Feeling Chillin'
Hearing Rolling Stones rolling around my head... lol
Start Me Up
I guess that certain things don't translate 'across the pond'.
Here is a query from Andy:
Comment from: acoward15
"1. What is Earth Science and Freshman Grammar? Where Freshman required to speak another language?
10. What is a fight song? We did a lot of fighting at school but we didn't sing about it.
12. Is Senior cut day something to do with self harming? Is it an Emo/Goth thing?

To clear this up, Earth Science was used as a name for the general science course that all freshmen were required to take. Sophmores could move on to Biology, and then Junior to Chemistry, but they were not required, at that time.
Grammar, was a specific part of the language arts program, not a separate language. The rules of 'english' and what not!
The school 'fight song' or just 'school song' is a song about your school or mascot that you sing at sporting events for school pride.
Senior 'cut' day, is not an emo/goth thing. It refers to 'cutting class' or 'ditching school', in other words, staying home to goof off with your friends.
I hope that clears it up for my UK readers! LOL
Today is Wednesday! The kids only have one more full day of school and then a half day Friday! Wooohoooo! Then it is full time summer fun!
I took a picture of Hammer today outside by himself. I think I am going to blow it up to put in a frame. He doesn't get school pictures taken since he is home with me.
Here is the picture:
A handsome young man, although, I am quite biased! LOL
be well,
Dawn

The photo of Hammer reminds me of a young Edward Norton -- an actor I've always thought to be handsome. Or maybe Noah Wylie. All your kids are goodlooking. And smart. You did a good job.

Oh there is the young man. I read sometime back that you thought there should be more books written by the moms of kids with Hammer's condition. I agree. I have also thought about other limitations that cause a lot of problems for the person that seemed to be connected to how the brain sees things. That seems to run in our family. I thought my mom was inflicted with it as well as my sister. It was like there was great difficulty in grasping people behavior the same way other people do. My mom could fix anything that was mechanical, but it was like people were too complicated for her, and she never grasped them. She would say totally inappropriate things to them. When she tried to explain them she would get them all wrong, that is, if she ever did focus on them enough to think about them. I don' know much about Asberger's but I think a book by someone who had homeschooled as you have done would be very valuable. Gerry

A handsome young man, indeed. What is that hanging out of his ear? Is it a long earring or is there a tree or something growing behind him? --Cin
