Seraphim Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Congrats Vic! Well done! Isn't it funny also how when you have a child of your own, for most of us, we appreciate our mothers more. I feel my own birthday is really more about thanking my mum than anything to do with me. Thanks SB! That is for sure we appreciate our mothers all the more when we become a parent. Because then we know how hard our mothers had to work. It certainly is a sacrifice of deep love to raise another human being. *********** Well ,today is my son's testing the intellectual and academic. That is an all day event. Another day closer to a definitive answer. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 We are 3/4 through the testing. They said he works very well and is very agreeable and a pleasure. He is working faster than expected. They said, " your son is such a pleasure, most kids are under the table with frustration by now. " Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 My son got offered the chance at a college class! So he will be earning a college credit by the time he is 17! Wow. And he gets a free taxi to and from the programme. A great opportunity for him. Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yay! So happy for you all! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yay! So happy for you all! The class will be about building a portfolio for the program he wants to get into. I am really glad his high school offered him the chance. Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It's a great opportunity! My son got into a class as well (Maths) where he was able to accrue credit points towards university. Ironically, he ended up choosing humanities at uni and career, but that opportunity definitely helped him, especially in developing his confidence and self-esteem. Link to comment

Exactly ,it is a marvelous opportunity!! I am so excited. It is called the dual credit program. So he gets to do high school and college credits at the same time. He's going to be doing a media arts diploma so he can build his portfolio in this college class. And then next fall he heads off to college so he will already have a credit in advance. My degree is in the humanities as well. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 My brother was always late ,later and latest oh my gosh!!!!! And that drives me crazy! Last night he was supposed to arrive at our place at eight when does he arrive? Midnight! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I was thinking about it this morning I'm the only person in our family that did not graduate from high school in Ontario. My mom graduated in Ontario ,my dad's parents graduated in Ontario ,my cousins ,all my aunts and uncles and my brother. I graduated high school in Alberta. I am also the only person in the whole family with a social insurance number from a province other than Ontario. It is also from Alberta. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 I had a really great time with my brother. All I can say right now is that I'm really happy. Contentment. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 My mom is bringing the kids here for me to babysit because R is on nights. It is like a revolving inn this week. And then Thursday I have to drive them home and then turn around and drive back home again so I can be home from work on Friday. And wow an embarrassing situation happened at church tonight. When it came time to kneel for the consecration of the host I accidentally knocked my lecturn with my books and my books went flying onto the floor. And I need those books to sing the songs from. D'OH!!!! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Last night my husband got home at 4:30 in the morning rather than his usual 6:30. So of course it was still dark. I woke up because I had the feeling that somebody was looking at me. And then all I saw was this dark shape in the room and I started screaming. And he was like whoa whoa no no it's me.

Seraphim Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 My mom is coming today with the kids and she staying over tonight too. R is really pissy about it. He said you just have to tell your mom that we are not viable help as we are 3 1/2 hours away. She is just going to have to rely on relief homes through the agency. And now you've lost three days work with all this monkeying around. You just have to learn to tell your mother, no. Ha ha like he has to learn to tell his parents to back off. I didn't say that of course but..... I just thought it's funny I have to learn to tell my mother no but he can't tell his parents to back the eff off when they're picking on people. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 And all this monkeying around of course has me worried about work. Because three Fridays in a row I had to say no to working. R's surgery , little R's testing, and then of course after I already said I was going to my mother's they called me and said oh can you do Monday Tuesday or Monday next week well no no I can't now. And I know I'm only casual on call but it still worries me. And then last Friday they hired another one of their volunteers on the spot like they did with me. So that is kind of worrisome.

Seraphim Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 And my new boss is harder to gauge than the old one. The old one was very sweet and I liked her a lot. The new one seems very strict but she really likes certain people and tends to give them a lot of hours. Link to comment

Seraphim Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 What the heck is wrong with the NFL!!! You can beat your wife and beat your kid and that's okay you can still play ball because all that matters is winning. WTH?! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 On Saturday night when my brother was over he called home to talk to his kids. And of course his kids are not there they're at his ex wife's mother's house. They have never yet been at home when it's her weekend. And all she did was whine and cry at my brother about how she sick and how her life hasn't worked out and how nobody finds her attractive because nobody wants a 44-year-old woman with three kids. He just said," I am sorry about that . I have to go. I have to talk to my kids. Bye." Link to comment

luminousone Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It looks very similar to my older son's handwriting. Same subjects too at that age! Link to comment

Seraphim Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 It is the first day of my son's college course. Link to comment
Fudgie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looks very similar to how my sister writes, very very similar. Actually, my brother writes a bit like that too. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hey Fudgie, yeah writing is very very labourous for him. Is it the same for your siblings? This is my son's writing when he was in grade 6. link removed Link to comment
Fudgie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Writing is extremely laborious for them as well. My sister had accommodations in school that allowed her to type up everything if she had to write any real amount. My brother still struggles to write a lot but thankfully he can just type up everything on a computer. He is also studying math so not much in the way of writing. Your son's handwriting definitely reminds me of theirs, particularly my sister's. Link to comment
