A tough story to tell!<br /><br />Alex - I try to understand the reasoning behind this problem and just don't get it.<br /><br />Linda - Thanks! I couldn't resist the cat photo.<br /><br />Cathy - Guess the problem with health care has only just begun. Kind of scary.<br /><br />Patricia- Hi! True, true...the break applies to all age groups!<br /><br />Diana - Thanks! I need to check your award post soon.<br /><br />Liz - And as a teacher, you sure would know!<br /><br />Onery - Hi! Thanks for visiting, too. It felt good to vent a bit.<br /><br />David - Interesting twist in New South Wales.

They spend too much time not sitting and learning. A possible overreaction to the increasing problem of obesity. Healthy children who can't spell.

Good for you to take a break, sad about the recess--scary about the doctors (we just go for our required physicals or if we break a bone) and YAY for finishing chapters!<br />tmorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-83859528047229087202013-07-26T13:59:08.604-07:002013-07-26T13:59:08.604-07:00Sometimes we all need a break.

I hope you are on the mend and glad to see you back (and feisty!) You're just in time to see me take a deep breath and address the blog awards I was given (one from you).

Some, but not all results from tests were sent to me. Of those that weren't sent, I had to bug them for the answers--which they couldn't find until they did some serious searching on their computer records. <br /><br />Then, they do things differently. They don't do as many tests on the blood, and what they do, they do in-house. All the changes are apparently cost-saving measures, due to the soon-to-be official Obamacare. <br /><br />Hoot! Hoot! for finishing your revision in three weeks!

It's been too long. <br /><br />My son is going into 8th grade and not once did he take a PE class. It's crazy! Luckily, he likes playing outdoors, and riding his bike, but I know many kids just don't do that. Miranda Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880449368013410349noreply@blogger.com
