I wish I saw this earlier.

Lucas's bus is fixed. I have issue with the time and where they are picking him up but I will fight that over the next week. At least he has a bus now.

hi everyone.

we're home from the zoo and the kids are laying down for naps. emily has to be at school from 3:15-4pm for assessments, so i will have to wake them up around 2:30 or so.

i have been running a fever since late last night and i feel like crap.

mel - i wanted to tell you that i definitely understand how scaring the proposition of moving to an entirely new place is. we did that multiple times, as you know. looking back on it now, i know that it had a tremendous impact on my strength and character and also made me a better mother. and i know that matt is very successful with his job and has given us a life we would not have had otherwise. when i met him, he was making $6.50 an hour teaching himself to write HTML to build a website for a magazine publisher. now he makes a great salary and has a lot of respect in his industry. feel free to message me anytime to vent or talk or whatever.

Oh, April, I'm sorry you're feeling sick.    I hope you feel better!

Alexandra:
tell her you'll take her to the doctor and the she probably will need a needdle to get well...
Not the best thing but it work with Diego when he was in kindergarden.

Agreed.
Let her be bored...
She is probably just asking for attention but if you let her come home to play she is just going to do it when she feels like it.

LL, I will be wanting a spider bow. Do you have any others up your sleeve? Thanksgiving? Fall in general?

Hello!

I just got Henry's first folder with some actual test grades.

Science test - 70. That's the one we used last year's study techniques to study. He may have done better if we'd started a day earlier but the study guide came home the day before the test. I'm not thrilled with 70 but I bet it would have been worse if we hadn't studied like we did.

Social Studies (test?) - 65. Henry told me about this test the day after he took it. There was no mention of a test at all. I didn't even realize they had started SS yet. Communication issue? So I guess I will request a conference. I'd like to go ahead and get working on Henry's school/study habits asap.

The rest of his grades (daily work) were good--all A's and B's. I'm THRILLED with that.

Hi, Tracy and Roxana!

I'm having a really good today despite some pretty severe pain in my head, neck, shoulder, lower back.

I sorted through some coupons this morning while watching all my dvr'd episodes of Criminal Minds. Then I watched one dvr episode of Without a Trace.

I had some chicken noodle soup and a cheese tortilla for lunch.

After that, I went to help the kindergarteners in the lunch-line in the cafeteria. I was supposed to help a kid in Mark's class with his letters but that kid was absent today so I got to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to the class. Then I helped the kids make coconut trees with the letters in their names falling down them, and I taped them to the wall outside the classroom.

I left there and got two Special Dark candy bars. I got home and ate them while watching today's DOOL. Then I went back to school and got the kids. They're having a snack and watching SpongeBob.

Somewhere in all of that, I did some laundry.

It was pretty nice, just relaxing at home this morning and watching TV.
