Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 AmyA, It does sound like maybe with going to school and all, she is getting tired. I mean, she wasn't use to going and it is a long day for her when she goes. I hope cutting back helps some. off topic Well, today we finally decided to do it. is now down to going to school only 3 days a week. I talked to about how I think her behavior problems started when she started school and he agreed. So we're hoping that the cut-back will help with that. In case I haven't mentioned, she just doesn't want to listen to us anymore and fights when we push back. Trying to get her to clean her room, brush her teeth, get ready for her bath and even get ready for school is extremely hard. These are things that I never really had a lot of trouble with before... I'm not saying she was perfect and always did it right away... I just didn't have to fight every day for the same things over and over. Anyway... since she's usually better for us on weekends I am thinking that she is just getting too worn out at school and that might be what is causing the problems at home. Even though she never takes naps, she usually winds down and just relaxes and plays quietly during the hours while she's now in school. So, we're hoping that this is going to help with things. Of course, they always say she's such an angel at school... Doesn't that figure?! LOL Actually they said today was not such a great day for her and we're not really sure why. Starlet (one of the teachers) said was just real quiet and withdrawn for most of the day. We told her that starting this week she only goes to school three days so at first I was thinking maybe that was it... but then I thought maybe it's something else. We're working on getting her to tie her shoes and she says she'll do it when she's a big sister... so I told her she better hurry up and learn bc she'll be a big sister soon. So I'm not sure if it's being told that she's going to school less or that the baby will be here soon... or both... that upset her. And she won't tell us... Also, the poor thing was crying when we picked her up. A wasp flew by her legs and she couldn't get away from it fast enough (for her anyway) so they had to pick her up and move her away from the toy it was flying by. Luckily the wasp didn't sting her, but it did scare her pretty badly. Anyway... ok... so I'm rambling here. I think I'll just go now. Later!!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Jo-ann, I too think that would be a great assignment too. I wish the kids in my religion class all went to the same school and knew each other so that I could do that with them too. I hope your daughter's teacher does it.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I have tried NOT to judge her husband, since he just " seems " guilty (Judge not, lest ye be judged). It just seems such a coincidence that they found she and the baby near where was supposed to have gone fishing. Wonder if he could have been framed? but by whom? and why? It is such a tragedy. May God Bless their souls. She wasn't due until Feb. so that brings to mind many other questions such as how long after her abduction was she killed? after she gave birth? I haven't heard any details except for what The Today Show has mentioned. I'm sure those of you on the West Coast are seeing much more televised coverage of it. Her murderer will have to face judgement someday and something tells me that he will have to make a U-turn when he gets to the Pearly Gates.
