Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;

The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;

The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;

From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

dyk oh man, christmas and the kids

dyk by now I usually have them immersed in projects that we make each year for our family and friends

dyk and we have started saving up for the big family santa present and each of their special Santa gifts -- and stockings (that's all we do)

dyk Deklan's christmas list is LONG and he dictated it to Sean and Sean wrote it all down -- it was hysterical

dyk he wants a phone w/ games (like Sean's HTC smart phone) and a laptop, and a DS and a 4 wheeler

dyk I discovered, Cathy, that Sean's laptop has the most updated operating system and it still take a second for the page to load when I first log in -- but then there are no posting issues at all

dyk so since the kids are in school, and I have missed y'all, I can hang out more!!!

dyk it's been nice to write out a running commentary again

dyk I am sure you all most missed my constant whining about Abigail -- HAHA

dyk the pyschologist told me that Abi will qualify for the special education program -- GREAT NEWS

dyk we have a 504 meeting to get some of the smaller environmental pieces (classroom seating/survival kit use/extra time for work) set into place and then her IEP will have the larger issues -- measurable goals -- and set up therapy session in school and the resource class time she'll have

dyk we are also going to request and really push for transportation as a related service -- we cannot put her on a regular ed bus -- not yet. We have a bit more maturing to do before she can handle that.

dyk the kids are subjecting me to SpongeBob Squarepants

dyk it's on in the living room which I almost NEVER allow b/c I can't stand the voices

dyk so of course for Abi, it's not enough I am sitting on the couch with them, with spongebob on the big family TV -- but she wants me to look, look, look,, watch --

dyk I DON'T LIKE SPONGEBOB!
