We are waiting for them to assign a gate to our flight and waiting on lunch. I'm starving and frustrated with A. He makes traveling so difficult. Quit over thinking every step and just go! To much together time apparently....

No letter grades here, 5th/6th grades we had little pop quizzes, we got grades for, but those weren’t for a report card. Starting 1st grades the kids get report cards, with a small paragraph about how they do in each subject. With the instruction that these are not for the kids to read. The kids each get their own personal verse written by the teacher for them, very sweet.

I found wine. And I made a friend at the bar that’s on my flight. We know a couple of the same people. It reminded me of my dad because no matter where we went he always found someone he knew.
We started chatting about why I was in OK, and kids and what not. He then tells me I need to promise him to do something. I asked him what it was and he said that I need to take a day for just myself…to do whatever I wanted and whatever I needed. I started crying and told him to stop talking. Lol. He was so nice.

jeez nam2013 that's ridiculous! What a barrier to get help! I'm sorry it's so hard to find someone. I know right?!? I’ll find someone eventually, but it would be nice if it was sooner than later. I cried at work today over the fact that my mil had picked ds up from school and I didn’t know that beforehand. I mean come on nam 🤦🏼♀️.

I love this, T. Take his advice! He was put there for a reason.

Aw, that's so sweet tgrimes. I love how sometimes the universe aligns us at the right place and time to meet the right people. 💓 Ugh, so frustrating nam2013. I'm so happy you're reaching out for help and I hope something comes through soon.

I took a random day off because I have use it or lose it to burn. My cold is on its tail end and went straight into my period 4 days early (after my last one was over a week late). My uterus feels like it's trying to crawl out of my body and I wish it would.
Our maids are here so I'll have a clean house this weekend. The girls have half days all week. They'll be home any minute and I'm taking them to the pottery place to paint some Christmas projects.

I had a quiet but productive day today. L went to my parents. He’s been such a clinger lately so it was a nice break.
I went to the chiro this morning which was much needed. I could already feel the difference when I ran on the treadmill today. Dh is on his way home and then I’m going to meet a friend for a margarita while he feeds the kids leftovers.

Morning. It’s raining and dreary here. Should make for a lazy day on my part. Does anyone’s kid get letter grades- like As, abs, Cs- on their report card? We are getting on track, approaching expectations and while it’s all good, I just wonder when the change happened from letter grades to these benchmarks. I know from the graded papers we get weekly that he does well and understands what is being taught so I guess I should just go by that. I just don’t know what the other benchmarks encompass. Like is AE a higher grade than OT? My kids’ school does 1-4 instead of letters. I bet if you email the teacher they can send you a breakdown of what the grading scale is. I think letter grades start in middle school.

Our school is a little odd. We’ve done letter grades for the actual classes (math science etc) but do excellent, satisfactory, etc for behavioral items and religion.

[mention]lahdeedah [/mention] from my understanding approaching is just below OT and exceeding is above OT since that’s what my work does for reviews.
