Good Afternoon, Flowers! It is a beautiful day in my corner of the world and the ice is melting . . . will the plows come out and level off the ice piles in the streets? Not a chance! I was busy at the gift shop this morning; all of the Christmas items were 50% off and yes, I did buy a Christmas tree! It is made of metal wire sort of spiral swirled to look like a tree. It is gold, covered with glitter, and with tiny white lights running up the middle. It would make a great table centerpiece if the lights were battery operated. I need to make a grocery run and am putting that off as long as possible. I have laundry going and don't want to leave the dryer running.
My "sister" finally met with her doctor and the pathologist couldn't decide what kind of cells were in the biopsy. Her retired doctor husband felt that was good news in that if they are cancer cells they are very "light" and easily treatable. So now another pathologist will take a look -- get this, if she doesn't hear from them in a week she is to call them back! Like this has gone on since the first part of December! Her doctor said that if it is cancer they will administer chemo directly into the liver and if not, they will do surgery and remove 75% of her liver. Either way doesn't sound like much fun, but it would be nice to know what they are dealing with.
"Gma" -- The kids definitely know how to play one teacher against another. Supposedly the whole idea of co-teaching was to bring special ed. students up to a higher level. In the math classes they seem to do as well, if not better, than some of the regular ed. students because they get extra help in the special ed. study halls. Most of them do struggle with the English classes and interpreting literature/poetry. They would never dream of coming in before or after school to get extra help. The "love and logic" thing, to me, seems more geared towards the elementary students. Our kids have the additude of "oh well, make me!" I'm sure your handbag will turn out great! I had to laugh at the mental picture of you all covered up and the fan blowing on your head. I could not get warm in bed last night -- finally got up and put a pair of socks on. Sometime during the night I took them off, but I don't remember doing that.
I do need to keep at the laundry and head off to the grocery store. Have a great day and remember to !
Jean -- in Iowa!
