It's hard to believe garbage day has come 'round again already. Seems like just yesterday I was posting about it. Got my bins out early this time. Oh, the things that make me happy!
I cashed in some silver today. The well was running dry. My daughter had been complaining of headaches and blurry vision. We'd gone to the opthamologist just to make sure there were no major issues with her eyes. Her eyes are healthy, she's just nearsighted. $600 for the visit and glasses!
It was also time again to pay for her dance lessons, and to pay for the priveledge of being in the Nutcracker. Another $400. Ka-CHINGGG! At least I caught a break at the gas station.
The assistant principle called my daughter into his office again to talk about absences. You're only allowed so many per term. (The school loses money you know). He was so nice to her and told her what a good student she was, and how smart. Her scores are in the top 10% of the state!
He told her she could do anything she wants in life. He also asked if he needed to call mom about the absences. She told him "NO. My mom doesn't need the 'bad parent' lecture. It's not her fault that I'm absent a lot". He didn't call. Thank you daughter!
If she wasn't such a good student, responding as she did, I'm sure they would be all over me about it. Not having to answer to anyone was one of the many blissful priveleges of home schooling, one I cringe at having to give up. It's hard to go back to all the rules imposed on students (and parents), especially limiting how often you're allowed to be sick! My daughter, bless her heart, cheerfully rolls with it.
I'm sure I would do well to follow her example.
