Weekend Edition

So, it's the weekend, again. Carli was busy earlier visiting neighbors and making a general pain of herself. She'd escaped out the front door and down the street to a neighbors house and neglected to tell me she was skipping down the street to visit. Needless to say I was worried half to death when I called her name and she didn't answer. I checked the entire house before heading out the door myself to find out where she might have gone. I started thinking perhaps she'd been kidnapped and gone forever. About a minute later (probably less, really) I found her at said neighbors house in the front yard. I tried calling the neighbors cell phone, but she had left it inside and she honestly thought I knew of Carli's whereabouts. Anyway, after visiting with the neighbor and our newest neighbors, we came home and now Carli is happily watching television in her room.

Continuing to blog, no matter what

I've decided that I'll continue to blog no matter who reads it or not. Once again I will put this on my Facebook so that hopefully my DIL and other female friends and family members will read it, comment and let me know what they think of my current and not so current ramblings.

Today is Veteran's Day. A day to remember those who have served and are serving our country. My husband is among those who have served. I'm proud to be married to a vet and extremely happy that he came home from the war. For without him, I would not be the person I am today and would not have a wonderful daughter to raise.

So, onto my blogging for today. Maybe, if Carli will stay in her room for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Work has been going exceptionally well and we recently switched gears and started using a new program in our Learning Lab. We have also hired two new IAs to help out in the Math Lab. They have also been helping out in the classrooms, fitting in and figuring out their way around the campus.

Carli is growing and changing every day. She loves school, is doing well and learning more and more in reading, math, science and art. Her handwriting is also coming along nicely and improving, as well. She has decided that she wants to go to Summer School again this next summer and take two classes that will help her in 3rd grade and two 'fluff' classes. Math and something to do with science and then cooking/baking and yoga.

Speaking of yoga, Carli is learning all about it in Kid Zone - her before and after school enrichment program that she is enrolled in during the school year. Ms. Dory is an awesome teacher and treats all the children with love and respect. She's teaching them the different positions and also about healthy eating. Carli really likes her and it's mutual!


I hope once I put this on Facebook I will get some readers. Love you!
