RN (or right soon) I'll be leaving to go to the kids parent teacher conferences. Wish me luck! They will only be doing them for four hours today (for 1,500 kids!) The message I got last night from the auto call thingie said, first come, first serve. Totally sucks cuz there is no way I'll be able to see all of the kids teachers.

RN spoke to three teachers, the ones I needed to most. Dakota's homeroom/science/social studies teacher (he had her report card, lol) who told me she's a wonderful kidlet, joy to have in class, never gets in trouble, though she sometimes gets distracted but that is normal for his 6th graders. Then her math teacher cuz her grade slipped a little bit (from a B to a C.) Turns out it's the same problem we noticed, she rushes and makes silly mistakes (ex. 2x4=6, adding instead of multiplying.) She's going to start giving her 10 simple problems a night to work on to help her pay more attention and give her a little bit of extra credit. Then the important one (er, not that the others aren't as important but this is where Caleb's having serious trouble) his math teacher, who is also his homeroom teacher so we got his report card. A's and B's in everything else, F in math. Part of it is he really is struggling, part of it is that when he can't figure things out he just doesn't turn in homework. So, starting in April, he'll be going to math tutoring every morning before school and starting tomorrow he'll be going in at lunch time on Wednesdays to get some extra help (that's nothing special, she does math help Wed & Thurs but doesn't get much of a turnout.) He's not real happy about it, but too bad. If an F was truly the best he could do, I'd accept that, but he's not asking for help at school or home and not turning in homework he doesn't understand and that's not good enough.

RN I am getting ready to go for my second sleep study and I'm not happy about it. Someone didn't do their job right on the first study. They know I need to be fitted with a Bi-Pap but not the specifics. So, here I go again in about half an hour.

RN good luck Twinkie. Anyone that I know with sleep apnea feels like a new person when they get the right mask! Also RN, good for you War. Math is not a good thing to get behind in because of how it builds on itself. He needs to keep up for high school. I'm like you, if that is the best you can do, fine. If not, have to find a different way if what you are doing w/o parental intervention isn't working. Our middle school doesn't have parent teacher conferences scheduled, but I have always been able to talk to the teachers anytime after school or during the period when the kids are at PE if it is mutually convenient.

RN, just got the beejeepers scared out of me. Woke up at midnight, not able to sleep. I was sitting here surfing when I heard a beeedeeebeeedeeebeep, like a bug zapper. I hurried into the kitchen to see which appliance was going haywire and thanking God I was awake when it did. It was the ionizer, which is new. I'm not yet used to it's "Clean me" sound.

RN, I just woke up, turned on the TV, and learned that I missed an earthquake while I was sleeping. Strange, cuz the epicenter was pretty close to me (~10 miles) and everyone is acting like it was a big deal on the local news even though it was only a 4.4. I realize now that my earthquake preparedness is not what it should be. Need to go out and buy big containers of water, I suppose, and a flashlight. I figure a real one isn't far away....

Right now, Serate, I just saw your post. I'm very sorry and hope it has been resolved. I wouldn't have known what to advise anyway. Tisha, good idea. Right now, there is standardized testing going on in the library and it is quiet. I hope that President Obama's educational reform ideas come to fruition so we can stop teaching to the test. There has to be more to school than this.

Right now, I don't have a single thing that I could post about in the "Gripe Thread" and I am very happy about that. It's a very good day! St. Patty's Day, too!

Right now, I just chatted with Scooterrific and she said to tell everyone hello. TVCH is blocked at her work and she is hoping to get it unblocked soon. She's really busy with her daughter and softball, but is doing well.

RN I just HAVE to share this! Need a for real LOL moment? Try this: Call the Nestle Hot line at 1-800 295-0051 When asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, wait quietly for about 10 seconds and you will smile. Choose option 4. Then choose option 7. Don't give away the surprise. Whoever thought of this at Nestle deserves a raise…if its busy…keep trying! MADE MY DAY!!!!

RN, that is funny! I had a problem, though; I started to laugh during the options, and it didn't recognize my choice so it had to start over.
