Thursday: on hold at lego, playing catch

T. asked to play catch. It was for a school assignment. I said sure, thinking we would go outside, and suggested he get a ball. He came back with a basketball and wanted to use it indoors. I was like, um, no. We can play catch inside, that is fine, but we are using a different ball. I found something a lot smaller and muuuuch lighter. We played catch very briefly (I think we were supposed to do 10 back and forths and he actually counted). That was fun.

I sat on hold at lego again, but this time allowed enough time to actually get through without something else interrupting that would require me to hang out. I had placed an order via paypal, which had a backordered item that was not going to be available for another few weeks, and so paypal timed out (the treehouse). I gave them a credit card number over the phone.

A. got through her school with no meltdowns today, and actually did some of her writing responses entirely independently. Go her! She is also getting through her Khan Academy assignments before / during breakfast. Apparently, you put her school work on an iPad and she will start her day with that instead of Unspeakable or Shark minecraft videos.

Tomorrow is teacher planning day. For A., that means a day to finish up any assignments not completed earlier in the week. Ha ha ha ha ha. Like I would allow that to happen. So, the weekend has already started for her. OK, not totally true: she is supposed to do a special of her choice; she is going to repeat Just Dance.

ETA: the TP arrived today
