Long Week; IEP/504 Fiasco; Random Funnies: Random Tuesday Thoughts

Hello Tuesday… it is Tuesday, right? Last week was a lonnnng week – normally I work from home part time, but last week I actually logged 40 hours for the week. Which calculates to about 16 hours a day when you throw in all the ‘mom’ stuff outside of the ‘work’ stuff – lunches, dinners,…

Working too much; School trouble; Random Funnies: Random Tuesday Thoughts

Wait… It’s October already? Man, I’m working way too much, because the days and weeks and months are flying by, but I’m neglecting my blog, and I haven’t started getting out the fall decorations yet, which I usually have done by now, and I have so much I need to do, but no time to…

Today marks the midpoint of September – so far it’s been a surreal year, and I for one will be happy to see it exit stage right. Little Dude has been having issues already the first week of school – their Zoom classrooms were somehow hacked (just the middle school – neither the elementary school…

First Day of School and Random Funnies: Random Tuesday Thoughts

Today is the first day of school for Little Dude – all remote learning for now, though. The hubby set up a perfect little ‘no distraction’ area for him in his getting-nicer-by-the year Man Cave in our detached garage, so here’s to kicking off a successful school year! I’m hoping that at the very minimum…

Summer Break Ending, Back To School Looming – and Random Funnies: Random Tuesday Thoughts

First Tuesday of September – it’s another one of those years that’s been going by at lightning speed, and yet, not. You know what I mean. This suspended animation business with covid lurking about has really gotten old. While I’m really looking forward to it finally getting under control, I wonder what the ‘new normal’…
