Through With the Class!  


Yes!!!!  I am through with the class.  I got my discussion board questions answered and posted, replied to other student's postings, and it is done.  It is over for this class.  Now I am going to concentrate on 1)TheTeen's issues and mothering and nurturing her  2) Putting our household together and 3) attacking this big long list of things to do that I have listed on my Facebook so I won't forget them.

I will do another class this year - in the dead of the summer heat - when I will be wanting to be inside anyway.   LOL  It will be the Benefits and Compensation class. So I'll take May off and maybe most of June.  Maybe this will give me a chance to get some things done around here.  Then I'll just take 2 classes next year and will be thru completely by this time next year. 

I feel that TheTeen's grades are her way of crying out for help.  I think that with the boyfriend break up (over a year together) and the move - taking our attention off of her and onto the house, the pets and everything else...I think she felt displaced somehow.  Even at a time that would normally be happy.  I think she did not apply herself during the packing, moving, unpacking - on top of being upset.  And I think that she was even surprised at one point at her own grades and then hoping she could bring it up before we found out.  I do not know if she can bring up her grades before the end of school.  She is supposed to speak with both teachers tomorrow to see what it will take for her to bring her grades up and give us a report on it tomorrow night.   It has definitely been a rough month.  She actually seems happy tonight despite our rocking her world with her losing her privileges.  I find this interesting.  I answered her phone and told Yawn Guy we thought a lot of him but that she would not be on the PC, not on her phone, and anti social til grades brought up.  But that she would see him at school tomorrow.  TheTeen seemed appreciative that I did that for her so he wouldn't think she was ignoring him. 

Well, I guess I better go to bed so I can manage another work week as well as everything else that needs to be done.  Just had to update and tell you about my class.  I'm thrilled its over.  A big worry and a big load off my mind since the class time was to end on 5/16/08. 

Nite Nite...

    I know you must be so relieved to be done with that class so you can focus on the other things!!  I am thinking about taking a class too and I am nervous about it.  I don't think I can do it LOL.

    I was hoping you'd take some time away from school with all that's been going on. GOOD for you!

    GREAT JOB on the class!!!!  Sorry that your Mother's Day kinda went flop.  I'm glad that you enjoyed the new church.  As for the teen...my son did the same thing last year a couple of weeks before school got out for the summer.  Needless to say we visited the school & got all of the work he needed to make up.  (His teachers were very nice about letting him do this....)  He worked his BUTT off the last couple of weeks, but he passed.  I hope everything works out!
