Wireless, Smireless

I hooked up our new wireless computer router today...took me hours! Mind you, I had Kathy here and we talked for a long time...then we went out and grabbed some subs to bring back here for lunch and then we talked for a long time. Somehow, hours flew by before I could finally get the wireless working. Unfortunately, it's not working smoothly. Not sure why and not sure I care yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll call Linksys and get some help.

Jake had another good day at school but he ended up doing homework for over two hours! Between Nicole and I, we kept him pretty much on task too. I wrote a note to the teacher requesting clarification...is he not completing work at school? 68 math questions plus a page of English, seems like too much to me. I don't want him doing more than an hour of homework a day plus reading. I'll let you know what her response is.

Nicole called me from her Physics class. The teacher was insisting it was her birthday, asked her to call me to listen to the class sing her "Happy Birthday" - it was hysterical! Ended up that some paperwork said it actually was her birthday...didn't clear it all up until the end of class. This is now her favourite class! LOL

We had alot to talk about:) Kids, grandkids, husbands, and friendships. Good to know somethings never change and somethings can change for the better. Enjoyed yesterday so much. Kathy

I so hate homework. Recent research is lending support to the fact that homework is of no benefit and creates stress not only on the child but the whole family. I abhor homework and I was a teacher....

Can't wait to see you Kathy. Don't get too chatted out before I get there.
Homework (too much) sucks. Hope it isn't permanent (tell him Kimmie will help him if it is :))
I can just imagine Nicole's beautiful face when they were singing to her. Very funny. My Physics teacher used to call me "Cloth Ears". He claims I was never listening! Imagine that! He was actually a fave too.
