i got a letter from connor's school today announcing who his teacher is.

i also got a letter that said i had the option to transfer him b/c they didn't meet their no child left behind goal for english.

i have no intention of transferring him b/c i know it is a great school. the letter actually said that the two groups that did not meet the goals were low income and special needs, which i thought was surprising. not that those groups didn't meet the goals necessarily, but that the letter specified like that.

anywho, the point of the story is that if you decide to transfer-

1. school starts 9/10, but you can't transfer until 9/17??

2. if you transfer you have to ride the bus to your original school every day and then they will have a shuttle bus to the transfer school. same in the afternoon. that just seems silly to me.

corey, i'm surprised they specified too. probably so all the other parents didn't freak out and transfer their kids.

since my kids had been doing so well with my no tv rule for 3 weeks i decided to let up a little and let them choose 1 movie a day. for some reason, maybe the slower pace of movies and lack of commercials??, connor doesn't seemed to get so hyped up watching them.

anyways...they have chosen to watch the exact same care bears movie every flipping day. i am about to stab myself in the eye.

I now have all kinds of pressure and discomfort. I am chugging water and laying down. I am not pregnant enough to have issues already. I have a feeling this baby is gonna cause lots of drama

*sigh*

sounds like a girl to me. :P

omg seriously

I swear I will be SHOCKED if it isn't.

I think I preferred the plain old pregnancy induced hypertension that I had with Lucas.

oh, and it also said that because of space limits, the option to transfer would be limited, with preference going to low income and special needs kids. seems like maybe they just need to invest in some programs geared towards these groups instead of shuttling them to another school where they will most likely be taught in a similar way.

Yeah what she said.

And the shuttle bus thing is stupid

Corey · Guru

ll-

i am so excited to find out what you are having!

i don't know why i could patiently wait to find out my own kid's gender, but can't stand the anticipation when it comes to other people. biggrin

wow, that is ridiculous.

one thing to know is that the students on F&RL can qualify for free tutoring to bring up those scores. that COULD happen this year and then they would meet their goal.

this is exactly my new job. :)

i can't get over this peanut butter, jelly, butter concoction that was posted in the lunch thread.

apies · Guru

when i was a kid, my bio dad made us pb & butter sandwiches.

i loved them then, but the thought makes me gag now.

We can't wait to find out either. I have spent like $40 on ebay on clothes. Nothing is gender neutral. It is mixed boy and girl clothes though.

that is b/c the factory is in *i think* woburn.

yum.

when i lived in missouri the grocery store (piggly wiggly-lmfao) didn't have fluff in the aisle with the pb.

so i asked and they had NO idea wtf it was.

i said "you know...to make fluffernutter sandwiches."

so the guy got on the p.a. system and said "this here girl is lookin' to make herself a fluffernutter sandwich" and everyone started laughing hysterically.

then they informed me it was marshmallow creme and was kept with the cake mixes because it is only used in baking.
