He's trying hard to turn himself around, and I don't like the teacher telling him he can't.

I hope the teacher can hear that.

I actually heard counseling on how to deal with that situation when I was in High School. It involved a bit of "Oh! Now I get it" performance on the student's part to get the teacher to reconsider his/her bias.

But it was reportedly an effective method for turning things around.

Betsy, that stinks. When I was growing up we had band at school and music lessons elsewhere. (We "got" to pick one instrument at the music studio, and a different instrument for school.) Our studio had private lessons, and part of that fee also went towards participation in various ensemble groups. Maybe there's an option like that for you? Even if you can sweet-talk the teacher into actually helping, an outside group might be useful.

I have to stop looking at that antique dress website because I want things and I can't afford them. Should I ever get married I so want this. I'm pretty sure it would even fit! There were flapper dresses too! (Although the one I would want is sold, alas.)

Hopefully all those facing life changes (divorce, job changes, daycare, etc) can get through them somewhat smoothly. {{}} to you all.

Body seems little worse for wear one day after my tumble down the stairs. I have a few mild aches, and I'm tired, but nothing glaring.

Huh.

We'll see how long that lasts.

WOO!

Sweet potatoes appear to be a go. Cross all digits for the next few days that there are no unearthly ass reactions to said orange goodness.
