I am so glad it is Friday...

So, today seems to be better than yesterday.

I went to the chiropractor yesterday afternoon. That seemed to help with my back pain. Although as I sit here and type this I can feel my shoulder tightening up.

I think I have SAD. I was looking back on my blog and notebook journals I kept prior to that, and I notice a pattern. I always seem to be depressed and moody this time of year. This is something to look into further I think.

It was a LONG week.

We had B's teacher conference last night. It went well. We met with all three of his teachers. He is doing really well in Math (and actually like it now...good teacher). He is also doing well in Science & Social Studies. His spelling is excellent. The only area he still really struggles with is his writing. We need to focus on that more.

He is doing great in the social area. So far no issues this year. Although he still doesn't have anyone come over and he never gets invited to another person's home. He claims he has friends at school. I am just keeping my fingers crossed.

He was assigned a science project this week. They are studying the digestive system. Each child got a different part of the system to do a presentation on. Ya know, the mouth..the esophagus...the small intestine. The were assigned by pulling them out of a hat. Guess which part B got? Yep...the anus and rectum. JEEZ!!! of all the parts to get. The perfect subject for a 5th grade boy! UGH. We spoke to the teacher about it last night. She said that she cringed when he pulled that out too. She said that they made it very clear to the class that no one was to make fun of anyone else and if she heard any name calling there would be severe consequences. So, it sounds like she has a handle on the potential pitfalls here.

So, now I get to do a project with him on the butt! YIPEE... You're suppose to draw a diagram for the presentation...not exactly sure how that ones going to work.

No big plans for the weekend. My mom-in-law is coming down for the day on Saturday. I must continue to tackle the mountain of laundry that has formed in my basement and if my energy level continues to be up, I am going to tackle the spare room! Only one week until I can start to decorate for Christmas. I can't wait! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! It is my absoulte favorite holiday.

Ok, back to work.

Toodles!
