That's okay. I read on the Internet that you only need to shower once or twice a week.

Soiree. And thus concludes our French lesson for the day. (Note: We have again touched upon an educational topic. Yay us.)

I think it was, and I was wondering the same thing, hoping it not to be true for the reasons above. Somehow I didn't think you'd want to unleash the ninja elephants (plus one bazooka-totin' pachyderm) on your very own DC. Well, at least for them being sick. For teenagers there might be other possible justifications.

Well, it might also be an aftereffect of the mind-numbing experience of being on the telephone all morning. But I liked my first response better.

Nope. Just a reflection on our awesomeness!

Well, that sounds like positive progress. :001_smile: And YAY on the ultrasound. Knowing the baby's (babies?) sex will help with gift planning!

My former physician called them "germ factories."

I'll let you know. It may take a while for me to get around to it, though.

Perhaps you should add "Life Skills: Independence" to today's agenda. As in, "Today, darling children, you will practice independent time management. Here is a list of things each of you must accomplish. I will be in my bedroom and will give you an hour to do it. You may not ask questions or seek direction during that hour; remember, today we are practicing independence." Then, during "Life Skills: Independence," you can practice "Batteries: Recharging." Me, I'm going back to work on "Laziness: Justifications."

Naturally!

Thank you for caring about me, but I actually live in the most beautiful place on the planet (except maybe for the Kenai peninsula of Alaska-in the summertime.) And I actually like winter. Remember, I'm kinda weird unique. :wacko: :001_tt2:

I need more coffee, but the poop calls.

(Whispering to everyone except Susan: Does the use of "poop" degrade the quality of the flounce?)

Well, great. There goes the whole reason I got up early this morning. I thought you said that you needed reminding?!? :toetap05: (I'm going outside to shovel 23 degree poop. Flounce.)

I think maybe we should ship a case of duct tape to Oldest to kept dh from waking you up. If you were well-rested, perhaps the evil numbers would come down.

And I would chime in on the pregnancy/childbirth/how to get everyone to dote thing, but I would win and Slash would be scared. So, no.

Verdict from DD: Pan 3D is EPIC. Which, I presume, is good. :p

I was wondering about his age relative to my DD's. I was thinking about suggesting she take a look at it at the library. :o

I had to google it. I must confess, it sounds interesting. I love allegory, though. How old is DS?

:grouphug: What a rotten situation. And I'm really sorry that you now have to face a bureaucratic battle to address a problem that never should have been created. Thank you for sharing, though; I suspect that many of us will be paying much closer attention to diagnosis codes in the future.

It's 11:30 and I'm out of likes. :nopity:

Seconding the recommendation of Ambleside Online as possibly a good fit. I have no experience with MEP (although I know others have used and loved it.) We used and loved Math Mammoth for elementary school math, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Good luck to you, OP!

Having finally picked myself up off of the floor, I agree with the posters above who advised notifying your insurance company, the state medical board, and the HSLDA and who suggested a new doctor. I'm pretty cynical and hard to shock, but that one completely gobsmacked me. I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this, OP.

:eek:

Thank you for the information, Julie!
