//gasp// No!

I think this homework assignment is as much to insure parent envolvement (which is required at the school) as it is to get the kids doing homework. I anticipate the standard worksheet fair soon. Parents are also expected to check over assignments before they are turned in.

Because like you said, a C was a big deal.

C's were a huge deal growing up! and then along came college and they weren't so bad anymore......

I loved the day of the reading test.


Which didn't go with one of the worst spellers in the grade.
It seems they should go hand and hand.

Oh well.

I'm weird

Not really There are spellers and non-spellers. And I really think if you're a non-speller, there isn't a thing you can do about it. Of course, in school study your brains out for the Friday test, but other than that, no. Just like there are people who like to read and those that would rather have their fingernails pulled out.

I loved the science fairs. It was so obvious which ones the kids did and which ones the parents did.

dontwantaname wrote:Where did you go?

Only here for a minute. Potato salad's finally done. Kitchen partially cleaned up. Time for a shower. Then I'll be here for at least an hour while my hair dries. Don't go away.

We were only 1 degree off of a record low this morning. It was 45 here.

dontwantaname wrote:An hour for your hair to dry????

Did you never hear of a blowdryer?



(why is it an and not a hour? Hour doesn't start in a vowel. But a hour sounds wrong)

My hair's curly. Blow dryer somewhat straightens it. Half curly is yucky.

dontwantaname wrote:OK,


//records fact that poof has curly hair.

And it's brown.
Light brown natural, according to the box.

Okay, shaved my legs, everything's creamed or lotioned.

Anything else you want to talk about?

dontwantaname wrote:What is the difference between cream and lotion?

Do we get a photo?

Big difference according to my dermatologist. Big difference in price, too. Cream goes on hands and feet and the place on my leg where I had the infection that it took so long to clear up. Dermatologist said cream there. Lotion everywhere else.

Nope, no photo.

Why am I still up?

Because you can't complain there's nobody to talk to so you're going to bed?

dontwantaname wrote:Yes.

I've aged since I started wooting.
I look older.
I go to sleep earlier.
It is very sad.

Yes, it is. Are you getting up earlier? Do you go to early bird specials at restaurants?

dontwantaname wrote:No

Not yet, but we came close tonight!
Plus someone gave hubby a senior discount and now he told me to ask for it!

I am. And I use their discounts and read their magazine.

Where did you come from?

the stork.

See, if you wait around, you can lure other peoples out.

dontwantaname wrote:You have one more chance to keep me here.
Everyone will be in a lively discussion when I return from the pee pee walk.
That is, if I actually stand up, about 3 minutes.


Starting....


NOW

TOO MUCH PRESSURE

//crawls back under rock

And hair's about dry.

Night all. Tomorrow.
