We're a pissy bunch aren't we?:D
I was joking around, but now I'm starting to get worried.

It's well after 2:30. :toetap05:

My oldest doesn't have a sense of humor, so I can't judge by him, but my middle son thought they were hilarious!

That's a line! And, technically it's morning - so you could POAS now! ;)

I have stackable rings from Red Envelope. http://gifts.redenvelope.com/gifts/stackable-birthstone-rings-30009972 I wear the stone from my oldest on top left, middle in the middle and youngest on the bottom right.

I can't believe you wouldn't do that for us!:(
:tongue_smilie:
I think you're just enjoying all the drama and prolonging it on purpose. ;) :lol:

Looks like you edited while I was posting. I'm glad you figured it out.

Amazon is acting weird for me today. I received a year of Prime free when I signed up for Amazon Mom (and purchased mom things). I added a few books to my cart and they didn't show as Prime, but as "Eligible for Super Saver Shipping". I checked my account status and saw that I still had a month left on my Prime membership, so I logged out and back in again and the items did show as Prime this time. I think there must be some glitch in the system.

Stand your ground, plus take a video with your phone or even a big camera of her doing it!
:iagree: If you make it obvious you are filming her I can't imagine she would crash into you. and if she does, then you have the proof.
I really can't wait until tomorrow to find out what happens. hehe

We have a white siding and brick mix and we chose tuxedo gray for our shutters and front door. Our roof is a similar gray , so it tied in together. Neighbors with similar houses went with black shutters and red doors.

My parents and my MIL come to everything. They wouldn't dream of missing a thing. My parents come to EVERY soccer game, swim meet, baseball game, pinewood derby, etc. MIL doesn't do all of the sports but she comes to a good number of them.
FIL and step-MIL live in Florida and hardly even call on birthdays, including my husband's. But they've made their choices.

32/32 here too. And my 10-year old looking over my shoulder knew 24 of them too. 16 as the average for Christians is pretty disturbing. I will have to have my 8-year old take it.

I have found the perfect end of year gift for this teacher:
If only he were wearing a kilt.

Oh good! I was wondering too. Things got crazy here with my mom having bypass surgery, so I never got around to trying to contact the people from last year. Once the details get mailed down, we can make a concerted effort to spread the word.

All right. Clearly no one thinks WS would be a good fit. You all wore me down. We don't do enough to practice writing across the curriculum, so I will incorporate more of that and review WWS 1 lessons that he struggled with the most for the next year.
Thanks for the input.

I've only done the first two levels - Music of the Hemisphere and Building Poems - but we did just fine with only the TM.

I despised Writing Strands. And after reading your number theory answers on the high school board, I have a feeling you may despise it, too. :)
Just my intuition. Could be wrong!
:lol: I'm much more a math geek than a language arts geek.
Lucinda - I don't want to change. I like WWS. I just think he isn't quite mature enough for it yet, so I wanted to fill the gap for one year. I guess I could do WTM-inspired writing across the curriculum. But I know my weaknesses and I'm not organized enough to pull that off. I need something that comes already planned.
How about CW? Many here seem to like it.

I don't know about the MSMC 1 and 2, but I would assume the Pre-Algebras are interchangeable. What year is the "New Edition"? If later, it may have filtered out the references to computer programming in BASIC.
I am actually using both the Pre-Algebra Accelerated Course and Dolciani's Modern School Mathematics Pre-Algebra (1973) together for my son's Pre-Algebra. The Accelerated version has more word problems and more practice drills (and is visually more appealing), but the 1973 version is based around set theory and includes other number theory (like base number systems through base 12 and converting repeating decimals to fractions). I couldn't choose, so I use both.

Thanks for the bump and the responses.
He hates writing and sees everything as black and white. When I ask him to imagine something (for any situation, not just writing) he absolutely refuses to. He insists he is incapable of thinking about anything that isn't real. So I'm afraid creative writing would only create fights. He tolerates WWS, but wouldn't mind if we switched.
Does WS just allow more freedom or is it creative/imaginative?

Phew. I feel better now. And I think we should ask TPTB for some math typesetting capabilities. :D

Another Charlie's here. I loved it so much that I use it for all our clothes. My towels are cleaner than they have ever been.
