With the kiddo home, not much. I do have to take the Halloween stuff down though. Should be fun! ;)

It's an absolutely gorgeous, sunny day here. Yesterday was like this too, and my route while I was out and about took me along the river...it looked so pretty. In one spot by a little lagoon there must have been 50 Canada geese.

Last night did not end on a good note, as Travis was having some trouble with his math homework and gave me some MAJOR attitude. I'm not tolerating that kind of disrespect so we had a big blow-up. Hopefully we won't have a repeat of that any time soon! He seems to be struggling with math a bit this year and I'm not really sure why. He has several times said that the teacher doesn't explain things in class, then just gives them homework and he doesn't know what's going on. I find that a little hard to believe. I am wondering if Travis is paying attention in class, and I think I will have to email the teacher to get his take on things.

On a happier note, he found out that he will have the part of a soldier in the Christmas chorus program. He's very pleased. :-)

No obligations this evening, yay! I need to clean the house today and then I'm making a pot of loaded potato soup for dinner.

It's a constant battle with Matt and homework and attitude. His disabilities make it worse because he doesn't 'get' why he can't talk like he wants to talk (think no internal filter). Spelling is our worst subject to deal with. Math is his strong point thus far. But spelling, I cringe thinking about it, so I totally feel you!

How cool about the chorus!

Wanna come clean my house? Thanksgiving (as you noticed yesterday, lol) is only 22 nights away. So far, it's definitely just B, M & I, my sister and the baby, and her husband if he doesn't have to work the parade (he's a NYC cop) and my mom. We invited my other sister and her boyfriend and then said that his mom (who is divorced) can absolutely come too. We don't have a big family, so it's kind of exciting to think that extra people are coming. But on the other hand, I'm now panicking over what to make, aside from the turkey of course, lol. So, I do need help cleaning. LOL I've already been picking apart various things in the house that I know I want fixed/repaired by that time. And I know I'll be the one who ends up doing it. :(

Is he home sick, Erin? I only do "Fall" decorations (with the exception of one ghost on my porch) so they can stay up through Halloween AND Thanksgiving. I should go grab that ghost, though. ;-)
