i'm so lonely.

sooo, its another quiet day on the blog front huh.
ok, i've got a cute joke to share:
A little boy was doing his math homework:

He said to himself, "Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine...." His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?" The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom." "And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked. "Yes," he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you teaching my son in math?"

The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition."

The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that

son of a bitch is four?"

After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them

was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four."

so, i had parent teacher conferences today. and i talked to the school counseler- whom i am NOT impressed with. she is everything i ever disliked about teachers (i had a lot of great teachers, like a lot of teachers i do, but the ones i didnt like..) she was so, how did i even begin. we went in because my daughter is having a tough time adjusting to the 3rd grade and we thought she could help. i made an apponitment with her a few days ago. well we walked in and she met with us in the meeting room in the office she sat down and began talking to my daughter-good. but every problem my daughter mentioned she seemed to react like wll thats not a big deal, do you remeber how i told you to do this in class. another problem- well you need to fdo this this and this. i'll put you in a group of other kids. i can see you for 4 weeks but no longer i have to rotate groups. i dont think she was even listening to what my daughter and i were say, well not to any longer than the first 10 seconds, then she decided the solution and told her. she didnt listen. she just told us the text book, official school ditrict answer. i dont remember my elementary counslor like that. she kept rushing us. just kept saying well i'll put her in a group. turns out she WAS rushing us, she had to get outside to do traffic duty. why did she make and appointment with us then. we talked to her for just 5 min. i expected at least 20min. and she didnt listen to my daughter. ok, some teachers and other school staff are like that but i expecyed more out of the counsler. bummer.
but conferences went grade. turns out my daughter is just being hard on herself. i thought she wasnt doing well in school at all, she feels like she doesnt know what they are doing but she is preforming right at grade level. the teachers say she is great, very smart. it was a good conference. they are some tough teachers this year. and not as nurturing as she was used to.
i feel blah today. it has been a good day but i'm on my period. i am sure that is why i have such a lack of energy. and i feel hungry all the time. i cant stand the medical/insurance care in texas! we need to move, or never ever get sick. but i doubt the latter could happen. we went to get the xray today, first we got all pilled out of the car (all 3 kids) and up the second story to where i was told to go. to find a lady who said we dont do xrays here any more you have to go across to the hospital. and ask for radiology. ok, i am not loading up all 3 kids to drive across a busy street and unload again so across the street we go. find our way through the hospital maze to radiology. i need your id and proof of insurance. why, here are the orders the doctor gave(signed paper saying the xray to be done)(dr said just go get the xray there just in case to make sure there is not a hairline fracture) turns out this is a seperate billing on my insurance all together and a seperate copay again. (i know physical therapy tomorrow is another copay) i call the dr. is this necessary? i dont want to waist my time and effort, so you can bill my insurance again, and i have to pay $50 just in case! i'm already going to phy therapy tomorrow! well, if you want you can just do the therapy and then if it still bothers her we can do the xray. YES I WANT!
ugh, what is with all the unneccesary medical work here. it is everywhere. and they like to just keep taking more and more copays and bill your ins more and more. i really dislike it. we have experienced it again and again here in texas. teaxas needs a big medical change. yeah, Bush, this is what happens when he's governor, yeah big business. we need reform. but me, i need to move. i liked health care in phoenix. well, nothing is perfect.
off to gym.
