I wish that I had thought of the changing the clock thing when the girls were younger and had slumber parties. I didn't know that there were computer games that work on higher level math skills. I will definitely look into that for Meagan. I wish that we could meet for lunch. Keep me posted on Cara -- I have called her a little more frequently lately in hopes that she would spill the beans, but no movement on that yet! I think that next week we will know the schedule of games when Meagan will be dancing. She did not make the dance for the first try-out. It was jazz; not her strong suit. But she did make the dances for the next two try-outs: a kick rountine and a pom routine. There are two more try outs -- one more for kick and one more for pom. Hopefully she will make both. Each routines is danced at two games -- one at home and one away. So if she makes the next two dances, then she will be in 8 out of 10 dances for the football season. I think that she would feel pretty good about that. The last two try-outs will be next week. I will keep you posted. Have a great weekend.

Bummer about Meagan--I agree that physics and precalc would be a killer. You've probably looked into this but there are some great computer "games/drills" for math. Brigeda does the early ones but there are some for the heavy duty stuff as well... Amanda must have aced that lock/locker and changing classes thing if she loves her classes... Brigeda doesn't start until the 21st. It is always a strange week when all the other kids (and her best friend) is in school--kind of waiting week but we should be getting ready for her party. GREAT IDEA: I'm going to change the clocks in my house the night of the slumber party--to 2 hour ahead. So they can have their midnight swim and snack (at 10pm!). I don't know whether this makes me a creepy or clever mom... Let me know when you get Meagan's football schedule...Brigeda has been moaning about wishing she was in Houston since we left... Today is Cara's appt with the gyn/ob--maybe an announcement will be forthcoming. I'm meeting a guy I took my web certification classes with on Monday. He owns a design firm in Georgetown and has some freelance work. It would be great to be able to accelerate our return to solvency! Talk to you soon...

The old Parent Trap is always great too, I wish that I could be there. I know that Brigeda must be excited about the slumber party. When does she start school? Today is day #2 for the girls --Amanda loves her classes. Meagan thought that the first day "sucked". I have been on the phone with her counselor and assistant principal this morning trying to undo a bad decision that she made on her class selection. Despite annual struggles with algebra and geometry, she signed up for both Physics and Pre-Calc!!! I don't know what she was thinking!! Amazingly, for a school as large as Klein, I was persuasive enough with the assistant principal that they will ignore the July 22 deadline for changing your schedule and they will let her drop Physics and add a study hall. She still will take Pre-Calc, but she is in a regulars class that will be a review of Algebra II during the first semester, which is probably exactly what she needs. I was prepared to go all the way to the school board if necessary to get her a schedule that makes sense, but luckily I didn't have to go that far. Hope that you have a good weekend!

Thought it might be good for the slumber party--we've got a tropical island theme going.... Cindy
