Well I'm home. The meeting with DD teacher went better than expected. She is a little behind in Science and Social Studies (averaging a D in both), but we have a couple of weeks to bring it up before grades are averaged for report cards. She is B's or better in everything else. The teacher is "concerned" because she feels that DD fidgets too much with the stuff in her desk and doesn't keep her desk neat. She's in 4th grade, and from what I saw of her desk the only thing wrong with it was 2 or 3 loose pieces of paper sticking out. Everything else looked fine. As far as the fidgeting, she's in 4th grade. I remember when I was in fourth, and I did a whole lot more than fidget. I was passing notes, talking, etc...ya know. But I assured her I'd have a talk with DD about it, and I will. I really wish I had not let DD talk me into letting her into public school this year, and I went ahead and homeschooled her again. But the nearest homeschool group is over a hour away and she really wanted to have other kids to interact with and I can understand that, but this particular school, in my opinion, has alot of issues. I've been dealing with them on and off for 7 years (my stepson went there when we he lived with us), and every year they seem to go farther downhill. This school has had more parents pull their kids out and homeschool them or put them in private school than all of the other schools in the county combined, so it's not just me. Oh well...enough about that cause if I keep thinking about it I'll end up not being in a very good frame of mind.
I have a ton of stuff to do. I have to take the trash down (we don't have trash pickup here, we have to take it to the dump ourselves), but I have to dismantle the patio set and load it up too. That poor thing is soooo shot!! Then I have to get laundry done, mow the yard (3/4 of an acre with a push mower
, find some science and social studies projects for DD to do for extra credit to help bring up her grade and go to the store to get the stuff, clean the bathrooms, and pick DD up at school at 3:30. And that's only the stuff at the top of the list. All I really want to do is take a nap and be lazy
. I didn't even manage to drag my but out of bed and workout this morning. When that alarm went off at 4 am I rolled over and said no way!
Leenie- you're right it's MOANDAY!
Liz and Ashlie- have a good day at work!
I'll check back later and see how everyone's doing. Sorry about the rant today. I just had to get it off my chest. TTYL
