Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
the constant repetition of "advanced maternal age"
One of the things I loved about my OB was that I never heard this phrase. Sure some things were recommended because of my age, but it was never phrased as if my age was a problem. In fact, after Isaac was born he asked me if was thinking about having a third. When I answered, "I'm 40," his response was, "plenty of women have children in their 40s."
We are going to ask about what they actually do in the gifted program. If he ends up in the gifted program his little ego is going to go from giant to epic.
If he's getting enough challenge from his regular classes it shouldn't hurt to put off the gifted program for a while. By high school (and possibly middle school) that one day a week helps emotionally as much as intellectually.
Discovery launch was scrubbed for today.
Damnit, I need to get some work done today. My head is not here.
Yes another episode in 'As the Palin Turns'.
And yet she's the hero of the "family values" crowd.
Still nervous.
It's good to be nervous! It's a very big deal! But it's also good to trust your instincts. But, remember, you don't have to rush.
Those are my advices to you!
I don't know that neighborhood at all! I'll have to do some research.
Yeah, I didn't start G&T till I moved to a slightly bigger town in the 5th grade.
I went to a TIIIIIIINNNNYYYYY country school previously, where it was like hell on hick parade. Then to "the city" where all of a sudden I was the hick, albeit one with a college-level reading and vocab ability. And no socialization skills with kids. Adults loved me. Kids hated me, and thought my haircut was funny.
Le sigh.
Wait, the girl's name is "Mercede"????
I liked the house you showed us last night, sara-- is that the one that you are looking at still? With the lavendar bathroom?
I was looking at houses online and came across this (which may in fact be closer to Amy than to me)-- which looks fine on the outside, but OMG someone went crazy on the inside (just look!)
Erin, you were drinking Gin & Tonics in the 5th grade?
They didn't have honors program or gifted classes until we got to junior high (sixth grade), but my elementary schoolteachers did a good job of keeping me engaged in class by giving me the next level schoolbook or getting me to compete with myself with SRA cards (see how high I could get my reading level). Also, my reading teachers would let me head over to the school library on a regular basis during class so I could get something else to read.
It's one just like it, Sophia. Complete with the purple tub. Though the sink is a 50s vintage peach(?!) Toilet fairly recent. One of the tile soapdishes is broken, and OMG, the medicine cabinet must go. The fixtures on the tub are very much vintage, which is a little nervewracking.
