Yesterday I did something crazy. I know you will all think I'm nuts but I did it.
Yep! I went to Wal-mart. No that isn't the crazy part though it was pretty stupid considering it was a Sunday afternoon but no, that wasn't my crazy. Wanna know what I did? Well I'm gonna tell ya.
I bought school supplies. Can you even believe it's time? Wal-mart is having a huge sale and I thought it would be a good idea to go and get the sale stuff that was on my list. Crayons and glue for a quarter, rulers for ten cents, markers for a dollar. I left with over $30 worth of stuff and got maybe a third of Graham and Julianna's list.
Haven't started Allison's.
Even though Maggie will be home schooled I got a few things for her. She will need them and I do not want her to feel left out. I got her the thick markers, a pencil box, glue sticks etc. Oh my mom got this cute magnetic calendar dry erase board so that I can write her schedule for each month as I get it and we will know what is ahead of us.
The reading competition seems to have lapsed. Allison, of course, will win. I really need to MAKE Julianna read because she has a reading list, she did well at the beginning of the Summer and kinda fizzled. Today I'm gonna sit and let Maggie read to me. I want her to win that second place prize. She's close.
Speaking of little Loo. She had her well child exam and her Dr. referred us to a specialist for her possible LD. We have an appointment on Wednesday. He said he would ask us some questions and ask her some and get her to take a few little tests. Then we'll go back to her Dr. and together, the two of them, are supposed to figure out if she in fact has developmental delays or if it is a learning disability. I just want to get it straightened out for her. This is all new to me. Honestly I'm shocked that it's one my children. Now, I don't want that to sound bad. What I mean by that is you go through the "Why me?" stage. Well that is where I am. First I blamed everyone, past teachers particularly, then I blamed myself, a LOT. Now I'm over that. It is what it is and Maggie is just special.
We will get her through this. She can learn and she wants to learn, we just have to find out how she learns best.
Again it could simply be maturity issues. We will find out soon.
Allison begins band camp next week. Graham was going to baseball camp with Chipper this week but he gets immunizations on Tuesday, camp starts Wednesday...not such a good idea.
Gosh, is Summer over? Allison gets back from band camp on August 1st, she will have practice three days a week after that. School starts August 10th. Maggie starts August 17th. I start August 30th. Wow. Where did time go? :[
Time to work. Oh how I love to waste time but I have articles to write.
Supposed to storm some more today. I welcome the storms. C'mon rain.
