Something About Nothing.........#7

[Tinker-tude]

sending jonathon mummy dust and homie dust........

Thanks, Mac.

They can't diagnose whether or not he is autistic yet. He has several things pointing to it, but he will need more screening to find out. He has what they call scattered skills. He is three years 4 months old right now. His social and speech skills are only at 1-2 year old level. But his math and reading skills are 5-7 (a few 8) year old skills. Those things indicate a possibility of autism. However, he makes good emotional connections and good eye contact. If he is autistic, he's very highly functioning and I'm not worried about it. If he's not, he'll improve greatly with games and activities that his teachers and speech pathologist are going to do with him, and that we will be doing with him here at home. Either way, it'll just change our routine a little and give us new activities to do with him. We still don't know if a few of his developmental delays are actually delays, or if he's just really set on controlling the world his own way. Time will tell.

MATHS your fav...seriously !!!

for Jonathon.

Let me rephrase that. Math is Jared's favorite subject, and I love to see him do it so well and so enthusiastically. So it's his favorite subject to do, and my favorite subject to teach. I was always good at math in school, but found it boring and annoying. I'm more of a music, literature, history, and art lover. If I don't have a creative outlet, I implode.

Thanks for the hug for Jonathan! I'll pass it along to the shy little booger.

Yea, so bad day here. Well, unless you count getting free Olive Garden. Found out today that I'm being transferred to another store yet again. So all the overtime I get at my current store will be gone....and with the new car and insurance on it......I'm more likely than not gonna have to cancel my trip. I'm not 100% sure yet, have to wait and see how much I get each paycheck first.

Ouch.... I feel for you. Maybe it'll give you more time for PROFESSIONAL THEATER and more money. Are you going to be bummed when Sweeney Todd is over, or relieved that you have time to do things like watch t.v. and sleep?

I tell you, just when I thought I couldn't learn anything new about Central Florida Housing, I turn up the Chinese drywall problems

Oh and I am now on load three of the four loads I wanted to do the other day, but load one and two were the same, I left them in the dryer and everything was wrinkled, so I washed them again. That counts right?

i feel your pain.

i can't even begin to say how many times i have washed the same load of clothes twice.

i get distracted easily when it comes to household chores.......

sometimes i can go 3 days before i remember a clean wet load of clothes is still sitting in the washer
it's usually the stink of sour clothes that makes me remember.......

speech skills are highly overrated.
don't worry about that.

one of my sons didn't talk until he was a tad over 4 years old.
he made sounds, no words and he turned out fine.

well, let me rephrase that.
he started talking when he was close to entering kindergarten...


we called him our parrot.
his older brother did all the talking for him and translated the grunts and noises to us on what brother was saying.........





where is scotlass and the report of what happened to her......???

Hugs to all the Homies in need.

I was in the car for 7 hours today. Most of it in the middle of a corn field. Then figured out that something is wrong with my bank balancing skills. Haven't been sleeping well, and was running perpetually late today.

Argh!

donald - glad to hear the kitchen has upped their game, it was the worst meal we've ever eaten in MCO (yucky food, filthy floor & buffet area the whole time we were there); may have to give it another chance. You know how that is though, sometimes it's hard to even consider it again.
for all those in or on their way to motherland, woo-hootake lots of pics for those of us who will be missing it!

I've been bored at work lately and am going crazy waiting for my WDW hours to come out on Friday, so I downloaded a bunch of Disney apps for my iphone. I got a trivia one, that has a lot of repeating questions, so I've been playing it whenever I get a chance. This morning I tried it at home and answered 201 questions correctly (evidently the max it goes to), and it said:

"You got all the answers correct. Go to Universal already!!"



Thought you guys might appreciate it!

car sitting, plowing fields which is the manual labor we hate to do, money skills.....math is highly overrated anyhoot, night owl/early bird syndrome, and tardy today.

My kids (ages 5,8,9- although on Saturday the 5 yo turns 6 and on Sunday the 9 yo turns 10 lol) dont like AC but are nuts for www.wizard101.com

We took him to his check up today and doctor took out some gauz that they had put deep in his ear that we didn't know about but he said everything looked good.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Oh No, Homies!

I am very afraid -- we got ds's school schedule for next year last night and he starts before Labor Day for the first time ever...and I already made reservations and bought plane tickets based on a post-Labor Day start

I'm hoping I'm not the only parent in this situation and if there are enough complaints (small parochial school), they will change the start date. I don't dare have him miss the first 3 days of 6th grade, he'll never catch up and he won't learn all the ins and outs of the big switching classes system they start at that grade. If not, at least dh isn't upset I have to change the airfare ($300!). I'm just hoping we don't run into issues with HRH when we try to change to Aug. 20-30...I know the crowds will be much worse

damn...........



go ahead and do your trip as originally planned and booked.


when you kid is 18 years old, you'll look back and see it wasn't a problem after all.

kids transfer into new schools all the time and they do adjust.


i would go with the plans and let the school know you scheduled the trip based on past years school start dates.

maybe they could do a walk thru and mini orientation with him prior to you leaving on the trip. try begging for that option.



do take into account this advise is coming from a teacher that took her kids out of school for 10 days around mothers day when the boys were in 8th, 6th and 4th grades.


i forget which relative died that time for that trip.
i do know i had gone thru the grandparents for past trips and wasn't sure if i had brothers or sisters used up yet for my excuse absence.

 

[minniejack]

thanks for all the prayers and dust for my niece--she's taking it hard--they'd been dating for 6 yrs. And I never met him--she knew we didn't like the direction he was dragging her, so she never brought him around to the grandma's house for anything. Oh, well thanks again.

It was in high 80's for about 5 days, then BAM down to 50's

MY DS's Disney musical starts tonight. After being a parent helper the other night and listening to all of that HAPPY MUSIC, I now realize why we like Uni so much better. I'm just sayin' there's only so much happiness I can take.
