Question: anyone’s schools use Lifetouch for school photos? Are you able to order *after* you see the prints, or do you have to preorder?

Ours our Lifetouch and it's always order after.  You'll get a code to enter and you'll be able to see the pics with all the backgrounds then order the packages you want.

Hmm. They sent home the code and all the info saying ‘order before picture day’ (which is this Wednesday). I’m wondering if this is just trying to create a false sense of urgency.

I just hate to get a bunch of the pics turn out terrible; conversely, I might want more if they’re good. Sigh. I may have to suck it up and call.

Yes, and we were able to order after we saw the prints.

tgrimes what’s ARD?

Admission, Review, Dismissal process.  It's what they call the meetings for the IEP, I guess.

[cagoldi]

My wrist/elbow situation continues to be pretty painful. I definitely overdid it at the party and my house still looks like a toy tornado blew through here.

I really need a break. There was a killer deal on airfare for this weekend and the kids will be at Pete’s, so I snapped up a flight to Denver for Thursday night and I plan to do nothing all weekend except Netflix and chill. Tim is planning to make me a vegan dinner for Saturday night, but he doesn’t normally cook, so we might actually have to go out to eat depending on how successful (or unsuccessful) that endeavor is.

[cagoldi]

klong11 I’m sorry the mornings are harder than they have to be. It’s really frustrating and unfair to be rushing around while your partner is oblivious or completely checked out.

If not for your sake, at least for C, I wish he would level up. At some point, she will be wondering what he contributes, if she hasn’t started noticing the lack of effort already.

M's school pictures are tomorrow and I had to order them already.  So dumb from a parent's point of view.

Great news, trtlcrzy! I'll keep everything crossed for you!

[wineallthetime]

I'm at my sister's house. It's my niece's 4th bday so my sister took her and L shopping and out to lunch while I hang with the younger 3!

Ours does life touch. They say you have to order before but I did after and it was fine.

[trtlcrzy]

Thanks everyone. Also, an update on H: her cut was a lot smaller than it appeared in the pic DH sent me. It’s probably 1/2 in long. She’s handling it fine.

Can someone come get my work keys out of this lock for me 😬

Also, hi!

Had a training today at the school for Sierra’s communication device (it finally came about a week ago!). Now I’m at work battling spiders and dealing with tourists.

Holy crap! Time to burn down the building. It's been flooded enough as it is.

[peachsmama]

Mallory has a cold and she handles it about as well as a husband... she screams everytime I put her down.

We also had to order beforehand. I will say I didn’t mind in this instance because one of the packages was only $10 - basically one sheet of pics. Good enough for me.

Yess!! trtlcrzy, wonderful news. Fingers and toes crossed for a good appointment!
