So this morning Dearra called and said Cary wasn't feeling well and I should call the school. So I did, and then got in touch with him to see what was wrong. He said he thought he had a fever, so I asked him if he knew how to...

Not broken...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 21 Mar 16

How many doctors does it take to read an x-ray? In this case, three. The first doctor, at the urgent care, looked at Cary's x-ray and said no break. Then the radiologist looked it over, and said there was a fracture. Today the...

So today was Cary's IEP meeting. I had it on my calendar to be at the high school by 3:30, and told Cary he had to come to the meeting before. Made sure the ex knew about it also. Early afternoon, I get a text from the ex that...

So I met with the band teacher this morning, and the counselor, and the special ed teacher, with an assistant principal thrown in for good measure. Basically, what Cary needs to do to get his grade up in band is to practice two...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 14 Oct 15

So I was checking Cary's grades. The band teacher finally had everything input through last Friday. And there's another darn missing writing assignment. "Cary"... Cary doesn't know anything about a writing assignment, didn't...

Boys and Bad Influences

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 26 Feb 13

This year, the children go to the "Teen Center" after school. Last year, Dearra took the bus home, and the twins went to extended day care at the elementary school. They can't take the bus home, because we now live outside the...

Sometimes bad news hits a little close to home

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 1 Dec 11

I was walking to the car dealer yesterday to pick up my car when the phone rang. It was the principal of Cary's elementary school. Not good. When the school calls in the middle of a school day, it's usually a lockdown or an...

Wasting energy...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 22 Jun 11

No, I'm not talking about gasoline, or electricity, or our carbon footprint. I'm talking about children. If they used as much energy doing chores as they used to avoid them, imagine how much energy they'd have for playing and...

I think I've been bamboozled... I have to get on Cary every morning to change his socks and underwear and brush his teeth. It has gotten to where I actually have to do inspections. But he's getting wise to me. If I'm not paying...

This morning, in addition to the usual battles with Cary, something new came up. Dearra saw him sitting on the floor with the milk carton. She wasn't quite sure if he was sniffing it or what, but later Naomi caught him drinking...

My kids are funny

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 2 Mar 11

So we're eating breakfast this morning, and Cary's pouring himself some milk. So I walked over and said, "thank you for the milk, Cary." He just glared at me, and walked off with it, but not before dropping the carton. "Was that...
