I just want to make sure she gets it and understands what she is doing. Math skills are something that build on each other over the years and it is important to me that she understands so she doesn't have problems in the long run. I don't know for sure how much homework reflects on her overall grade - that's what I wanted to talk to her math teacher about today - but I didn't see her at all, which is really odd really. I usually see her every time I'm in the building. Aryn said she was in school today - so maybe she was just hiding out in her classroom and busy with something. I'll drop her an e-mail this weekend and see if I can get a chance to talk to her next Tuesday when I'm in the building again.
Blessings,
Garsy

The other day she had cut a hole in her pants (in the crotch area).
I wonder if she had a motive or was just messing around. Sometimes jeans have a thick center where all that material comes together, and it could have rubbed her wrong.

When the teacher questioned her she came up with this elaborate story that the night before Zach had a pair of scissors and she fell on them.
What a story.
Did you ask Rae about it yet?

We've battled carpenter ants for way too long. But, now those are decent sized ants! Or fire ants! We had to burn out a fire ant nest, or the contractors did before they dug the foundation of our house. Those ants were NASTY! Thankfully it wasn't a big hill and they must have gotten them all because we haven't seen any since.
We went to the zoo today on the free passes Aryn has won over the past couple of months. It was the last day this year that the zoo would be open so it was very busy! But we spent nearly 3 1/2 hours there and took it nice and slow and had a lot of fun! Ty's girlfriend came with us too.
Before hand though we thought we might have to be off to the ER! There is a tree right in front of the zoo in the picnic area that has a low branch that kids climb on and hang from all the time. Ty - in his usual fashion was playing possom and hanging by his hands and legs and he slipped! He landed flat on his back in a mass of acorns! He had the wind knocked out of him and by the time we got to him finally had gasped his first breath and was able to sit up! He hit HARD and on those acorns! I was more worried about him bruising a kidney. He was in a LOT of pain. We just sat there for a long time until he was able to catch his breath and breathe normally. He's got a good bump on his head too. His poor girlfriend was near tears for the kid. Kelly's a cutie tho and he ended up going to church with her and her family tonight. She was homeschooled up until this year so this is her first year in public school and her twin brothers 3rd. Ty is friends with him too.
We had to get our brakes fixed on the van today too. Thankfully the brake pads were only about $20 and we have a friend that will install them in exchange for zucchini bread. Brian and his friend were done installing them in a half hour. It will take me longer to get the bread made Monday night so Brian can take it into town for him Tuesday morning!
So now we are hanging out at home - It's pizza night, so supper was very easy and everyone else is watching the NasCar race!
Blessings,
Garsy

How scary for Ty!
I'm sick so I'm not doing much. I was in bed but Linz got locked out and now I let the dog out so I'm just killing time till she comes back in, then I'm going back to bed

Gotta share this somewhere - I'm irked at my mom. Why? Well, there was a situation where I work and I didn't tell her when I was talking to her. Why not? Because I didn't know, and then when I did know, I didn't know much and didn't want to gossip and it didn't effect her.
She found out. And she was peeved I didn't tell her and made a snippy - jokey remark in an email, along with a serious comment. I responded professionally to the serious question the way my employer would want me to. Why, instead of calling? - because I was torqued by the snippy comment and it was safer to email. I ignored the snippy part.
I wasn't truely irked until I got her reply that was almost mean if you hear it in the tones that my mom would use.
Poppa is peeved, I'm peeved and meanwhile I really wish I was scheduled off work today...better days are coming. I know that.
I'm not saying anything else about it. If you want to pray for the sitution - pray that my mom doesn't email or call us about work again, that my co-workers think before they speak, that we all have wisdom as well as discernment in all things but particularily this situation.
And, now that I have it out of my system...if you know me, you know I won't answer any questions about what happened because it would be identifying information.
One of the things I like about CW is that you can say that you won't say any more and most folks respect that. In this case, I'm not only protecting my identify, I'm protecting my job. Back to my mom for a second. I'm not saying ANYTHING that isn't public knowledge or common sense because to do otherwise could be considered grounds for dismissal.

Mbee, it's a shame your mom is putting you in this position in the first place.
Hang in there!

I had a bunch to say, but as I typed it out I realized it's not much of an issue in the first place. How therapeutic!
Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey all!!
Kath, I hope you feel better. I've been getting sinus headaches so I started spraying my nose with saline. It seems to work.
Garsy, poor TY. Ds has fallen out of a few trees in his short life. Thankfully, he's never broken anything.
Mamabee, how's the church thing going??
Kylie, I thought about you a few weeks ago because Darlene Check( I know I spelled her name wrong) was at our church. She's very energetic for a Sunday morning. We also have an Aussie on staff who's taken a lead pastor postition and he's really good.
Everyone here is fine. Dd is going to homecoming this weekend and I'm nervous for her. She's never been to a dance before and has only danced at a wedding awhile ago. I have to buy her a purse and a few other things for her big day. I'm just doing laundry today.

The Church thing?
On Friday night, the plan was to go to church at the church that offers the 8:30 service and then Sunday School, then go get the Boy Scout at camp. But when he got there his psudo-concussive headache got the better of him so he came home. He still needed to be there Sunday at 11 so the plan became go to the worship service only, leave to get him to his meeting but we'd need to RUN so that he wouldn't be late.
Then SOMETHING HAPPENED I can't say what but I couldn't go in that direction. The road was CLOSED!
(Kath, back me up on the something happened thing - please)
This week the men are in camp and I think I may go without them.
The kicker being his meeting time was changed and no one told him so we got him there at 10:45 and it was already done.
There are two work things, one is winding down, the other still worries me... But at least I am doing something to fix each problem as best I can...

His name is Darren Whitehead. He's really a good teacher.

Kylie, what sorts of things do they teach in Hospitality? I've never heard of that.
Kath, that's the worst. It's not just the sickness, it's the annoyance about not being able to fix it! I hope you feel better.
Donna, have you decided about the funeral yet? I, for one, am all for taking kids to funerals. It helps them understand death, or at least not be afraid of it. I know too many people who were sheltered from funerals as kids, and now as adults have a very hard time with death and funerals.
Garsy, now that you mention it, I don't see older girl scouts at all. I know there are active boy scout troops for older kids, tho. I miss my popcorn seller this year! I have gotten a cookie order in, tho.
Mbee, I am getting so frustrated with my church that I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it. This election is really drawing people apart. I hope that most of it is superficial and it will die down, but it's still hard to deal with. Maybe it's just not a god time to find a church!
Deb, I don't think you need to know how to actually dance at a school dance. From what I remember, it's mostly just bouncing around.
It's been a good week so far. Monday and Tuesday are our quiet days. Han has band today, and Gracen has his pumpkin patch field trip. It is WARM- been in the 70s all week, and supposed to be near 80 this weekend. My baby turns 5 on Friday (!), so we'll be making cupcakes tomorrow. I have the cake mix but need to get some frosting.

Cutting a hole in her pants is one thing, but flat out lying to her teacher really cuts the cake.
They had moved to california though, so I didn't get a chance to tell them we destroyed the nest and the ants. 
Kath!
