Evening all,

It is cold up here tonight. Has been most of the day. We have had rain off and on today which has probably made it feel even colder.

I can't wait till Joyce gets her computer back from the shop, I really miss her. She couldn't keep it up long enough to load the program Jerry was giving her to get rid of all the pop-ups that kept knocking her off-line.

Thanks Stacey I know what you mean about telling the schools but I am just so bad at confrontations. I mean even armed with the doctors recommendations I back down when they start saying "Lacy doesn't need smaller classes". I know when we meet again in two weeks I'll have her report card by then and I'll get into an arguement with Jerry over something really stupid before I go so that way I will be mad already and then I should be able to stand up to them. If not them I am going to seriously check on both private school and homeschooling.

martie I may be calling you for advice on how to get started. I just can't see going through two more years with this school. I think Lacy just has a really hard time doing 7 hours of school a day and then a couple of hours of homework at night plus she actually gets up at 5:45 for school so she can catch the bus at 6:45 then she doesn't get home in the afternoon until 4:30 then tack 2 hours of homework on top of that and it is just to long a day for a kid with ADHD. In elementary she got out at 2:00 every day and was home by 2:30 which was a much shorter school day for her. That's almost 13 hours a day of school stuff, getting ready, in school and coming home and doing homework. I realize I will have to cut back on my classes some if I decide to homeschool her but it will only be for 2 more years. And I don't have to quit, just cut back to maybe a morning class and an evening class for me.
I will give rose your message. I think we all miss her and those good home cooked meals and listening to her tales of gardening.

Sharon that is cool you work for a lawyer, how do you like it?
