Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I fear it is going to make adjusting for school a nightmare Oh Darcy, I hate to hear that since he's so close to starting school. I talked to all the time about school and how fun it would be. It will take time for him to adjust, believe me. I'd just try to make it be as fun as possible. Let him go pick out things he'll need for school etc... is just so worn out after having to be there all day long. She can't even eat supper she's so sleepy. They work them from the time they get there until they leave. No naps and very little play time. I was concerned when she came home the other day. She was crying and said her head hurt. I asked her how she liked school and she said not so much, that she has to stay there too long. (sigh) ~**~It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I know you didn't ask me , but Sawyer starts September 2nd. I have mixed feelings about it. Normally, I would very much dread it. However, with this busy summer, I am looking forward to slowing down and maybe some normalcy to our routine. However, Sawyer has been horrible lately about being alone and me leaving and ya-da ya-da. I don't know what he's going through, but he's got some phobia about being left alone.

I wasn't sure when you said she started. ~**~ It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Ugh.. she so sounds like my neice. She hates school and says it's just too long, and I soooo agree! They expect way too much out of children nowadays. My mom is always bugging me to homeschool. I sooo support homeschoolers!! Sawyer was in preschool last year and liked it once he got adjusted, but it was a horrible adjustment for him. I knew it was going to be hard and that he would cry. However, I was surprised that he was the ONLY child who did. Grr... It's upsetting because I'm a firm believer in attachment parenting, and we're very close. Everything I have read it says it's suppose to make them more independent. Not in the case of school-starting!! However, I am home with him all of the time, and I think most kids are used to being at the sitter nowadays so I suppose that makes a difference too. Anyway, I've talked about school to him a bit here and there and he replies " I think I changed my mind, and don't like school anymore " . Great. He'll be going into first grade for his reading too. That may make it a bit more scarier on him as well. Oh well, what can you do. I just pray it's nothing like last year was. That was horrible. Poor guy had several days of sobbing :(Darcy I fear it is going to make adjusting for school a nightmare Oh Darcy, I hate to hear that since he's so close to starting school.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi, This morning I did 4DS Kickbox legs & calves. I did the kickbox last night so I'm finishing this workout this morning with the legs. I added in the calve work also. I got a fairly good night of rest. I took a sleeping pill and managed about 5 straight hours of good sleep. I could tell because I felt better when I got up. My throat still hurts and still got the runny nose going on, but as far as the fatigue I feel better. Here's how it went. Round #1 Warmup Squats BB 30 Squats Heels Raised BB 35 Deadlifts on Step DB 20 Round #2 Plie Squats on Step DB 30 Leg Press 14" DB 20 Round #3 Low Plane Lunges with 4" Step 12 Leg Press/Outer Thigh Lift 10" 12 (2 lb ankle weights) Round #4 Outer Thigh with Band Green band ( I just don't feel these)Squats BB 40 Calves With the calves I did each exercise twice through ( I was fried by the end) I really like this leg workout, but I have to admit I find it a lot easier then her other leg workouts. I don't know if I need to add more weight or what, but I do really enjoy all the exercises I just don't get that major burn like I do with her other stuff. Anyone else feel this way? After the calves I decided I'd do some pushups. I'm not sore from yesterdays chest work so I figured I'd just go down and see how many I could do. I'm SO proud to say I knocked out 30 on my toes. I was so happy. SO happy in fact that I forgot to do the core work I was supposed to do after the calves lol Oh well, I'll get them in sometime before the week is over. Off to head to school and then walk the dogs. Have a great day. ~**~(who's praying the allergies let up today!)It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
