picked up riley from soccer ~ ranted all the way home about how much homework
she had. she had finished her math at school and some of her science this week
each night. she had a TON of spanish, her midterm grade is 76~ paper came home
today, she was bummed "are you mad at me?" x6 already! I typed her science
answers as they were written by her, they needed some love. I had to read the
science packet (I read it last year too so this is twice for me) and helped her
sentences, she was fine letting me do that. I said the Spanish looked Bueno!
what do i know? I checked her math (all if the problems 15, she had done all of
them at school and checked most but she asked me to check them anyway) lots of
simple math errors so she was pissed that we had to go back and fix them all!
she is also all the way home worrying about her social studies project (part 3
of 3, we already did 1 and 2) because it is due NEXT friday and we won't have
any time this weekend to do it...she has packed a special "poster bag" to bring
to NY so that she can work on it there! OMG. She ate her dinner and had a
shower and she is packing for NY now, so.....im sure she'll have a hard time
falling asleep.
jackson and i talked about the phone call when i got home
(he understood and apologized with puppy dog face), i fixed the computer in two
clicks, he was happy. he had computer time while I ran Riley to soccer. he
finished his math (dividing fractions, do you remember how to do that?) and i
had to check them all (30 problems) and he had to go back and fix 3! Not bad.
He and I studied last night his Wellness (test about "stress" we should all be
experts, especially me!) and his suffixes, he's all set, he even studied the
Nitrogen Cycle for a quiz next week, getting ahead of himself. His note said he
had a pretty good day! Not a word about warts or tye dye! He is watching
Ningago now. He had to cancel 30 rock, he said "Mom its either 30 Rock or Big
Bang, I have to cancel one"...
additional notes: I called about Riley's
backpack and to stress her out more, they want to pick up her current ripped one
tomorrow, i have to leave it out for UPS, in what, who knows, and they'll ship
her a new one. Means she has to use an old one for 3 days (but mom, i don't
understand! blah blah blah) I picked up pizza from Sals and dropped off good
will then went back to pick up Riley practice ended promptly at 6 ~ thanks to
coach north! The pizza was good, salad bad (wilted lettuce) but I got $2.59
back so free dinner with change works for me....I haven't packed a thing. second
load of laundry in washer now. uggh....and its only 8:14 so I'm sure there will
be more! So Ive got to pack and transfer Riley's worldly belongings into an old
backpack and stuff the ripped one into some box and, oh yeah, didn't I want to
have enough energy left to write to the school and ask for a team meeting
regarding Jackson?
