Good for you for showing the drain beasties who's boss!Then when we got home I started work on a ridiculous clog in my sink. Really. It took all my womanly know how to bust that puppy up!
DONT YELL AT HER. Or I will stab you in the eye with a fork.
I am about to KILL dh. He is getting all bent out of shape because Mikalah keeps coming over to him and talking to him. YES. We ALL know you are crabby when you get up. But she doesnt really understand. She hasnt seen you ALL day, and just wants your attention.
Yeah, I've been trying to get DS7 to take more responsibility for his stuff, with limited success. Hence, he got the borrowed books together and put them in his book bag, but forgot the paperwork. I'm reminding him 3 times to get his swimsuit into his bag before swim class. Wash your hands before you eat. Go potty before you leave the house. Brush your teeth!
We were out somewhere last week, and his teeth looked really odd. I told him they looked strange, and finally asked, "When was the last time you brushed your teeth???" He couldn't remember. "This morning?" Nope. "Last night?" Nope. "Yesterday morning?" Nope.
"Gross! Why haven't you been brushing your teeth, for pete's sake???"
"Well... You didn't tell me to."
But he is good about washing up and brushing his teeth and such.
DS7 is telling me about his school's student store. I don't think I knew before this year that they had one.
But he told me last year (1st grade, I mean) that his teacher used to give the kids pennies for good behavior, and they could save them up and then buy something. They had the same thing in 2nd grade, and every Friday during first recess they were allowed to spend their pennies at the student store. I have no idea if this is something school-wide or something these two teachers cooked up (they're best friends.)
Anyway, he was telling me how he used to buy rubber spiders and snakes with his pennies.
What I thought was cool was that he said he actually had two snakes he'd bought during the school year, but now only had one. Why? Because he gave one to a friend who couldn't buy one.
Bummer about the nightmare. Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.
What a cool idea!
One of my favorite teachers was a jr. high history teacher. She was a hard, demanding teacher, but also very bright and very good at getting the entire class working together to help one another. She assembled us into groups of four, and then moved us into different groups every month or month and a half. She had kids from different social groups seated together, kids of different abilities together, kids with different personalities together. She also had projects that we worked on as pairs or groups or even as the entire class. She also made up games to play that exercized or demonstrated our memorization skills of historical facts. She was awesome!
Bummer about the nightmare. Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.
I think I'm going to head off to bed. Sorry, had really good intentions of chatting tonight, but I'm nodding off quickly.
Have a great night and Happy Dreams to All.
