Back from conference and now after dinner (homemade mac and cheese, if you’re interested).
The teacher was very good. She reassured me as to “the Trouble issue”, and his performance. He is making progress that she has noticed, but also she gave me tips on things he can do for extra credit. She also thinks he is tactile learner, which is news to me, but I’m game.
I did indeed get teary eyed, but no biggie. Now I am off to write page 2 (at least!) of my Paper. You all are jealous, I just know it.
Re the underwear debacle. I confess that I am so cheap and stingy, that to spend money on something that never sees the light of day (sadly enough) is hard for me. BUT I draw the line at holes and safety pins. I find shopping for undies about as fun as dental work (note the smooth, elegant inclusion of another MMPers concerns), but it is Something That Must Be Done (at least more than once a decade!).
Are we supposed to post what we’re thankful for? (see, nothing gets by me!).
Well, it’s an odd list, but here goes: sunshine, clear blue skies, cold snows and warm spring days. Baby’s laughing and kid’s losing teeth. Sparklers, and fireflies candles and Christmas lights. My daughter giving me a hug last noc when I came home from work; #1 son smiling at my lame joke tonight at dinner. #2 son’s helping me make brownies today and my husband’s cleaning of the kitchen last noc. I am also grateful for the intellectual stimulation that is grad school (sorry, swampy --there are parts of it that I love), and --well, that’s enough for now.
