are both looking forward to our trip over there, especially since it will be Hunter's first experience in a pool and at the beach. We'll take plenty of pictures and fill everyone in on the details when we get back!!!
