Disney Wonder Sept 3-7, 2006 Part 3

Oh yea the middle name is the kiss of death

adding the last name you're already 6 feet under.

I hear ya! Even as a parent I hate the going-back part! ICK!

I think sometimes my mom was happier when school came back around. I think it was because she knew we were in school...and not up to no good at home!

20 more days 20 more days 20 more days 20 more days 20 more days

Very true...although I have seen some scary things too... One night my one friend just got REALLY mad...I told her I liked her hat and she started yelling at me. The next day they decided it was the aristocrat...it made everyone really mad at the party.

See I'm just kidding I would never get like that in front of my kids or on a cruise ship. Just a couple of drinks to have fun but nothing stupid!!!!

 

[Piecey]

He's still feeling really lousy. I feel bad. He was up a lot last night, I kept hearing him, I doubt he got any sleep. I don't think he napped today either.

I think tomorrow I'll bite the bullet and take him to the doctor. I never know when it's bad enough to take them. Sometimes, it's a virus and they won't prescribe anything anyway. I hate seeing him so uncomfortable though. It's like this guessing game, do you wait and see if it improves or just jump the gun and take them in? Always a dilemma! Judging by his appearance, it doesn't look like he's improving so why prolong it?

He's in middle school but he has duel enrollment at the high school for Spanish. He rides the high school bus in with Logan, takes Spanish 1st period, and then waits at his school's before school program for TWO HOURS before his school starts. He doesn't want to miss that Spanish class! He wants to go in early, go to Spanish, and then have me pick him up and take him to the doctor. The doctor's office won't even be open until after he's done with that class so if he can stand it, he could pull it off without a problem.

I'm really glad schools have programs like that.
I got to take Algebra AND Spanish at the high school in 8th grade because I tested high enough and my 7th grade teacher signed off on me being capable of it.
As I got older, everything got easy. So I stopped going to class but still passed so I didn't care. I wish they'd had more things like that as I got older.
I went to 26 days of high school my senior year. No lie, found my report card the other day.
I still graduated with a 3.57 cum GPA... in the top quarter of my class.
To me that is just sad. I know I'm an intelligent girl but it just seems like there should have been something there to keep me wanting to go to school, something for the smarter people like me to keep us interested. But there wasn't... I was realllly close to dropping out because I was tired of them getting on me about attendance

Oh, and I went to a "WV School of Excellence".. which means it's one of the best schools in the state..

adding the last name you're already 6 feet under.

I think it was very, very rare that I got my entire full name. We're talking once or twice my entire life time. Or maybe I'm imagining the whole thing and I've never had the full name. Gosh why can't I remember these things anymore?
Oh yeah...it's because they were the times that I got in trouble!

Dang! 26 days total?? Woooww...I only skipped once and it wasn't my fault and it was only one class and it was a half day. Although I did get pulled out for a lot of vacations and hunting for colleges.

Good night everyone

Goodnight Suzanne!

I think sometimes my mom was happier when school came back around. I think it was because she knew we were in school...and not up to no good at home!

I love the peace & quiet when they're all at school (for the short amount of time between when the last one leaves and the first one gets home) but I hate the routines...the bed times, the homework,the reading, the TRYING TO WAKE THEM UP!

I love summer but the fighting gets old. It's a trade off I guess.

 

[purplern]

Good night everyone

Good night!!

 

[purplern]

Good night everyone!!!

Lisa I hope Connor is ok!!! Let us know what the Doctor says!

Amen! DD wants to stay up all night and is a bear trying to get up in the morning!

My mom never got on my case about homework during high school...which might actually be a bad thing! Okay maybe not never...but she really didn't make sure that I had it done everyday. I don't think it's a bad thing on her part...it's just I wasn't into school during my high school years so I avoided the subject. I had an alarm clock in high school so waking me up wasn't usually an issue for my mom at the end. Unless of course my alarm clock didn't wake me up...or go off...

I am with you! I like being able to go places and do things. No homework or getting up early. Now we have to have a routine everyday.

That's awesome! I am glad that Conor is interested in taking advantage of the opportunity. He had Algebra Honors last year in 7th grade. He actually begged for the Geometry Honors class that he's in this year. There are kids in 11th grade that aren't on his math level! If he can continue like this he'll have some great opprtunties in his future! I am in awe! It's also wonderful that his school is able to accomodate him with these advanced classes. There is a high population of kids who are in similar situations. It's amazing.

It's sad that you felt that way about dropping out. They really need to cater to the gifted kids as well as the kids with learning issues. There truly is a need for it!
