Breaking Ground

Well my dear husband was able to get the post holes dug for the new fence that we are installing with part of our "economic stimulus" money... at least on the East side of the house. We were also able to get the posts up in the holes and braced but no cement yet. I'm hoping Friday will be a good day for that. Unfortunately because we did get them up and braced, the red neck fence had to come down and I didn't get pictures. So for now the dogs have to stay in the house. Zeke by himself isn't too bad but Zoe and he together are a storm of fur and slobber and they are shedding.

The kids have just 7 days of school left (counting today) . Actually that would be 6 and 1/2 because the last day isn't a full day. We've had some issues with J's grades. He was telling us that he was doing his homework in Algebra, when in reality he wasn't. We get grade updates everyday and the algebra teacher just put down that he was passing not what his actual grade was. She did this because last term we got upset because it kept showing as an F because she wouldn't take the time to enter in his scores. So, basically the same thing has happened this term, because she wouldn't put the scores into Power School so we could see what he was doing. We trusted J. to tell us the truth and trusted the teacher to let us know if something was up. I'm kind of ticked that she didn't send an email to us telling us that he hadn't been handing in assignments or even a progress report. Maybe she did and J. just didn't give it to us. I'll have to check into that. Needless to say J. got in trouble and was VERY unhappy about that. He hates being in trouble and I hope he learned something from that.

We are going to (hopefully) go camping the day that school gets out. Just an overnighter but the kids are still looking forward to it. We need to have the yard fenced by then so that we can leave the dogs.

That's what's been going on around here.
