Friday Fragments

Wow - do I feel fragmented this week... I think that it's a combination of grandparent leaving letdown and kids four day weekend along with being sick that just has me moving incredibly slowly this week... luckily, Mrs. 4444 hosts Friday Fragments and I can spend a little time getting down all the strange little thoughts running through my mind so you can see just how out of balance I really am...
Mommy's Idea
The weather has been crazy here... we haven't had very many days of cold and today was so warm I contemplated turning on the AC this afternoon - IN FEBRUARY - I am definitely a believer in a warming trend for this year...

My poor darling hubby is behind on his work, partly because of the immense number of things he is involved in and partly because he had to take time off work this week to nurse me back to health on Monday cause there was no way I was in good enough shape to keep three kids under control all day while feeling as sick as I did.

I think I posted one of the weirdest Facebook statuses ever today - 
Okay friends - this is going to sound a little strange... but I have to do a mystery shop this afternoon at the post office and I need to send a package to someone 50+ miles away but less than 600 miles away... I have a few things put together to send... but no one to send the package to.. who wants it?

I love the way politicians do math - this week I read an article that explained how the SC Governor thinks that she's increasing funding to education but is actually spending 80 million dollars less... and dropping per student spending to levels that are taking education back to the stone age - or at least the 1980's (wasn't that the stone age?)  I am all for creative math but I'm trying to figure out how less equals more... maybe this is the 'new' math I keep hearing about... doesn't add up either way...

I'm still in suspense over another education issue too... Liam's latest IEP review meeting got pushed back to next week from this one... but from what I can gather, the teacher is hopeful and pleased with the results of the study done this month - Liam may qualify for more service... stay tuned!

Am I a strange parent that hopes that when my middle child is evaluated at these things that he puts his worst foot forward?  I know that it's counter-intuitive but I'd really rather he have more service than less... it's the same feeling that I got when he got his diagnosis - a mix of relief and hope... that doors will open and make things better...

Well it's 5 am and Erik has been up three times tonight.. or this morning as it were... so I'm going to sign off, suggest you check out the other fraggers at half passed kissin time and try to catch a few zzz on the couch since Wayne is awake too...

I can't believe the weather we've been having. It's like we're just skipping winter altogether here in NC. Our daffodils came up in January. That has to be a record!

So, I'm curious. Did you get any comments on that FB status update? LOL This is some incredibly strange weather. We've had our AC on for two days running here in GA--in February!
Lets hope you don't get a March blizzard. Glad you are feeling better.

Oh no, I so here you with Erik. I wonder if it's the weather or what, but my little one is getting up several times a night also. Truly a bummer.

I hope you are feeling better!! It's so miserable begin sick as the mama. Yay for daddy staying home to help out!!

Oh you poor things! Sickness takes its toll on everyone when it is mommy who is sick.
It's been hot here too! It's nice until it gets to the point where you need AC.

I love that FB status, it's funny. Did anyone say, "Me!" ?

I'm glad that you are on the mend from your cold. I wonder who got the package...
