Friday Night Leftovers (The I Don't Feel Good Edition)


I don't feel good.  My throat hurts and I'm congested.  Unfortunately for me, the May issue goes to print on Sunday so I will be working through the weekend.  Enjoy tonight's leftovers!
  • I emailed Hannah's principal today.  I am 100% convinced that Hannah's teacher doesn't like her and grades her unfairly.  Too much to go into details (definitely a blog by itself), but I'll update when I hear back.
  • We now have Hannah on an allowance program.  Mostly, this is our way of teaching her the value of a dollar.  We felt like after she spent $800 online buying coins and upgrades for her online games that she needed a lesson in saving and seeing how much a buck will actually get you.  So far, o good - she is doing her chores each week and saving her money!
  • Abigale took two STARR tests this week (math & language arts), which are basically state-wide tests given to 3rd graders all the way through your Senior year, that determine if you have learned the material covered during that year.  If you don't pass the STARR test, you don't promote to the next grade. Talk about pressure!
  • We got AT&T Uverse!  It is sooooo much better than Comcast.  My laptop no longer randomly drops its Internet connection and our HD Channels work!  Hannah got cable in her room for the first time and she is thrilled to say the least.  Up until now all she could watch in her room was videos.  It was time for her to get real TV and most importantly, it didn't cost us any extra on our bill.
  • I think my perception of relationships has been warped after 25 years of watching Soap Operas.  Do people ever really love each other like that?
