Paige Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 DDs(13) take 1 class a day at school and called me to pick them up over 30min early because they were done. Lucky for them I was home. Yet again the school didn't inform us about random schedule changes- I even asked last week b/c I was expecting shenanigans. I sent DD back in after picking them up to ask again if there would be any surprises for tomorrow and was told they had to be there at totally different than normal times tomorrow (good thing I checked) but that if I didn't want to send them they didn't have to go and would just be marked absent. :huh: What's wrong with these people? To go or not to go....DDs don't want to go. It's the last week of school and they said they've been doing literally nothing since last week. Even in band the teacher says they can just do what they want and be quiet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Stoopid "indoor" cat rushed by me when I opened the door and is out with the bears, bobcats and cougers.

prairiewindmomma Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ah, quark in Austria is called Topfen (pot cheese?) and I've also seen it called white cheese and farmer cheese. Jean--hope your issues get sorted out....cat, kidney, and otherwise. This week does not want to reboot. I have gotten ds registered for Physics, and sorted out some volunteer opportunities for the scout troop, but that's it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 DS has a dentist appointment today at noon. I like his pediatric dentist office, but it is in a nearby city and I have to drive on a busy highway which always has fatal accidents. I know other roads have accidents. It could happen anywhere. But this particular road freaks me out. I stress more about the drive than the possibility of cavities. I need more coffee. :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Got a scammer call. The guy just kept saying "Hello?" so I just kept saying ""Hello" right back to him, except in a louder and louder voice, until I was nearly yelling. I was wondering how long he would keep saying "Hello?" to me. He finally hung up. #notinthemoodtoplay Edited June 12, 2017 by Susan in TN 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 As a joke Dh pointed the cat out to Bailey and said "sic em". Bailey went after the cat! I knew we had an attack bunny. Watch out world! (No cats or bunnies were injured in this experiment. ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk BIL & family & 2 nephews all stayed at ILs house last night and left today. Both girls and I returned home after they all left to drive back north. One dog of theirs they adopted more than a year ago -- they had taken the dog in after watching it one weekend for a friend of my niece's, only to find out the mother of the friend kept the dog in the garage 23 hours a day -- they found this out when the dog fought hard not to have to go back with the other family. BIL & family offered to take the dog and let the friend come play with it any time. All felt this was a good deal. That dog has a great life with another dog, and both of those dogs come on trips down to ILs' house and acreage. So how does this dog repay this kindness? By deciding he doesn't want to go home, fighting to not be put in the truck, and being more obedient for MIL & FIL than anyone else (at least for now). This is one ambitious dog. He looks like a fox, and appears to think like one, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I am relieved and miffed at the same time. CT was normal. I'm being referred to yet another specialist since just because the CT is normal doesn't mean that I am not still having some symptoms (and lots of blood in my urine confirms that I'm not making it up!) The normal CT is the relief. The miffedness is because if the CT was normal, why leave me a message telling me that there were "fixes" for what was found on the CT and then leaving me like that for an entire weekend? I wasn't a wreck or anything but it was on my mind the entire Saturday and Sunday. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Glad for normal, but wish they'd just get it all figured out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I got a call from the dr. about the appointment dd10 is scheduled for to get a referral to a pulmonologist. The nurse was saying that the dr. had already referred dd to a pulmonologist and was wondering if we needed a different one or what. I said I couldn't remember ever having a referral so the nurse looked through the records and said, "Oh yes, here it is. In January for allergy testing and after talking with them you declined the appointment." Uh, right. So I explained that we don't need allergy testing, we need to see a pulmonologist. It took just a bit longer than I expected for her to figure it out. But I think we have it all straight now and dd doesn't have to see the GP today. So, does she get her referral?

AMJ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I am back from getting my teeth cleaned. I am not a terrible patient, but I hate getting my teeth cleaned. It's like a sensory nightmare for me in so many ways. Very thankful it is over and that my boys don't have the same issues that I have with having my mouth and teeth messed with. They go with DH and he's a very good patient. They think it's fun. So now I'm wiped out from chicken trauma and tooth trauma and I want to take a nap. But I have to clean and cook instead. :grouphug: :grouphug: My DH is the same way with the dentist. He always comes away crabby and bothered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 We've been playing "spot the bunny" from our second story window. Mama bunny has deposited at least 3 bunnies in different locations in our overgrown back yard. We were joking that the one most visible is "bait" and is the one least loved. But the visible one noticed us watching and moved back under cover. So maybe he was just not listening to Mom. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Running laps is a seriously underappreciated disciplinary tool, IMO. As is writing sentences. I used to make the kids run to the back fence and back several times. This helped when kids were too stir-crazy inside, or misbehaved due to being too wound up, or were sitting for too dang long and doing nothing but staring at screens. Hmm, maybe I should reinstate it.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
