Day 4 of 7 in a row for me. w00t! Yay OT. (I only worked 2 hours Sunday, so I'm not killing myself working or anything and I WAH, so yoga pants 4 lyfe.)
I got my rings back and they're so pretty and clean. It feels weird having them on. I can't stop messing with them.
DH has been home at a decent hour the last 2 nights. It's nice to co-parent during the week.
DefConn is branching out with reading. He's starting to like SkippyJonJones (which I love reading) and Curious George (he snuggles his George while we read).
His teacher is still trying to push the tracing/writing crap at school. Blerg. So tired of hearing about it. He's not interested and he will come around in time. He LOVES to read and is always working with his hands to build or fix things. He doesn't want to sit down and color or trace letters.
(But there's a huge kerfluffle here because they took standardized testing from something like 3-4 hours to 12.5 hours for 3rd, 4th, and 5th and everyone is freaking out because it's too much But my state's education stuff is in the toilet. They're trying to remove the state superintendent of edcuation (basically because she's a Dem and every other person in gov't here is a Repub.) and they've stopped getting teachers input on anything. This is all led by our govenor. Our Gov. SUCKS. He's such an asshole. Most Repubs. I know loathe him. Our last Gov was awesome and now we have this guy, ugh....SO point is, I'm sure preschools are feeling some trickle down effect of getting kids 'up to speed' so that they're at or ahead of the curve starting school since there's so much riding on standardized testing...which is bullshit, but it is what it is. No teacher I know is happy about anything that's going on.)
