Friday Fragments

It's yet another Friday and it's time to grab the frags that are rolling around in my brain and put them into cyber-space and link them up with:

Mommy's Idea
I honestly am having trouble concentrating on what exactly to write... the sleep deprivation is kinda getting to me this week..



Wayne is officially TENURED!!!! It's been 6 years in the making, but he now has official proof that he still has a job - the whole thing is kinda anti-climactic... he jumped through hoops, sweated it out and the end result is a piece of paper with 4 lines of text and a signature... Erik and I did take him out for a celebratory lunch though...  I'd love for you to pop over to his blog - www.waynewsmith.com and leave him a congratulatory comment!

Yesterday, Robyn had the opportunity to sign up for her first round of high school classes... she's chosen French as her study language, and Engineering as her concentration... while we were there we also found out something disappointing about her math credits - she's not getting honors level credits for her current work, which is making them virtually useless for this high school.  She may have to retake Geometry instead of being ahead... we already knew that they weren't accepting her English credit, so this is another blow...

The meeting at the school was at 7:15 last night and because we're a one car family, the whole gang of us picked Wayne up from work, grabbed Chick-Fil-A for dinner and I dropped Wayne and Robyn off to go to the orientation while the boys and I went to Wal-Mart... the down side to this plan was that Erik fell asleep on the way home - his power nap meant that he didn't go to bed until after 2 AM!

You may recall that I mentioned in last week's frags that he has learned to escape his crib... well since he wouldn't settle and kept escaping I couldn't even put my feet up to rest... so he's still sleeping now but my internal clock says I need to be awake... darn internal clock

Liam has (knock on wood) had a good week at school - his new ABA therapy is starting and that means he's getting an extra 450 minutes a week of support - HUGE!!! I'm hoping that we'll see some improvement in the areas they are targeting ...

As for me, I'm still just plodding along, trying to get enough sleep to function and still get everything done... a big hug to my hubby who has made Liam's lunch the last two days because I don't have my head on straight enough to do it myself... luv that man.

Well, Erik is still sleeping and I'm tired enough to try to grab a cat nap, so I'm going to hope that any other fragments in my mind just swirl away and that you have a great weekend!  Please visit the other fragmented bloggers who will probably have much more coherent posts than I...

Engineering - that's great I hope she finds it as rewarding as I did.
Hope you get your sleep time back.

One day you will sleep. But maybe not this year. I hope I am proved wrong on that one. Have good weekend.

Well, at least you know your internal clock is well-tuned. Hope you get a chance for some real sleep!

I <3 Chick Fil A... yes, in all of that above, THAT is what jumped out at me. My students are flabbergasted that I have not, in five years, set foot in a Bojangles and it's absolutely because I cannot drive past a CFA!

CFA is my fave place too... especially with the kids - love their playplaces!
I love CFA and I don't have any young children. They just plain have good food! Congratulations to your husband on the tenure!!!
I've said it before, I simply don't know how you have time to manage all that's going on with your family plus your blogs. So happy that Wayne got his tenure! It's a terrible shame that your daughter isn't getting the credit for all of her hard work. Is it going to hold her back much, trying to catch up to what they want? I hope not.

She's going to try doing the more advanced course and just work hard- worst case, I have to hire a tutor for a few months - I have a friend who tutors in Math, plus Wayne has contacts at the university to find someone if we need it. She grasps concepts in math very quickly and has an analytical mind so I think she'll do fine
So happy your husband got tenured. I totally understand sleep deprivation. Last night I just went to bed at 7:00 pm because I couldn't take it anymore.
