dyk that happy new year is of course sung to the tune that the restaurants use when they sing the happy happy birthday.... happy happy birthday to you song....
dyk so Happy New year!
dyk it's 11:00pm here but we celebrate as the ball drops on NYC!
DYK She made that clear on the handout she left the night of open house? (she was at band practice, so wasn't able to be there?)
DYK And her other teachers really only give 'take this home and finish it if you haven't finished it during class' homework?
DYK They are on a block system where they have 90 minute classes Tuesday thru Friday and skinny classes on Monday where they go to all of their classes?
DYK So Maegan has English and Math one day and Science and Social Studies the next?
DYK With classes 90 minutes long, they really should be able to finish most work while in class?
DYK Still, I don't fuss when she brings homework home?
DYK At least I get a chance to see some of what she's working on when she brings it home to work on it?
DYK It's when she doesn't bring it home that I have cause to worry?

dyk the kids were telling me how they were starving - Abi said her tummy couldn't take it
dyk so I whipped up a dinner
dyk Dek ate it all, Abi ate like a bird - what gives homegirl?
dyk my breaks are getting closer and closer together.

dyk my hips, back and tailbone just popped in ways I didn't realize they could...

"dyk maybe you should start lying.
dyk when she asks for something, tell her yes, then don't do it, or don't allow it
dyk hmmm, that might be a very interesting social experiment!!!"
DYK I really have thought seriously about trying this, but I just cannot get past the fact that I know it's wrong to lie?
DYK It's all a part of being a good example, I guess?

"dyk I've contemplated lying about little things to Hayden so she can get a taste of her own medicine.
dyk but what could I lie about that would have an impact?
dyk that's where I'm drawing a blank."
DYK I seriously don't think it would have that much effect on Maegan?

DYK Yeah, that is way too much homework, Tracie?
DYK Was it different subjects?
DYK Maybe the teachers need to do some coordinating so the kids aren't covered up with homework from different classes all on the same day?

DYK It is expected to be in the single digits here in a few nights?
DYK Now to some of you, that is not big deal, but for us here in the South...it's HUGE?
DYK I absolutely hate cold weather?
DYK My PF has been acting up terribly the last month or so and both me feet feel so much worse when it's cold?

DYK Our trouble is that it is barely getting above freezing around here?
DYK So with the snow that we are expecting tomorrow, they are afraid of icing into Friday and maybe Saturday?
DYK I'm afraid of the ice more so than the snow?
DYK Ice around here means downed power lines/no power, no heat?
DYK Usually, we can depend on our generator to keep the fridge/freezer going and fire up a few electric space heaters?
DYK But our generator is broken right now and Bruce hasn't been able to find one that would do the job at a price we could afford right now?
DYK So, we will keep our fingers crossed that they can get the gas logs working in the fireplace just in case we have a power outage?
