It has been a pleasant day for me. Had a meeting on a child who has come a long way from pre school. In the past I have had to stand against many folks who have wanted to put him in a self contained class. Even his mom was angry at me and cried after meetings. The mom called me a few days ago and wanted me to go with her to a meeting on him. He has improved so much. I am so proud of him and of her for continuing to advocate for him.

The weather has been great today, all sun, no humidity.

Yesterday, I caught part of the movie, Midnight in the Garden..., wanted to hear the accents and look for a little local culture. : )

I still get confused on the board and miss new posts. It says there were 122 posts today, but they are hard to locate. I did see Hope's description of the sauce. I want to try that. I also saw Francine trip log. Sounds as if your trip was jam packed with things to enjoy. I also found that Lanie is back. Now I need to see what else I can find. HAGE

Bren, what does it mean when you refer to a "self contained"class?

Whatever, it should make you feel good that you have helped the little one. They can be so fragile.

Rewarding day at work for you, Bren, I'm happy for you, and proud of you too for standing up for what you knew would be best for that boy.

And speaking of buried posts, I don't know if you saw where I posted back to you or not, but I did see your post about the pimento cheese and I am glad you like it. I take it to my tennis matches sometimes and it always gets rave reviews, even when made with the reduced fat cheese.

Also told you "thank you" for replying to my question about the weather up there.....Have a good evening...BB

This child has emotional problems. They wanted to put him with severely handicapped kids. He has come a long way. This is my favorite type of student. If he had been placed with those students, he would have withdrawn within himself. He never used to interact with other kids. Today he got called down for acting silly. This was good. He has the most wonderful smile when he sees me.

The cheese will become a regular here. I had it toasted on spelt bread for lunch today. Thanks, BB

Let me congratulate you on the success with this child and not giving up with him.

If you want to view and post to messages you have not seen, on the right hand side of the top of this page is a box with a menu. If you choose "unread messages" you will see just the ones you have not seen yet. That's where the black dots come in handy. Kathey

Wishing you a good night's sleep, Brenda. Sounds like you had a rewarding day. Nice way to start the week off.

I am heading off to bed...just did the same ole around here...household chores, but did get a few more boxes in that hall closet sorted and condensed.

I watched the same movie yesterday afternoon too.

Hugs...Pab
