Just a quick post to apologize for the lack of punctuation and capitalization in the comments I’ve been leaving on peoples blogs. Due to the amazing pain in my back for the last few days, I’ve been mostly reading blogs by standing at the computer for a few minutes at a time.. I’m not able to sit. If I do manage to sit down.. It takes about 15 minutes to manuver myself back into a standing position. I’m not having a good time. Right now I’m sitting on a stool at the desk.. so we’ll see if its ANY easier to get myself back to standing.
My husband left early this morning for business in Tampa, Florida for the next 4 days.. leaving me here with munchkin to fend for ourselves. Fortunately he left us some money for pizza delivery.. which I’ll be taking advantage of tonight! The whole “not being able to sit” thing has pretty much ruined any chances of me plopping myself in front of the sofa with a movie and spending all weekend knitting..
In an attempt to further throw a wrench into my works, I have to go to a parent-teacher conference tomorrow at Munchkins school during the day. They want me to come in and observe my son at “skill centers” to see the difference between his work and the other childrens. The point the teacher is ultimately trying to get at is that my son is not ready to go on to grade 1 next year and will probably have to ‘repeat’ kindergarten… and I’m cool with that. I think she’s trying to come up with a way to ‘break this’ to me.. so that I’m not disappointed. I knew going into this year that because I chose to keep my son home with me instead of putting him in daycare that he would be behind the other children.. not to mention that he is close to a full year younger than most of the kids in the class (July birthday) and isn’t used to this school thing. I’m not going to hang my head in shame or anything because my son isn’t “ready” to go on to the next grade.
