School just called. Elementary is letting out at 11:30, middle and high at 12:30. There are gonna be some ticked off parents trying to figure out how to get their kids. EEK! Oh, well. I'm pretty sure there will be no school tomorrow. Snow is falling. It's pretty. I just wish it wouldn't stick because I'm tired of seeing it on the ground. laugh out loud

Quote from jenni. :
Have you had allergy testing done?
Long, long story but no actually. When we were kids they did the scratch test using metal needles and I get terrible injection site reactions. So my family dr never wanted to put me through that because I would react to each and every test due to the needle.

Fast forward 30 years; the dr I liked (who stopped practicing) mentioned that they stopped using needles for the allergy test some time ago and we considered doing them. But here's the catch; if it is an allergy whatever it is must be widespread for me to have such a reaction. It's most likely that because of the size of the reaction the size of the exposure is also large and if I'm exposed that much to it I probably cannot avoid it anyways. We already know I'm allergic to latex, sulfa, and bird dander. I already know I'm prone to hayfever. Rather than do the test and get my skin involved in overreacting, it was her opinion that we'd be better off finding an allergy med I could tolerate well and not being too concerned about what it was from.

Short version:If it's an allergy let's just find an allergy medicine that I can take without bad side affects and screw figiuring out what I'm alllergic to because I probably can't avoid it anyways.

So Jenni.... I guess now would not be the time to tell you I just did my run in a tank top and shorts? Hide

It's supposed to get cold again tonight, though. I enjoyed the sun on my arms and legs today!!

Good God, woman. You're a medical marvel.
I was just wondering if it was something in your house keeping you sick.

They're likely to start taking holidays.

Just grounded Nick until midterms. He's been warned since LAST midterms. His grade in geometry was an 83...it's AP geometry, and his test score is 91...but his homework grade is 71, and his bellringers grade (something they give them to do until class starts) is only 44. He just hasn't bothered. Obviously, he thought we were kidding. Guess he'll know better next time. Mad

Whip You go, Mama. One thing I cannot stand is outright laziness. Having problem with the subject matter I can understand, but to flat out refuse to do your work is inexcusable. It's school, not choose your own adventure time. Annoyed

I have this problem with BT a lot.

It had better because I'm sick of it. I usually go to bat for him with his dad, but if he's not even going to try, I'm not sticking up for him. Robert and I discussed it and made the agreement about him being grounded before he ever got home. Also, his teachers have been asked to let me know IMMEDIATELY if he misses ANY assignment. Bell ringers, test, homework...I don't care if he is supposed to sign his name for 5 pts and doesn't do it, I will be told.

That's what I told him. If he were truly struggling that's one thing, but test scores of 91 tells me he's not. Plus, he just doesn't seem to care as long as he can skate by. If I was scared I'd be grounded for my grades, I'd do every single assignment, so at the very LEAST, I could say. "Hey, I did EVERYTHING."

I totally skated based on my test grades. Fortunately my mom took the viewpoint that if I'm acing every test, I must be learning the material woot
I'm not sure I got a report card from junior high onward that didn't say "does not work to potential" Prop
