OK. Things are better now, even if I did get Katie to piano fifteen minutes late.

Karl is finishing up work now. And doing a good job. There've been a few tears, but once he starts, he does just fine. Does get distracted easily by cats, sisters, some thought in his head, but...he finished one workbook, did work on his California project, and now is on a second book that has to be finished by Monday. And there's a third book. And she's going to reassemble the math he didn't do *bless her*.

I need to be far more strict with him over getting things done on time. Bedtimes to be observed. Schedules for the afternoons so time doesn't just frit away.

*deep breath*

Thank god for Marion, poor thing, had to listen to me cry on IM, but that's why I love her so.

I really use the word "just" too many times....gah...

Thanks for all the advice, friends. Roy's convinced it's behavioral and not medical -- that doesn't mean I won't be watching carefully, though. If behavior modification helps, then great, but I'm not ruling out something else going on.

Roy did remind me that I've been working a LOT more lately and so has he, so it may only be that Karl needs more attention from us. Although I'm not sure how that translates to school...we're not there, anyway!

Summer should be interesting.

Got a new copy of Genre in the mail. I had emailed and canceled receiving these issues, but I got this one...and am I glad I did! Men in underwear...hot hot hot hot hot....gahh....

Read this article.

Or, just the last two. *G*

Go on. Read it.

I'm in Microsoft Word. How do I get an accent mark for the 'e' in Jose? Will it do it in any font?
