The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 29

[tinknme]

Supper is ready & I have the last load of laundry in the wash. I had alot of corn on the cob, so after I cooked it I cut the corn off & put it in the freezer. I am done for the evening! I am more tired than if I would have went to work today

Time for a drink anyone

Hey all! We don't leave until Saturday, but I don't know how much I'll be on. Thanks for the well-wishes! Please keep your fingers crossed that our weather doesn't suck as bad as they are predicting. Right now it is just thunderstorms, everyday. Not scattered, not isolated just tons of thunderstorms. I wouldn't care as much if it were just Kyle and I, but we are paying a lot of money for my mom and sister to go, and they just don't get to go enough as it is!

I hope the weather predictions are wrong!

that the weather forecasters have it wrong!!

 

[Pooh67_68]

For good weather.

I hope the weather predictions are wrong!

 

[tink2020]

for great weather! How long are you staying?

Saturday to Saturday, but each of those is kind of a half-day because we aren't on our "usual" flight

I made the salsa today, man I have never done so much chopping The salsa looks good & smells good. As soon as it cools I will taste it. It was real easy to make(other than the chopping), if anyone is interested in the recipe let me know.

For a day off, it sure hasn't felt like it. I guess that just means I have been productive today I have a big pot of beans & ham cooking for supper tonight. With the cool weather it sounded good. I will make some cornbread & potatoes later. I have corn on the cob cooking right now. I have also managed to do a few loads of laundry. Now I need to wash dishes, but I must eat 1st!

The boys will be home before I know it. I don't think I will be going to the PO today, I will stop after work tomorrow.

WOW...you got a lot done today!

I went to PO that I thought might have some at lunch as they used to sell all that extra stuff but they had nothing.

For those of you out of school today/tomorrow for Rosh Hashanah.....do your school districts have the day off or did you just keep your kids home to observe the day? Just curious......

Full day of school for us.

The best trail mix is m&m's, salted dry roasted peanuts, raisins and gold fish. Yummy. Trust me. It's good. And, the m&m's don't melt so you can take it to the pool in the summer.

YUMMY!!!! I might add a few pretzel gold fish too.

Our school district is worthless. That's why there is a private school on every corner! I HOPE that once the teachers get the copy of his modifications they will realize at the very least that they better not cross me. I know what his modifications are, and I know that the teachers don't get to ignore them. If they choose not to cooperate then I will demand compliance and I won't be polite about it.

Theresa - It's confusing, isn't it? DS has a 504, which is not Special Ed, which is why his review is only valid for one year and not 3. (According to the lady today.) My friend's son has ADHD and dysgraphia and her meetings are ARDs, at which they come up with an IEP. I do think that is classified as Special Ed. Who knows? The counselor at our elementary was completely clueless so there is no telling what kind of wrong info we have been given. I will HOPE the middle school counselor is better!

So it is still the law even if he isn't special ed? So maybe Lizzy's modifications are law too. She seems to be doing ok so far. Open house is next Tuesday not that I will find out much then.

Deb, I like this one:

The PTA meeting last night was interesting. I kept my mouth shut, but another mother did ask. The principal basically said the same things that she said to me, and I don't think it made a very good impression. This morning she was talking to some teachers (one of my good friends among them), and said that she thought the meeting went very well last night. My friend told her that she had some very upset parents still, and the principal was a bit surprised. My friend gave her my number, and the principal called me to ask to meet with me again tomorrow about this matter. She was much friendlier than at our last meeting. Maybe she can learn.

Steffy and Terry, the principal is probably a few years older than I am...maybe early 50's. She didn't introduce herself or give any of her background, so I'm not entirely sure. I do know that most recently she was an assistant principal at another elementary school in the district. Again, that would have really help the first impression of many at the meeting last night. I guess she has a few things to learn, but if she can start being open to that, she may do well. I am keeping an open mind.

I had another great day with the 3's! This is such a verbal group of three year olds, and they are already getting along so well with one another. There are a few minor things going on with the director, but I don't even want to think about that right now. I really do think that 3 is my favorite age to teach. There is such a wonder and magic about them and their first school experience.

I'm sorry that I have had to skip a bunch again. Tomorrow won't be any better, because I am helping with Dunk the Teachers day at Miles' school right after work. They have to read a certain number of pages to earn balls to throw at the Dunk Tank. The gym and art teachers sit in the tank, and it's always fun.

Beth

Great design! Glad you're having fun with your 3's and have a great time at the dunk.

Now I've got to say you are a MUCH nicer person than me. I couldn't forgive her that easily for the comment she made to Miles about you not being the boss. Hope she really does take the time to listen to you!

okay caught up.

My Dr.s appointment went well. I am still losing weight, since I started the low carb. no soda diet.

 

[bear74]

does anyone know if you can return stuff to the Disney stores if you buy it online?

I am thinking about ordering a flounder costume for Virginia since Olivia is going to be Ariel for Halloween. Just in case Virginia comes before Halloween.

the only problem I see with it is the no seasonal returns after the date. But I think it is a new policy that they do allow returns of online items in store.

My understanding is that you can.

 

[bear74]

well since their is nothing else I want at disney.com I don't think I will order the costume. shipping is over $8 almost as much as the costume is.

 

[tinknme]

Yes you can, they just started this a month or 2 ago.
