Lets' start with the awkward (I hate to end on a down note, so always the awkward first and awesome last)
Today I met with my nieces teacher, counselor and principle to help set up a plan for her to succede. She is having trouble in the teachers class and while I am open to give and take to work on a solution the teacher had only one thing in mind. I am right, you are wrong, if you child isn't successful in this class it's on you she must not be doing her homework. I know for a fact alyssa works hard on her homework, so I wanted to ring her neck, but we set up a plan and I went home to help work it. After an hour to do 6 math questions (no ADHD meds today) we turned to the makeup work the teacher referred to that was supposed to be just so simply, she can't understand why noone would not do it. Here is why....first you have to figure out why you missed the question, which is kind of hard because you don't know the right answers.....so we figured something out, but not sure if it is all right and we were to write all of that down. Second you need to do the worksheet, teacher made it sound simple, I was going to help alyssa catch up tonight. I was dumbfounded when I looked at the paper. There are over 100 questions! do the math people , who has time to do that? I also noted that the thing alyssa had trouble with on the test were not really addressed in the homework it was stupid details like not rounding to the correct number of decimal points, now I am stuck. Anything I say to the teacher is going to be awkward again, but I need to say something, gonna sleep on that one.
Food poisoning and a lap band, ,not a good combination, definately awkward and uncomfortable.
Awesome:
Getting to see my sister and my niece and picking a huge basket of granny smith apples from her tree to make for applesauce in a few days. Probably not the best way to pick apples, but we resorted to shaking the tree, we figured any that fell were ripe. May have some bruises, but we didn't have to climb up ladders to get to the top, and it was quite fun.
I was able to run 3 times this week, yeah! getting back on track
I got everything done today that I planned to, I am up a little late, but the satisfaction of knowing I did what I set out to do this morning is awesome!
