BUT, I thought IEP meetings were supposed to be really supportive to the parents and families, not designed to make them feel crummy.
Goo morning! I'm ignoring today's headache and heading out to search the community garage sale thing going on for books.
Good morning everyone! It is garage sale time here in Ames, too! But it was in the 30's overnight, so I think I'll go out later.....
Enjoy the weekend! Stay healthy and well-fed today everyone! We are having an anime sleepover tonight, so I'll be tired tomorrow. lol

Yes, it is garage sale season once again. I have a friend who goes with her adult daughter every Saturday morning and then they have lunch afterward. A nice outing for mother and daughter. Alas, my daughter lives a bit too far to do that. However, next Saturday, she, my sister-in-law, and I are having a garage sale at my mother-in-law's (she has the best location). As both my daughter and sister-in-law live out of town, it will be a nice get-together for all of us. My daughter and her family are even spending the night on Friday. Whoohoo, the grandbaby will at last be here overnight (older granddaughter has been here several times to spend the night and we have such fun). So, Jeannette and Christine, enjoy the garage sales today, and Jeannette, just keep telling yourself that you are a good mother when the anime sleepover is in full swing. LOL!

I just realized that I said "Goo Morning"...haha! So, have your mornings been goo?
Garage sale hunting was not so goo. It's cold and rainy today (and windy!) so a lot of people who were intending to join in the neighborhood sale seem to have skipped it. I was looking for a bookshelf, but no such luck. I did get three books for less than $1.00 so there is my silver lining. I found The Mercy of Thin Air, The Wednesday Letters, and What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day. I have no idea if any of them are good, but it's only a dollar.
Okay, I'm off to be productive somehow. Have a goo afternoon. :)

I didn't want to mention it; I thought maybe your headache had slurred your speech. xp

When I lived in Waterloo, we often went to the local farmers' markets on Saturday, but for some of the rarer fruits and vegetables, like gooseberries, black currants etc. and the freshly baked rolls, if you did not get there by at least 8:30 AM, you were out of luck.
Christine, yes, one more, "goo" catch. Gundula, the farmers' markets you describe sound yummy.
Kathy wrote: "Christine, yes, one more, "goo" catch. Gundula, the farmers' markets you describe sound yummy."I miss them. Waterloo is Mennonite Country, so you get a lot of really yummy homemade treats, like maple syrup, home baking and lots of fruit and vegetables etc. etc. etc.

I love goo!
It certainly is a zoo (I've actually had my pocket picked one time, not unusual supposedly), but really early in the morning, it's not that crowded yet (that is, if you can manage to get there early, even when I lived in Waterloo, we usually did not get there early enough, and the crowds really can make you feel claustrophobic). They do sell great produce, though.
Happy Mother's Day to all you great Moms!
Happy Mother's Day to everyone!
I was supposed to host a family gathering today, but it got cancelled so it's going to be a quiet day of reading. Yay!
Jeannette-How was the sleepover? You deserve a relaxing Mother's Day for sure.
A big Happy Mother's Day to our group mamas, Lee and Lisa!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and grandmothers out there! I hope you all have a beautiful, relaxing day! :)
Happy Mother's Day to every kind of mom (even mom-in-laws)!!
Sleepover is still going, but I got to watch my favorite Japanese rom-com with the girls and they loved it! I will post my mom's day gift in my profile picture section shortly!
Have a great day doing whatever you like best. :)

Happy Mother's Day all you dear mommas! Beautiful flower picture, Hayes. I took my mother-in-law out to eat Friday for Mother's Day, and my daughter is going to cook a meal for me this week. Nobody able to be here with me today, but that's okay. I have cards and calls and a nice, quiet day that I'm going to spoil myself and read. Next weekend we are all getting together.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you! Celebrate your day with your moms, your children, your grandmas....and enjoy! Hayes, what a beautiful picture to share with everyone!
Thanks everyone!
Hope everyone has a great day. We've had a quiet day at home, reading and puttering, which is just the kind of Sunday I love.

Happy Mother's Day to each and every one of you!! My son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren took me out for brunch today where I also consumed a large amount of chocolate after eating pizza and am feeling just a little sluggish right now - but happy. It is such a beautiful day here in Idaho (finally) that I will be taking a long walk later. Enjoy the day and pamper yourself! P.S. Lee and Gundula - Is that Waterloo, Canada?
Mod
Maude, yes we are talking about a farmers market in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. :-)
Have you been there?
Lovely picture, Laura! Is that Cassatt?
I have never been to Waterloo, only Vancouver, which I really liked. But I love the name, Waterloo; it always makes me think of Waterloo Station, and Napoleon. I would love to see more of Canada in the future.
Good Morning Everyone! I hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday.
And now back to the usual grind! And another overcast day... this is getting really old! At least yesterday was bright and sunny.

Good morning! It's cold and rainy here; the central heat is running! Have a good Monday! :)
Good morning to both of you and everyone! :)
Monday, ugh. That about sums it up for me.

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day! For me, today will be spent studying for my last exam tomorrow morning. Then, I can finally go home tomorrow!
It will be so nice to catch up on my reading and to get a chance to chat with you all! :)
Break a pencil, Jess! I don't envy you at all, but at least it's the last one!
What's first up on TBR?

You, teasing me? Well, that would be a first? *grinz*

I second that "uhg," Christine. All weekend, I kept saying that on Monday I would get some stuff done around here, but I was going to take it easy on the weekend. Guess what's here and who's not ready to do anything?
OK, I'm going to try to post my first picture ever on Goodreads. I'm using Photbucket. Bear with me. I had wanted to do this posting yesterday. It is a picture of my mother and me when I was little (of course.)
My kids have to have their school work completed by next Thursday, and I am suddenly feeling overwhelmed. That along with these transition things for Benjamin are giving me that manic monday thing.

Hooray! I love the dress your mom is wearing. I can't read the date on the photo, but you and I must be close in age -- both hailing from a time when photos were black and white. :)

Here's a better theme for all of us:
"Girls just wanna have fun....."

The date says June or Jun 60, so I guess I was 6 years old, since I was born in '54. Moms still wore mostly dresses then.
