Loca Grande cried wolf one too many times... As much as Loghead and I tried to appeal to them, none of them wanted to see their mother today before going in for her "surgery."

She keeps calling it a surgery, but I am now guessing it's just the biopsy for the growth on her thyroid. I'm not really sure. Heck, when I talked to her husband last night, he didn't even seem sure as to what was going on! Sadly, that makes me question what's really going on with her. Is this just another of a MILLION ploys this woman has made to get attention from her kids.

It's time to start thinking about going back to work. Saw the supply list at the super center. Always have to pick up a copy so I can remember what I asked the students' bring. After doing this for 15 years, you'd think I could remember! LOL

Just wondering- how do you use spiral notebooks in your classroom? Especially in regards to reading or writing notebooks... Thanks for the tips!

When Loca Grande tried to get custudy changed to her 2 years ago (after 10 years! of us doing ALL the work), the same judge from the original ruling told her she was crazy and sent us all to court-ordered mediation.

Things like sports, college, cars and updates in visitation were discussed and plans were documented. We even made a plan for graduation parties.

The biggie was braces. Since she backed out of paying any part of Princess's braces, she volunteered to pay all of PITA's ortho bills.

I wake up and each day feels like the one before. The kitchen's a mess, but it was clean when I went to bed last night. There's more laundry to do. Meals to prepare.

Princess snacked again late last night, and left the mess on the counter. She, Gibby and I are the only ones home this week, until late tonight. I got up and went about my morning chores. I left the mess she made on the counter. Gibby was running around, helping with the things he does.
