Yes. You can then have the scores sent to college last for admissions

The ACT is mandatory for all juniors in NC. I think this lowers the scores overall since scores are being compared to years ago when only college bound students took the tests.

I hope you talk to your lawyer and you are able to have your custody agreement augmented to prevent him from attending school/sporting events. His behavior is way out of line. Hopefully your son didn’t have to witness this out burst. Your right this is going to eventually impact your son’s social connections. Other parents will judge. If I was just looking in from the outside I wouldn’t want my kid around your dh if our kids were friends.

@heartlikealion Happy birthday This week I ran 6.5 miles With hills Tuesday, 8 miles Wednesday, and 6 miles with a track workout Thursday. I was planning on swimming this morning but changed my mind practice starts at 5:30 am and I have a long day ahead. I need to pick my dd up from university and that’s a 7 hr round trip drive that I can’t get started on until 1. So I decided sleeping in wins out. I’ve been disappointed by my run times lately. I came into last fall running faster than I am now. Last summer I was able to get a lot more running in. This summer between triathlon training and some circumstances beyond my control I ran less. I was still active with biking and swimming but none of that helps running. I want to keep a base line of biking and swimming this winter to not lose what I have gained for next summer’s triathlon season but I also want to get in more running for my upcoming marathon. I’m debating hiring a coach to map this all out but I already spend a fair amount between run practice and swim practice and at the end of the day I am just a back of the packer.

Yesterday I biked 25 miles. Today was an hour swim practice.

I ran a little over 12 miles this morning with my run group. The weather was gorgeous and it’s always nice running with company.

I ran 8 miles Wednesday morning and got in a strength workout. Thursday I had an early morning appointment 2 hours away so I ran 3 miles before dinner. I don’t know how people workout in the evening by that time of the day my motivation is gone.

I ran 6 miles with my run training group this morning. I didn’t get any strength training in today.

I visited my dd this weekend and ran 12 very hilly miles. Today was a pool workout this morning and I’ll run 3 miles this afternoon. @heartlikealion it’s kind of an indoor outdoor pool. I live in the south. They put a bubble over it for the winter.

Thursday I ran 5 miles with my run group. The last 2 miles were a speed pyramid. It was tough. Today was an hour swim practice.

I ran 8 miles this morning and finally got the yard mowed.

Honestly no appreciates this kind of advice. Flip it around you are trying to help your husband out by doing one of his chores- weeding the garden bed, cleaning the garage, whatever you are happily going along using your own method and he butts in to correct some minor detail that has no bearing on the final result.

Has she ever directly asked her husband about the finances? I agree with keeping the kids out. You can’t complain that the husband is venting to the daughter and draw the son into the drama.

How did she become privy to the text messages between her husband and his sister? Her husband should be able to vent privately with someone much like she is venting with you. Two things that stick out to me: 1. No matter how supposedly wealthy they are they are very young to retire. They could easily plow through a fortune and run out of money in the next 30+ years that they will be retired. Having cleaning help etc for just a couple of adults seems excessive. He’s probably seeing for the first time how much extra time she has and how little she does. Setting up trusts now makes sense if you want to insure that money is passed along to the next generation. 2. Given all of her communication issues she’s not really being a partner to her husband.

I ran 5 miles of hills this morning with my running group. Hopefully I’ll get in an upper body workout this afternoon.

I ran 6 miles this morning. I was hoping to either mow the yard or strength train but it looks like neither will be happening today. @Soror I’m solely a road bike rider. I’m nowhere near brave enough for trails.

I had a nice 26 mile bike ride today. It was sunny and warm but not too hot. I biked a new to me route down by the river.

I ran 12 miles this morning. The weather was lovely mid 60’s and low humidity. We started at 5:30 and we’re able to catch a beautiful sun rise over the ocean.

I got in an hour bike ride. Other than that it’s a rest day.

I got my upper body workout in yesterday. Ran 5 miles with my run training group this morning. The weather is finally cooling down so it was beautiful out there. Hoping to get a core workout in this afternoon. I’ve got to get back to foam rolling. It’s such a short thing to do but so easy to for go.

My understanding is that the chlorine for water treatment plants is shipped by train. I believe that’s the first problem we will face.

Has anyone been following the potential for a railroad worker strike in the US? What do you think this will mean in terms of shortages? Lets keep this apolitical Thanks

I got in a core workout yesterday. I ran 6 miles this morning and will do an upper body workout this afternoon. My pool is closed for the week to put the bubble up for winter so I may try to get in an open water swim Friday.

Honestly having taught in a young earth co-op I would not show them those paintings. It goes against the covenant in my experience. It’s similar to discussing other hominids. It’s not appropriate for you to bring up given the rules you agreed to. I ran a science Olympiad team where most of my participants were evangelical young earth families. I let the families know from the beginning which events (ie fossils, earth science, biology topics which include evolution etc) they would be incompatible with a young earth belief. There’s literally no point in discussing prehistory with students who are taught that the Bible is literal history.

I got in an upper body strength workout yesterday. Today I ran 5 miles with my run training group and will hopefully do a core workout this afternoon. I have a half marathon coming up in November and a full marathon in February. I need to plot out my training for both. I want to keep up with my biking and swimming since Tri season starts shortly after February here.
