Well good morning Bobbi!! :)

We didn't do kindergarten when I was that age :?:
Thing's sure have changed.

We had kindergarten but it was closer to what is now pre-school. More like getting you used to being around other kids, learning colors, numbers and letters with a lot of play and a nap in the middle. It was half a day... They expect so much from children now. :unsure:

Wanted to get on last night but just didn't have enough umph left in me. We loaded a 24' trailer of wood, then I went and got water, then to the library to download some of my list of videos I wanted from youtube. I got 22 saved, 3 of them would have exceeded my download allowance to download one of them. The total would have been 10 days worth of our "allowance"... I've decided to download several crochet tutorials since if we were to find a "remote" ranch job it might take 6 weeks to get internet like it did last time. Always nice to have something to do...

hahaha he does look tiny...I forget how big Avery is until I see her with other kids her age :laugh:
was he excited?

lol Dale don't feel bad, we didn't really have kindergarten here either...we did but it was an option (more like a glorified daycare)
I also remember having naptime until 2nd grade :lol: man I miss naptime :D
and recess until high school :lol: which then became "study hall" aka nap time again wooooooooooooo

    Yep, writing it out wore me out! We used to have a free zone, but not anymore. For 1 gig and a refill of 568 mb per day (if you use over 568 mb it slows down to were sites time out before they load) and it doesn't go back up to 1 gig till it catches up 568 mb per 24 hours. For this fine service we pay $89 a month... Yes, I have a large S on my forehead and it doesn't stand for super woman...:unsure:

    Yes Shad, that is what ours was too. Mom went back to work from the time I was a week old (thank goodness, or I might not have survived! She wasn't fond of kids...) so it was a free baby sitter. :blink:

    You have a spectacular day too Evie!:wub:

    Awwwww I love the pictures Jeff. It reminds me of my 20 year old and his first week of school. A trip down memory lane. They teach them to say the words correctly so you'll never hear those cute mis-pronunciation again. They teach them to use sissors, which mine mastered in with his shirts as well as his fellow students. :) I bought many shirts the first few weeks. Then mine showed how smart he was not losing his place in line for the slide on the playground to run to the bathroom, mine waited until he got to the top and pee'd off the slide before going down. When I asked why he said "I had to go so bad I couldn't sit down, I had to pee first." :blush:

    So after all this his first week. I asked "Well what did you learn at school this week?" He threw his head back like the memory tortured his brain, his arms hanging low and dragging his feet he said "I learned to stand in lines, lines to play, lines to the bathroom, lines to the lunchroom, lines, lines, lines. " :lol::lol::lol:

    ug....my daughter....she's having a bad day today....she ran out of her meds again, it's been 2 days and she's all freaking out about the what ifs and might bes....
    so the school called cuz she was getting a bit worked up so they have her in the office doing her work atm....
    thankfully her family doctor refilled her prescription again and she's going next week to meet with a new therapist....cuz the one we have is an :censored:
    but I think what's really stressing her today is that it's picture day and I told the school that she doesn't need to have her pic taken so don't worry with it....
    so far they said don't worry to come pick her up, but if she starts spazzing again i'll need to get her but atm she's doing ok being in the media room alone working on school work....
    but i think she'll calm down knowing that i'll have her meds tonight, and hopefully they aren't going to make her take her pic....also while on phone with the school I was able explain to them that she doesn't want to do swimming so they gonna put her into an alt for that and also to allow her to wear leggings under her gym shorts....so hopefully they'll tell her this news today and that should help her relax as well and hopefully be able to return to her normal classrooms...

    and now it's time for me to go to work and hopefully not get a phone call to come pick her up asap....

    have a good day all...

    Ewww! Your's sounds worse than mine!!! :ohmy: :facepalm:
    :laugh: :laugh:

    Yeah, I can say that I do not recommend hughes net. On top of that we pay $10 more a month for their equipment, we started out buying it when we had it installed, it lasted 1 month longer than the contract. When we replaced it DH said rent theirs...:facepalm: They were our only option. Now I think the one through dish may be available here... I don't want to pay a new installation fee and all that though. Maybe it will be better at the next place.:unsure:

    Guess I better go try to accomplish something... I will be here, just in and out.
