I consider battling waves of undiagnosed depression and coming out the Victor every time pretty good. :D

Not if it brings me joy. :P

I've always wanted a rubber chicken. Just because.

And ... she awoke with diarrhea in her undies. Thankfully, that's easy to clean. See, there are some things she's not supposed to eat for a reason. (insert face palm here)

I'll be looking for it on Roku.

Nah. It pops up periodically.

I would love to take the 4 year old and run away.

Not only does dd want to quit that school, she wants to quit dance altogether. Her quiting dance makes me sad.

Hear, hear! I'm on my last three courses. Week 3 of 5 in the emergent literacy course, and then 2 research courses. Last day of last class is 11/7!

Too bad we don't live close. Dh would do it.

I never had that problem with my sisters. But, I can be your cousin.

I'm on my way to work in a few. Dd is cleaning the kitchen. Dh is wondering why in the world she is fooling around and going to school today.

REally? Can it be past 1am? Why, it is! I guess i should go to bed, considering I should attend a training with VSHG @ about 7am, and then have to go to work at 8am. I think older dd will attend the first day of school, because she has something to prove to the special ed coordinator concerning the chemistry class. And, she wants to see the school tour, since she started late last year, she never got one. :glare: I told her regardless, we're homeschooling, even if she changes her mind at this point. She's all for it. I wonder what dh will say when he finds out she's attending the first day. He'll be here with Little (I'll already be gone), so he might just tell her no. Guess i'll find out when I get back home.

Yes. The school needed an updated eval. We got there on Friday, and the evaluator realized that dd doesn't turn 16 until the end of September. I know you know this, but for others who don't - an eval at age 16 and above carries to college for accommodations. So she just did the academic part so the school can work out accommodations (which will probably be the same as always), and the school agreed to wait on the other part until she turns 16. If she's going to school, the school will pay for it. If she's not going to school, we'll have to pay for it. Unless we go through the district. Which will take forever, and may not be as comprehensive as this private contractor.

:lol: Part of the problem is, I have no homeschool plans either. Other than the classes at VHSG and geometry with Jann. I have the Notgrass World History books I got from when I started MFW Ancients last year. We can go through them for English, history, and Bible credit. I think. She wants to study Italian. and I have no plan for Spanish language arts. AND, I'll have to pay for the evaluation after she turns 16 OOP. OOP! Good grief. I'm going to the store to get school supplies. She reasoned that she still needs supplies to homeschool.

Well, older dd supposed to start school tomorrow. But, I keep thinking - why bother if she's going to get pulled out anyway? She's old enough to stay home alone, or to stay out of the way at my school. She's my built-in babysitter for short periods of time. When I mentioned her not going at all, she said, "YES!" I don't even have school supplies for her. Sheesh.

Well, your mother certainly has shoes I could never fill, but I can always be the sister you've never had. And boss you around.

I was going to multiquote to offer to be your sister too, but since we were already mother/dAughter, I wasn't sure how that'd work out. :D

I'll be your sister.

I'm black and, not counting my family, I don't have any black friends. There just aren't that many blacks in my area; it's mostly Hispanic, with immigrants from all over the world and some white folks mixed in. There is a black lady that helps run the mobile grocery that I get some food from every week. I guess she'd count. Growing up, I was more white than black, so there's that.

I was in ninja elephant mode.

I don't think that one was a spammer. I checked his content.

Spring for the massage, duh!

I discovered last night that I can put the Roku app on my phone and control the tv from anywhere in the house. [insert evil laugh here]

Looks like we sucked in another one!
