Re: More Progression

Amanda
OMG! could he be cuter?! Now help me out..is a footy and American football, a rugby ball?

Home learning?...I'm not buying that one!
Home learning is stuff like: where did Mum hide the (insert name of junky snack here)...
when I do this to my sibling - this happens...
do carrots bounce...
how about eggs...
will the dog/cat eat crayons...
how long till the technicolor poop appears...
It's not related to classrooms in any way!!

But learning progress discussions...that sounds much more fun than parent-teacher conferences! My heart goes out to you on the project front...but I'm glad to know you're a supporter, not a do-er. On more than one occasion over the years I've had parents complain about the grades they got on projects. Of course they correct themselves when I call them on it...but by then the cat's out of the bag!

I'm glad the new meds are not knocking you out. And I definitely think the improvement in your cough sounds promising! My onc is off to ASCO this week too. Looks like we both picked go-getters! Good for us!

And, I'm with the other gals...I bet you get to that wedding wigless and lovely! Is the pixie like the one in our avatar photo? I love that look on you.

Keep feeling good...sending love your way!
Denise
