Eek....is he hacking up a storm? I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night with a coughing fit that didn't want to go away and I'm still having issues. I don't know why...I don't feel sick at all. Hope your brother is better soon and you don't catch it!My poor brother has bronchitis.Illness going around here. Thank goodness I'm already on an antibiotic so I'm less likely to catch it from him.
Sending {{HUGS}} from a nice safe distance. Do you have allergies? That's how my dh knows it's allergy season. GWS xoxo
I guess they don't have school buses there? 30 minutes is a long bike ride, especially in the winter months, although I did have to walk to school uphill both ways.
There's really no such thing as homeschooling here. But we refused to send him to school for reasons I don't want to get into here in a public forum. School is required though, so we had to have some alternative and the school said they'd be willing to put things online for him and the attendance officer agreed that it was an acceptable alternative short term. If it takes weeks and weeks, he'll have to be placed SOMEWHERE. But since it's OUR decision to keep him home, it's on us to provide a suitable solution until we get him enrolled somewhere. The school says they can't offer him the environment he needs, so we HAVE to enroll him somewhere else, but he COULD go back there until we get him enrolled. We just refuse to do that as we feel he is not safe there. He's really happy he doesn't have to go back. He was terrified. He IS nervous about a new school, so we're looking at websites with him for the schools we're looking at and he is concerned about how the homeschooling will work. "Do I have to call you Mr. --- and Mrs. ----?" No...we're just mom and dad. "Do I have to go outside for the recess?" No, you can play inside if you want to. "What about PE?" But overall, he's relieved that he's not going back to that school. I've filled my work in about everything that's happened and they are giving me 3 months to choose the hours I'm available to work so I can stay at home for now with him and then I can change my availability back to normal once he's in a new school. Since I don't have set hours anyway, I'm a flex worker...I can always say I can't work during vacation periods or whatever. The only issue was changing my hours for this next 2 weeks for which I was already scheduled. I had to move all my hours to the evening and let one shift fall. So they are working with me.
Not really a side...just a dipping sauce for the fries instead of ketchup or mayo.
I do, but it's usually my eyes that get itchy and swollen, not my throat that acts up. I can't lie down. I sleep sitting up so I don't start coughing. I have slept sitting up for part of the night ever since pregnancy though, because my hips would ache so bad after sleeping on my side for a while and I'd need to straighten out, but couldn't lie flat on my back or I couldn't breathe properly, so I would prop myself up for part of the night and I still do that. So last night, I just slept sitting up. No biggie.
Ha! I bet you walked up that hill in 2 feet of snow, too! You poor thing!I guess they don't have school buses there? 30 minutes is a long bike ride, especially in the winter months, although I did have to walk to school uphill both ways.
Well hopefully your ds will be able to focus on his schoolwork in the interim and not worry about what happens after he leaves his classroom.
Thanks. I'm pretty confident he'll be fine. We're quite lucky in that school work is really easy for him...he doesn't really need the instruction. He's not good at planning and organization, but that's what we're for. And with any luck it will only be a couple of weeks...a long as it takes to pick a school and get all the paperwork approved.
Getting better. The nausea is pretty much gone, but my appetite is still off and I still have some back pain. Thankfully my job doesn't involve standing for long periods of time, so that helps.
We really liked Art Smith's restaurant. The prices weren't over the top and the food was delicious!
Pretty!!And here at our dusk tonight.
It wasn't till forums that I knew mayo was a dipping sauce either. I learn stuff here.
Hmmm. Must have been an oversight
Know that feeling. Gran always ripped my new clothes apart to get to fit. My first uniform was a children's 6. I was still in preschool sizes and uniforms were not made that small.Where I grew up it was when the girls got their first grown up dressy outfit. Not so much a rule as tradition. Thinking back the mother of a rather short girls took her daughter for her first dress in the juniors department and then proceeded to spend a small fortune to have it altered and had to go into the city for a pair of dress shoes. After confirmation most of the girls got taken out for dinner at a fancy restaurant sans siblings.
