How Many Days?


So here we are on the 25th of May and unbelievable to me is that in two weeks school will be done!  The 2011-12 year will be behind us and the new adventure of high school will be awaiting.  She has had her classes assigned and we are trying to schedule a tour of the new school.

As usual here we are at the end of the year trying desperately to keep her from failing by making her do make up work.  She has had several group projects that she didn’t do with the group and has had to do on her own (which, actually makes her happier) and there have been several choral concerts that she has had.  She has a college report that was due Monday and that she just wrote yesterday.  

I hate the fact that every year she seems to be able to pull a “pass” because I get so mean and force her to do the work that she knows she should have done earlier in the quarter.   Sometimes I think I should just let her fail, of course, when I say that to her, she says I am the reason she has “such low self-esteem”.

This Memorial Day Weekend I wish to thank all those that have served.  Your sacrifice is appreciated.

You Need to “Forget” more often…


Today MAC looked at me and said, “You need to forget to fill my pill case more often!”    I haven’t been feeling so well (a cough that is in my chest and a sore throat) and after going to church on Sunday morning I have really not felt like doing too much.  

For the most part I have tried to get some rest, and drink lots of water.  The house is a total wreck and I feel like I have been put through the wringer when I get home from work.  I feel like I’m pretty much collapsing into bed and although I can’t actually get to sleep I just don’t have the strength to move.  I have had her take only the medications that have been prescribed for her and not all the extra vitamins.  She is really happy to only have to take two pills in the morning and one in the evening instead of five in the morning and four in the evening.

I will "forget" for the rest of the week and then start again on Saturday.  :)
