Awkward Parent Teacher Conferences: Part Two
I know what you are thinking... "What in the world is a Double B?"
Let me explain. No there is too much. Let me sum up.
Our elementary grades are A=advanced, P=proficient, B=Basic and BB=below basic.
When said daughter came home with the BB, I was curious. How does one receive a below basic in music? Is she not participating? Is she refusing to sing? Is she causing a problem?
As part of my parent/teacher conference, I scheduled an additional meeting with the music teacher.*
I was told that my daughter marches to the rhythm of her own drum.
Seriously? Apparently, like Maisy, she too was a twiddler, a dreamer, a silly heart, and a jabber box.
I concluded from that meeting that there are worse things than a BB in music.
*please note that said music teacher is no longer teaching in our district and that our current music staff is fantastically gifted and appreciative or dreamers and silly hearts. Especially on an elementary level.
Pish Posh's Get Fit Challenge: Week Five -- are you shittin' me?
I'm linking myself up again with Pish Posh's Get Fit Challenge and I am encouraging you all to do the same.
Do you have any left over New Year's resolutions that are nagging at you? Do you find yourself complaining more than rejoicing? Do you need to write more? To whine less? To take your own advice and avoid people who make you unhappy?
Link up with Pish every Thursday. We can encourage each other. We can share our successes and our failures. She's giving away a cool prize and best of all when it ends, you might just be in a better place than where you were when it started.
PERSONAL GOALS
I am pecking away at my book and more determined than ever to finish it before the end of this challenge.
On a similar note, I have found some awesome websites that might just help me with the publishing of my other book. Since thing didn't work out with the NAESP contest I really need to get serious on finding another outlet.
Query Tracker and Agent Query may need to become my stomping grounds.
I was beating myself up about not getting on the treadmill but I decided that walking in our hilly neighborhood is probably even better for me.
PROFESSIONAL GOALS
I KICKED ASS on the ServSafe test and got a 92%. I don't think I have ever gotten a 92% on anything. It was a challenge and I am so happy that it is complete. Certified for five years.
MENTAL HEALTH
I am happy to have the house back. All company is gone. We are not traveling for the Easter holiday. It is just a chillaxin' kind of time. I think I need it. The basement project continues and little by little it is starting to look like a room!
Yeah!
Looking forward to hearing how everyone did this week!
Wonderfully Random Wednesday: Chuck E Cheese, Gym Class Heros, and becoming a doctor
It's been a while since I had a wonderfully random post. Today seems like a good day. Warning: this post may be a clear indicator of just how likely it is that I have Adult ADD.
Snow. Hello winter! How nice of you to stop by. Actually, I haven't missed you a bit. In fact, few people have. You're kind of like that scarey aunt who everyone's favorite uncle is married to. We only put up with you because we have too.
I may need one of these shirts. It's part of the I hate balls promotion. There is a video by Katherine Heigl that is soo funny. Stop gasping. It's not what you're thinking. It's meant to encourage fixing your pets. OMG it is a hoot. If you haven't watched it, you really should.
Ovens are a lunchlady's friend. I am having a little tift with the one in our kitchen, but more about that on Friday.
Once Upon A Time. Still love this show but blogging about it leaves little satisfaction. The posts are hardly read and a lot of work to write. When I try to link up with others they ask me not to. I'm not sure they will continue.
I've been obsessing over Gym Class Heros lately. This is one of my favorites. I like it even more when it shuffles into my iphone play mix inbetween things like Rhianna, Reba, GaGa, Travie McCoy, Lady Antebellum and Sara Bareilles. My music collection has ADD too.
This stupid Chuck E Cheese post remains one of my most popular. I am linking it here just so I can work the words Chuck E Cheese into another post.
I am almost done with my second book! I love the characters in it so much I'm not sure I want it to end.
I suffer from blog envy. There are often times when I want to stand up and say (clears throat) "WTF my blog is funny..why aren't you reading me!" and then I try to remind myself that I blog for me and not for them. Of course, that doesn't usually help much.
This post about why I'm not a doctor yet is clearly a lot funnier than the one about Chuck E. Cheese and let's be clear he's no closer than I am to becoming a doctor!
