Do You Live In A Hurricane Area?

Well folks in less than 2 wks this hurricane season will kick off! And for us living in South Louisiana it is a time we tend to dread! Last years season brought us 2 memoriable storms and we can only hope this year we will be spared.

For anyone living in the gulf region or eastern seaboard this is something that you have to deal with - but wouldn't it be nice for one season for all the storms to just stay out in the water and not come to land! I know wishful thinking....

Well this was a short note but has been on my mind- and can't turn the local news on without a segment on getting ready for this season- so thought I would share with all of you.

Best of luck in all your lives.....

State Education Tests

Well it is that time of year again- state mandated education test scores are coming in! Your children are quizzed and classes are geared towards one goal- passing the tests!

My youngest son is a fourth grader this year and therefore in line to take the LEAP test. Suffering from ADHD and dyslexia, he was eligible for small group testing and modifications in the form of extra time and help reading directions. Seeing how he struggles daily in class to keep up with the processing of written and oral assignments, we had pretty much steeled ourselves that he would be going to summer school and retaking the LEAP test. But low and behold, in the mail comes the most wonderous letter informing us that he did indeed pass! Great news you think. But on the other hand you have to wonder, what do those tests really measure?

Well now only have one more to wait on- my oldest son who is in 8th grade. Not really worried about his scores. He has been in the accelerated classes for 4 years now. Of course, you never know! He could have had a bad day and messed it up- but whatever happens- I know that both my boys are winners and are doing the best they can do- no matter what a mandated test says!

Just my little 2 cents!

Been Awhile!

My how time flies when you are having fun! Been working on a new project which has taken me from writing in my blog- but now things are settling down so will get back to writing on a regular basis! :)

My new project- well as you know I am a work at home mom, and I am a webaholic! I love cruising around and reading on wahm sites.
