Dark Side

Last night, I (with some help) made the decision to turn to the dark side in the phone selection process. Dave is anti fruit, when it comes to phones, but somewhat endorsed taking this next step. He even sorta waited up with me until midnight, meaning, he slept on and off until 1150 pm when he woke up and helped me man a computer. We refreshed back and forth, and it still didn’t work. We tried for 45 minutes before I gave up since I had to teach an art and music lesson with another mom at 8 am in Brandon’s class. The other mom was doing most of the teaching, while I was helping out with supplies, glue-sticking, pencil sharpening, and help with the students. Dave stayed up trying until past 1 am. I got up early to help get Peyton ready for her make-up assessments. Dave got up and started calling and logging in again. He did finally get through to BB to get the phone there. Hopefully it arrives in time for my birthday, but either way, it should arrive sometime this month!

Peyton was scheduled for 740 am, and we got there at 735 am. Unfortunately, her teacher did not arrive until 748 am. First bell was 8 am, and I was a bit upset by her tardiness. She was late last week as well! But we did see Ms. Song bright and early…! Peyton and Brandon, who arrived later with Dave, played on the slides, which had dew on them. Her shorts were soaked on her bottom, but fortunately, she somehow had put her pants on backwards this morning! When her teacher arrived, I helped her change her shorts around without having to remove her shoes. At least she didn’t have a soggy bottom, but her shorts were wet in front now. I asked the teacher if she wanted me in or out of the classroom. She said she didn’t care, so I sat away from them, on their couch and looked at my phone. I did hear what she was being asked, which I somewhat reviewed with her this morning – letter sounds. Last time, she said she forgot D. This morning, I reviewed the two sounds each vowel made. When asked about sounds, Peyton only gave one sound for each of the vowels. She wasn’t asked for the alternate or the “long” sound, but she didn’t offer it up either. She did well with addition and subtraction of numbers to 5, but needed help with counters for numbers to 10. She read the book that was given to her, and she answered the comprehension questions that accompanied. They were inference-based questions, “How do you know that they are friends?” The teacher told her that she’s heard her read books to her friends, so she had another book ready for her. It was a book about a wiggly tooth. She read this, and then answered some questions about this. I wasn’t sure if this was as relatable, since she hasn’t had a missing tooth. I think one of the questions was, “Why does she want her tooth out?” I didn’t hear what she said because I was coming up with my own answer to that question 🙂 “Because she wants money from the tooth fairy,” was what I was thinking. I tried to remind her that the teacher is only looking to see what she knows or doesn’t know so she knows what to teach her this year. She is afraid of being wrong on answers, so sometimes she won’t answer at all.

Sometimes, because symptoms can also be common to other illnesses, the real illness may be overlooked. viagra 100mg mastercard She was quiet, but she did answer the questions. She was done after the first bell, then we headed back out to the playground. I talked to her about her behavior for school, and then I left to go to Brandon’s class. The other mom was already there, and we got the class set up. The kids came in shortly after flag salute, and then we started right away. The lesson went well, except for a pen that exploded in my hands. I had ink all over both hands, and the worst part was that it was in my rings! My band looked like it had sapphires, not diamonds 🙁 I was out of commission cleaning my hands with alcohol cleanser, which did help. I didn’t want to touch their work in case it transferred. I mostly cleaned up, though there was still ink in the ring. We wrapped up, and then I headed to work after saying bye to Brandon. He hadn’t really wanted to follow my directions, but his portrait of his teacher did turn out fairly well! Work went quickly, and I returned to get Peyton. CDC said she did really well there, but she had trouble in the morning at school. She was fine until free choice time, when she “squeezed Brandon and wouldn’t stop.” She changed to yellow and then finally on orange. 🙁 She needs to put it all together and do well in BOTH CDC and school. We touched base with Brandon, who had chess club, and then we headed home. She is still off electronics, so she did some reading and some worksheets while I cleaned up. We headed back to get Brandon, and because he has a cough and is slightly under the weather, we didn’t go anywhere. Because it was so hot, I’d considered going to the club to swim, but I wanted him to get better. We hung out here, practiced piano, and then both started to complain about being hungry. That meant I couldn’t stall any longer for dinner. I got some fish and quinoa prepped for them. Both ate, so I guess that was a good sign. Dave came home half-way through dinner, and he brought sushi, though the kids weren’t given any. Both kids bathed earlier in the day, as I wanted them both to get a good night’s sleep. We’ve had a busy, full week of activities, and with Brandon being sick, I didn’t want it to spread to Peyton (or me). Dave wanted them asleep for personal (baseball) reasons. They were in bed by 730 pm, and I think at least one or more were asleep by 8 pm. While I was getting them to sleep, Dave told me we got a response from Peyton’s friend’s mom. I’d invited them to a playdate with Peyton yesterday afternoon, but hadn’t heard from them. I saw her at drop off, but I didn’t want to bring it up again. I thought I was being ignored, or it went to spam, but she apologized for the late response. We’ll meet up after swim class for a little while, and then go home in time for Brandon’s baseball game on Sunday. Tomorrow is baseball practice for Dave, and most likely NOT Brandon, if he’s still coughing, possibly gym time for me, depending on Brandon’s situation, as I don’t want to drag him out, the playdate with the pre-school girls, and then my playdate with the girls 🙂 It’s super quiet now, with SF > LA 4-0, in the 2nd inning, so I’m enjoying the game!
