luuknam Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Come to think of it, I don't think I had Celery copy any workbook stuff in 3rd grade either... I think I started having him copy stuff in a separate notebook in 4th grade (maybe even not until the 2nd half of 4th grade, I think).

luuknam Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 When Broccoli is upside down on the couch his hair looks like one of those trolls that were popular when I was a kid. Except it's just blonde, not pink or something. He doesn't want to dye it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Celery is advanced, right? Please tell me he is so I can stop feeling like my kid is behind. Celery is all over the place, advanced in some things, behind in others, on track in, er, nothing? Broccoli is pretty uniformly advanced. Which is why he's both 6 and legally in 2nd grade (born just before NYS's Dec cut-off) and practically mostly 3rd grade-ish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so tired of these headaches. They started once a month in Spring 2015. In December 2015 they became nearly daily. In Spring 2017 they became nearly constant. No OTC meds seem to help. I won't take opioids. I tried several preventative meds and they helped but caused terrible side effects. Maybe I need to try essential oils. :blink: My next stop is massage. Then maybe a chiropractor. Then maybe Botox (which people keep suggesting to me). After doing some reading this week, I'm beginning to think that the headaches might be caused by arthritis in my neck.

Junie Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Nothing helped mine, really, when I had two or three years of daily migraines. The best massages for them were from our aesthetician. We had one in our office. She would massage my shoulders, neck, and back of head while I was lying on my back. Versus on my belly at the masseuse, which just made me feel worse. Hugs to you!! Yes, this is the kind of massage that I get. I just need to schedule it more often. And the young lady is wonderful. I'm friends with her mom and I've known her since she was 9 or 10. She's very relaxing and I feel very comfortable with her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Slow processing speed If there's one thing I can tell you, it's that Celery has seems to have roughly the opposite of slow processing speed. Which doesn't make him smarter, but it is an advantage for some things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You come here for sanity, friendship, and because without ITT your life will spiral out of control even faster. ITT grounds us, centers us, and helps us deal with all of the behind and everything. It is the mark of a healthy mind to turn here when behind. So, good girl! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have had 3 productive mornings in a row. I've tweaked my schedule and am now doing this round-robin thing where I do a mini kitchen chore - then a laundry chore and then a school or grading chore. (You can see the actual accomplishments on my tackle thread but that's not the point of my post here.) The point is that I'm dying here even while I'm really pleased at being productive. This really isn't that hard or strenuous but I'm seriously fatigued and in pain doing that much. I'm going to do what I did yesterday at this point - get some lunch and then rest for an hour and a half. I really really really hate fibro. Dh and I got in an argument yesterday about fibro where he touted a local doctor's opinion that if people with fibro just sucked it up and did more aerobic conditioning and strength training, that they would be just fine. I never swear (I have Spudz as my designated swearer) but I actually swore a bit in that conversation. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: HECTOR! Go explain to Jean's DH about fibro. Firmly, but nicely. Yes, you can use the taffy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Trigger warning! Edpo! Reported! Celery finished the Beginning Outlining book AND the Great Courses Cybersecurity lectures today. And I had him write a review of the latter. We obviously need to work on how to write a review, but, it was an opportunity to practice his typing skills irl (as opposed to typing lessons and Burning Cargo). As a side note, since I have two kids, I keep having Celery write answers to workbook questions in a separate notebook, but let Broccoli just write in the workbook. Wondering if I should change that. I think it's good for Celery to practice writing answers in a separate notebook, but I'm basically denying Broccoli that learning opportunity. That said, I don't know that there's a need to work on that at 6yo. #overthinkingthings (brought to you by the fact that Broccoli is on page 10 of that Beginning Outlining book Celery just finished (which is for grades 3-4, so remedial for Celery, who will continue with the Outlining book for grades 5-8 next week... but it really stands out when they're both working in the same book at the same time and one needs to copy and the other just writes in the book... I could have Broccoli just copy it as well, but I think he'd struggle too much if I did that... fairness vs practicality... at least Celery isn't complaining (thus far))) :hurray: :hurray: Good job, Celery!
