Day 42

Good evening everyone. This morning I woke Lex up by 6:45. I went downstairs, got her cereal on the table, and came back up. She was laying back down. I was like "Lex! Get up!" She jumped up, got out of bed, and walked to her closet. At this point, usually she is good to go. I climb back into bed for abotu 20 minutes. She gets dressed, goes down and eats her breakfast, and then when it is time she comes up and is like "Daddy, it's time to go." Sometimes I even set a time for about 20 or so after 7 so she comes knows when it is time for us to head to the bus stop.

Today I fell back asleep, and then I realized what time it was a few minutes before 9AM. I went into Lex's bedroom and looked in her closet. She was still sitting there, still mostly in her pj's. She had a t-shirt on but still had her pajama pants on. I was like "Lex! What's going on? What have you been doing?" She was like "I've been looking for my shirt." I was like "for the past 2 hours? It's 9AM!" She was like "It is?" "Yes! You're already a half hour late for school! Get downstairs, we have to go NOW!" When we came downstairs, I noticed that her cereal was still on the table. She had not been downstairs at all.

Tonight around 8pm, I paused the netflix, and we chatted with Lex. It was mainly about how she has been in 3rd grade for about 9 months so far *she has about 2 weeks to go*, and she has always had problems getting up in the morning. We send her to bed early and she still takes a while to get up. So tonight we told her that no more staying up till 10. We plan to have her in bed by 8:30 or 9. Also I replaced a bulb in her room so hopefully that'll help. She has my old alarm clock in her room but has yet to use it. So tonight i set two alarms on it and put it full volume. Of course, we will see what happens tomorrow morning!

I logged onto my class at the community college website and checked my grade. I had a B at midterm and I ended up with a C over all. It would no longer show me the individual grades so I have no idea what brought my grade down. It could have been my attendance the past 2.5 weeks, or it could have been my final grade. The last paper was worth 100 points. If she didn't score me very much on it, that could have dropped my grade an entire letter. Oh well. I'm not too worried about it for 2 reasons. 1) a C is perfectly fine to me. It means a passing grade, credit for the clas, etc. 2) I'm switching schools to AMU for my hospitality major. so I mainly wanted to successfully complete the class with at least a C. I figure if after I get my bachelors in hospitality, if I decide I want to complete the nursing degree then at least I have it started.

In closing, my days off are definetely different without having to head to the college on monday wednesday and friday to go to class. I'm looking forward to being able to complete my classes simply by logging online. That'll be great. I should hopefully be receiving my books in the next two weeks I think. The only other thing I will write about tonight is Lex's soccer. Tomorrow we have practice. The last game is scheduled for this coming saturday. The only thing is there is still 2 games that have to be rescheduled. Since we all had to pay a fee at the beginning of the season, I'm hoping that it they will not just forget those games. I think the kids really should be allowed to play every game that was scheduled. I think that will be it for tonight. I will write more for you all tomorrow.

Thanks for being here.
