It has been a nice weekend I suppose, I got nothing done that was on my to do list...which seems to be the growing trend around here. Friday morning Claud got a 3 point with his bow, which is great because he had been starting to get real depressed that he had gotten nothing yet. I went out hunting with him yesterday...mainly for my chance to scout before season starts...but with the weather the way it was the only thing we saw was a doe and 2 little ones that we kicked up while walking to our blind.
See this weekend is the opening of deer season, it is also the very first time that I will be going hunting all by myself...I have always sat with Claud or at the very least near him. To be honest I am not sure I want to get anything, simply because I will not have Claud there to share in the excitement if I do.
Right now I am just checking in here and having my coffee before I head off to class. I suppose all the work that didn't get done this weekend will be getting done this week, so I will be pretty busy. Everyone have a nice week!

The Report Cards Are In....
I got both of my little angels report cards yesterday~ Dillion had an excellent marks he got all M's (which is like what the S's used to be) They mean Meeting Grade Level Epectations...so he was all good on all of the things he has been taught, with a comment saying he is a joy to have in class and he is a good friend to everyone!
On to CJ, who did not have all M's like in the years past. As far as the academic aspect goes he is right on target...it is the social skills and study skills that he is lacking in. He hasn't been doing his homework, which I thought for sure was going to fall on me, but suprisingly his teacher agreed 100% that it was his responsibilty and he is well aware of how to do the homework and that he has it to do. I am planning to try a little harder to say "hey nothing else is going to happen in this house until homework is done" everyday. But I have to be honest I can't spend hours reminding him over and over...I have my own homework and two other kids and a house to tend to. I do want him to learn better habits now though because I know he has the potential to do great!
So anyway it wasn't too bad all in all.
Today they have the day off of school, and I think we are just going to hang around here I have a lot of things that I need to work on. Claud is leaving in a week for deer camp and he may need some clean clothes to wear while he is gone.
Have a great weekend

What is this funny letter???
So two of my grades for the 5 week sessions I was taking are in: one is an A- the other is an A...yeah for me!!! I joked with my Dad that they must have forgotten to type the rest of my name in those spaces (A)manda....lol.
Tomorrow I go to conferences for CJ, I mentioned it tonight and he sighed and said "I know" this was not a real promising response, so I am hoping it was just a normal reaction and not a sign that he is doing poorly in school. Of course it will probably be like last year and it isn't him at all, but me instead. I forget a lot of things, like reminding him to do his homework...actually making him do his homework and also to send his snack with him. I try to remember but with my own homework and trying to run a household and bills and kids and dogs and whatever else may pop up sometimes I forget to tell him! (And yes I feel like the worst parent ever!)
Dillion on the other hand did not need a conference so I can only assume he is doing well!
Savannah is turning into a drama queen to the worst extent! She is always "sick" and always needing to be babied. The only thing I can think of that is causing this is the fact that I am in school now and she is with a sitter 4 days a week instead of with me all week 24/7
Friday is a day off for the boys which I am sort of looking forward to, although I really wish that more of the neighbor kids went to WPA because they get so bored on days off with nobody to play with them.
I plan to clean and catch up on Friday...just like I do every Friday it seems like.
Well I hope you all have a good week and weekend in case I don't get back here before then!
****10 days left until opening day********
