Top Ten

Wm decided to stay in the same school next year and opt to do the new pull-out gifted program there. He is so happy he gets to stay where he's at and still take advantage of great gifted services!! We were even more pleased with his decision when they posted the results of the statewide school performance index and Wm's school is in the top 10 schools in the state of Ohio. And I'm not talking elementary schools. I mean ALL schools (elementary, middle, and high - private and public). In fact, Wm's school is in the top 3 elementary schools in the entire STATE. So we feel very confident he is getting an OUTSTANDING education there!! (However, the middle school it funnels into was number 2,194 - soooo…that's not so good. But, hopefully, he can attend the gifted middle school or the Metro school at Ohio State and bypass that action so we don't have to move!)

This time change is kicking my butt. I hate daylight savings time. A lot. I was too tired yesterday morning to pack a lunch like I do every day. So when lunchtime rolled around, and I looked outside to see it was pouring rain and super gross out, I did not feel like running out to grab something. I texted Steve and jokingly told him he should bring me lunch (since it would take him a half hour just to get here!) This was his response:

HAHA!

Needless to say, he did not bring me food. I coerced a friend into going out with me, so it wasn't too bad. And I mustered the will to pack this morning (but not shower). So today I have food and greasy hair. I also forgot to force Wm to bathe yesterday evening, so he, too, is greasy. This week is a fog. I thought Wm was suffering the effects of the time change as well because he had a weird meltdown doing his Math homework last night (which never happens!) But then Steve came and looked at it and he had a meltdown! Neither of them could figure it out. When you send Math home with your 3rd grade class that a man who has taken 4 college-level calculus classes and has tutored college math cannot figure out…something is wrong. If I can't figure out, that's to be expected.
