Friday Fragments...

So I'm linking up with Mrs.4444 over at Half Past Kissing Time with Friday Fragments.  But honestly, I'm not sure how fragmented this will be, because I'm a bit anal retentive and have a bit of CDO (it's OCD, but all the letters are in the right order, mkay?) 

Anyhoo.... Here we go!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, it seems that after I had Sunday off, was out sick on Monday, due to a schedule conflict didn't work on Wednesday, and didn't work on Friday, my shoulder is about back to normal.  Since it also seems that I hold all my stress in my shoulders,  combining this with continual rotate cuff strain, it's a wonder I had any use of my arm at all.  The doctor prescribed more muscle relaxers and a weekly massage for 8 weeks.  But we're calling it physical therapy, shhhh.

She also allowed me to add some refined sugar back into the diet to avoid my stabbing someone and winding up on the news total breakdown binging.  I can have one Rollo, just not the whole bag. One cup of ice cream, not the entire bowl.  Yeah, you get the picture.  Even with the binging, I am down another pound (Yeah!) and combined with the metaphormin, I will be ready for swimsuit season healthier in no time.

I had perhaps the best IEP meeting for Youngest this morning.  His teacher is no seeing any evidence of the child depicted in the previous year's evaluation, as well as seeing great strides in his classroom temperament.  Not to worry, I loudly mentioned that all last year I said that the bulk of the issue was the classroom placement, and that I was told, "No.  It has to be something going on at home" 

Score : Mom 1, Not-the-Moms 0. 

In working on his writing, we are entertaining the use of a blog.  A private blog, accessible only to his teacher and myself, where he could write his stories for class and also access them in the classroom for all his assignments.  If it goes well, he could use it for his long composition for MCAS (The state mandated testing).  Needless to say, he is a bit interested especially since this "computer time" will replace his homework time.  It's up and running, we'll see how it goes.

Still haven't heard from the roofer, but I have been eyeing all the things we can do to the sun room when the money comes in.  Funny, as I was looking at the wall, I noticed more water stains on the baseboards.  After telling Tony about the money and then pointing out the new water damage, he replied "I don't see it, all I see is Disney World."

*sigh*

I must say it is a bit frustrating because it will be unseasonably warm this week and I'd like to get the insulation done.  But, if the roof's still leaking, there's no point.  I'd also like to rip out the wet drywall, but again no point. 

*double sigh*

We're all still fighting the germs here, winter's definitely setting in and I'll be dragging out the winter coats.

Just in time for the 70 degree weather we're promised this week.

Goals for the weekend include finishing sealing the driveway, and successful execution of the beast.

No worries, there's a blog post in there somewhere.
