WAY TO GO BABY GIRL!

Well, we got report cards again today....Megan got straight A's once again! For a while there, I really was getting concerned because she had begun to slip a little bit in her math grades that were coming home. They have math drills once a week in class, and she was taking too long to answer questions, therefore not making it to the end of the drill in some cases. Then, after talking about it, she started blurting out anything that came to mind...most of the time being off by one.
Here is an example of our practice drills at home:
Mom shows flash card 8-4=
Megan shouts: "........3!"
Mom: "No, try again"
Megan: "....uh....{counts on her fingers}, OH,4!"
With many conversations like this...it gets frustrating to both her, and me. But hey, at least this is the kind of homework I can actually HELP her with! When she gets to prealgebra, it's over...we're calling tutors. I'm helpless...and Dad has NO patience with her when it comes to homework. So here's hoping that she continues to make straight A's, becomes much more "book smart" than her parents, goes on to college, and majors in something that will provide her with a lucrative paycheck so that her parents will be taken well care of in their elderly years. That's what every parent hopes for, right?
By the way...we celebrated like last time by taking her out to eat to the restaurant of her choice, or, by spending $36 on a meal at Red Robin. Not only is it really too expensive, but it's also completely full of fat! Makes it hard to loose weight when you are given virtually no low fat choices. I did my best, but failed yet again. I've really gotta get on the ball, or I'll be the only one on my team to NOT loose the required $10 pounds for the Scale Back Alabama program. If you haven't heard of it...click HERE for more info...
No pictures from tonight...but I'll take some this weekend.
