It's been a rather busy week. Meelie started her testing on Friday, and she has been recommended for some tutoring. It's hard for me to understand because she got straight A's (and E's) on her report card, yet again (she's done this for the whole year so far). Apparently, she aces tests but has problems with the in class work, in that she makes alot of mistakes, and has to ask for alot of help. I'm all for helping her where I can because if we can't nip this one in the bud, she's going to have trouble next year as things get progressively harder. I really like her teacher. She takes the bull by the horns, and goes after what she feels her students need. So, I'm going with her on this one.

She'll finish up the other testing in a couple of weeks. It's so frustrating because these things take forever to get done. Basically, she has problems taking the directions she gets, and understanding them. Again, she needs too much in the way of clarification and that will hurt her later on. We'll just have to see if she qualifies.

Chickie has been slammed with homework since we got back from the holiday season. She's got a social/science fair project as well as another science project due, both this month. Plus, her homework load has nearly tripled. She's handling it well though and has been much more attentive to the things she needs to get done. It's a blessing in disguise because Meelie has decided to fight me tooth and nail on doing her homework. Is it any wonder I get tired?

It will work out I know, but in the mean time I have to try to keep myself from getting too stressed out. I need to watch that I don't spread myself too thin. My stomach is showing the signs so I need to get that under control. I know, this too shall pass or if it doesn't kill me it will make me stronger.

I'm learning, and that's what counts. I am one person and I cannot conquer Rome in one day, no matter how much I would like to.
