I hope the glasses thing works out Donna. I have a feeling my son will end up needing glasses, which is scary. He is very absent-minded.
Yes, the library books had been renewed a bunch of times, and weren't overdue. She just thought they'd been out too long. They had (since last semester), but it wasn't her problem. I take R to the library for storytime on Mondays so I have a reason to go there on a regular basis. That helps. Without that I don't do so well on getting stuff back on time. Which is crazy since it's in the same town as us. I really have no excuse.

I wasn't done posting....
HI Kylie, hi Debilyn!
How is Mike today? Did they tell you when he could start eating more solid foods? I don't remember what they told us. I was just afraid that food would get stuck in the holes and bad things would happen. E just has this thing where if you tell her she can't do something (i.e. eat solid foods) it makes her want to do it desperately. So we argued a lot about what she should be eating.

I agree, it wasn't her call to make. She did say that she didn't think she could renew them again, but she didn't tell me that they weren't overdue yet. I think the person in charge down there would have renewed them again, or would have called me. I asked my son today how often they went to the library, and he said not very often any more. So that's probably why they ended up stuck in his desk for so long.
I wonder why no chips for two weeks Kath. Because the little pieces could get stuck? I'm glad Mike is feeling a little better.
Denim, I'm glad the administration is working with you. Aggravating though.

That's exactly it. nothing with seeds either like fresh strawberries, or poppyseed muffins! The surgeon that did Aryn's surgery a couple months ago had an extensive list of things he didn't want her to have. She practically lived on pudding, yogurt, smoothies and milkshakes for 3 or 4 days! However she only took her heavy duty pain meds once and tylenol only a few times, say a couple times a day for 4 or 5 days. She did however do that antibiotic rinse twice a day and her salt water rinse after EVERY time she ate for two weeks! She said that that helped ALOT!
Back to school on Monday here! Kinda bumming really! It's been a good spring break - lots of relaxing and just goofing around.
Ethan through us for a loop the other night! Brian is taking a college level Logic class and was studying for a test Thursday night. Ethan walks in and asks his dad what he is studying so Brian shows him a simple logic formula they were using to determine the logic of some sentence - I don't understand it at all but Ethan was curious so he was so focused and he actually understood it and was able to within a few moments come up with his own sentence and formula for it! I was blown away! It's all gobblygook to me but Ethan understood it! He is brighter then he lets on sometimes. He actually confided in me that he sometimes doesn't want the other kids to know he is as smart as he is because he's afraid some of his classmates will tease him like they do one other very smart child in his class.
oh well I suppose I should get back to some laundry. It's so wet and muddy here that everytime the kids go out to play they come in so muddy! Thank God for Clorox for colors!
Blessings,
Garsy

We had rain all weekend, and it looks like rain today, too. We went to the circus this weekend, an afternoon show, so the kids didn't spend much time playing at our house. We did play some board games together.
Spring break will be cool for a day or two, then warm back up again. This warm/cold and cold/warm is really playing havic with sinuses around here. Ugghh!

Garsy, I can't picture what you're asking for, but if you take one of the broken ones with you to Lowe's or Home Depot, maybe they can help?

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to have to do. Thankfully, hubby's sister works for Lowe's and we can use her discount!

Garsy, a local hardware store may have the same thing (and sometimes at a cheaper price). Again, you'll need to take the broken ones with you. Good hunting!

Garsy, sounds like you mean an S hook. Anyway that's what Larry uses on the swingset. Lowes, Home depot, local hardware store will have it.
Poor Aryn!
Mike went back to school today and says his teeth hurt pretty bad. I also found out he is swishing water or lysterine pretty vigorously to remove food debri so I told him to swish gently or he could knock those blood clots out. I did check with a flashlight yesterday and they look pretty good.

I don't know if it is a good idea for Mike to use the listerine. I had some gum damage one time and used listerine it made it much worse. The dentist indicated that it could aggravate some conditions (bacteria?).
Is he doing his warm salt water rinses?

I'll tell him about it. Thanks! I'm not sure about the warm salt water rinses. Honestly I thought the paper the dr gave us said not to rinse at all.

It seems to me that anytime I've had dental work done that rinsing was hardly ever encouraged at all. Then again, I haven't had to have any dental work for about 10+ years.
The algebra teacher, VP and I have a conference on Monday.

Kath, I think my daughter had something the Dr. gave her to rinse with, but I don't remember for how long.
Kara, our spring break was the middle of March, so now a distant memory here too.
Denim, I was wondering how the algebra situation was going; I hope the meeting goes well. Is your daughter excited about homeschooling next year?
Hi Danasmom, Debilyn, Donna, and Julia!
Garsy, your poor daughter. Hopefully you can find the part easily.

Yes she's excited, but she's not so happy with the reading requirements that I've laid out so far.
She saw The Grapes of Wrath come in the mail today. She says that it doesn't look as exciting as James Patterson or Catherine Coulter. lol!
I don't think she realizes that it's Steinbeck and she likes his writing..... as she puts it, he's ok for an old dead guy.

My oldest hasn't liked most of her reading; she's not a big reader though. She did like The Bell Jar, which I thought she would, because I remembered liking it. She liked the first 170 pages of The Fountainhead, but then she said she didn't like it anymore.

The kids here get out the very last week of June (usually the 26th or 27th) ... the only 'break' in February is our new stat holiday (Family Day), and then March Break the first week of March, then Good Friday & Easter Monday ... then Victoria day ("May 24") and that's it until the end of June when they get out for summer.
