Kay, Glad DH was vigilant last night. Sorry they veered off towards the coops, but glad the army ants avoided your house.

Sandy, wishing Jim luck with the appointment today

Renee, know what you mean about small tubs. ick. Hope when they send you to SC you can find a place that has a decent sized tub.

TK, sounds like you're having a great time painting.

Frank, congrats on the one getting the 1000th post

Sarah, Being in charge can be stressful, but if it's an overall quieter place to work - it may be worth it. Praying for your job opportunity.

Morning all. Weird weather once again. High was 40 yesterday, and today will be the 60s. But it's supposed to rain.

Hubby and I compromised a bit yesterday. Didn't do as much as we had planned since I wasn't doing as well, but we did have a great time doing what I was able to do.

Have a test tomorrow morning. Ick, I hate feeling like a lab rat sometimes - lol.

Hope everyone has a great day today.

well we got thunderstorms but not our first thunderstorms of the year those came when it snowed back in jan, now does that make sense. think the frogs and locust are scheduled for next month

howdy howdyhowdy

Hey all you guys and gals. I am so exhausted I could literally fall over!! And I actually slept last night after combining a muscle relaxer and my Ambien! I think it is more mental exhaustion than anything....trial tomorrow and then the standardized tests this week.

But here is a plus...as some of you know my son had severe problems at birth and has learning disabilities and ADD/ADHD and an autism like disorder, however he aside from being small and the LD thing is a pretty normal kid, I homeschool him on a 7th grade level in everything except math and English...there I have him on a 5th grade level.

Well the standardized tests are on a 7th grade level in every subject to see where he compares right? I feel like I have totally accomplished something with this homeschooling! I do make one adjustment to the standardized tests...I read along with him out loud (this is allowed) So far today he has answered over 150 questions,in vocabulary,comprehension,spelling,and study skills...again on a 7th grade level. AND>>>> He knew almost all of them!!!! I think out of 150 he may have missed less than 10 questions. That is awesome!!! Patting myself and him on the back!

However it has left me TIRED!!! Now off to cook dinner......

Wow Renee. You do get a pat and give your son one too. It is wonderful
your hard work has payed off. You go Mom, good job.

Sox

EXCELLENT

deb and I are also parents of LD kids with autism and severe adhd etc.. congrats, you did great as did your son, I say its time for the two of you to sneak out to DQ for a treat, congrats

Good job Renee. You should be very proud...of both of you!

good job, son of NaeNae!

Wow, Renee - that's something to be really proud of.

I scared to watch "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" unless I am alone....then nobody can see how many questions I get wrong!!

Anyone who homeschools and excels at it should be proud of themselves!!

That is great news about your son, Renee!!! Glad to hear it!

I give homeschoolers much credit...I wanted to when our first son was bored in Kindergarten....but then had to work full time...so veered from it...but from what I have read and looked into over the years...Many homeschooled children are much higher educated then kids thru the public schools....I think the direct attention..and learning with hands on....and with interest....

anyhow...tub for two...yes I know how to squeeze two into a tub for one too...hehehehehe

GUESS what...IT IS SNOWING HERE>>>I MEAN we could get quite a bit...we are in a winter storm warning....can they give WINTER storm warnings on March 31st...overnt to April 1st....is this a sick April Fools joke..?? hehe

hugss all, sarah ( I have till next Monday I think to decide on my job opportunity...that is when the owner will be back from his vacation)
