Request for time off!
Permalink  

Well this is Spring break and the kids are gone! YEAH! I am threatening the boy to shadow him in school on Friday if he does not provide me proof that he is 100% caught up in every subject. Of course I really want a day off to myself- maybe catch a movie or something fun. I have an early morning well kid check up to take E to at 8:45 on Friday.


 


So long story short- I am planning on being off all day Friday!

Well, since you asked and warned in advance we will have to see if Molly or JR approves. I feel confident that it will happen. Besides, you usually stop in and see us when you are at home any way.

Approved only if you stop in and say hi at least once.

Thank you ma'am and wild horses could not drag me away.


 


However, if the boy does not get his act together, I will have to try to get on during his typing class!

Hey Ruby,


I'm with you on the Kid's homework patrol.  I never knew what was going on last year! This year our school is subscribing to an online service www.renweb.com.  If your school doesn't have it yet, BEG!!!  It's awesome.  You can see your child's grades as soon as they're posted, It lists tardies, absenses, and homework schedule for the week.  Each teacher's e-mail address is right there to click on.  It's AWESOME!!


Of course, I always look at it here at work so I can't throttle my child in the heat of the moment.  I have to remember to do it when I get in from work!

They use echaulk, but not everyone does. And none of them update daily. The teachers have said it is not user friendly at all.


If he could learn to write stuff down when they tell him or look on the board and write the assignment, we would be good. But he is ANTI me!

I keep moaning to friends about my child's lack of organization and drive.  They keep telling me to back off and let her exert her own independence and let HER be responsible for sinking or swimming.  I just can't stand to sit and watch it though.

My last post went before I finished my PS:


PS:  My kids teachers aren't up to the minute either.  That part IS frustrating.

TG- it is nice to see someone understands! He is sinking and I am throwing the life raft out there over and over. Others may let him fail, but as a mother I feel it is my job to show him the right way. There is only so much I can do, but I can't sit back and do nothing.

I need to request this Friday (March 10th) off so I can pick up my daughter in Indy to start her spring break. 


Any objections?  If so, please let me know on Monday.......

As long as we are asking for days off, I would like next Friday - March 17th - off. It is Shamrock day and I am hoping to drink the night away.

Susan- Approved.

Fuzzy, why do you need all day off to drink that night?

I think Fuzzy has the right idea!  Take the day off to start the holiday right - start drinking at 12:01 a.m.


P.S. Thank you for the approval Molly!

Uh, we try to start at noon on St. Patrick's Day. It is a mental preparation thing too. Actually, it may be later in the day because the doctors have to work but finish up early and then will have to go home and sleep. There is travel time involved too. Honestly, I don't know how much green beer I could drink.

Well, okay then, but you at least have to stop by and say hi to us.

He is not leaving me a choice. I threatened him last Monday to do this. BUT I NEVER thought he would let it come to this. But I HAVE to follow through- so he is playing chicken and HE HAS TO LOSE

Molly - of course I will. You just need to sleep in if you are going to be a dirty stay out all night.


Ruby - have a nice time. Now that should embarrass him. He probably doesn't think you will actually follow through.
