What should I do?

I would love to be outside cleaning up the yard from this week's past wind storm but a certain puppy gets into trouble while we are outside. She barks and barks and whines at the door. At least we know she is alive and can see her. Then she will just disappear and suddenly we hear a crash. That would be her crawling all over the furniture and the coffee table knocking things down. She hates being along. She even whines when I go downstairs to the basement to throw a load of laundry in. Can anyone else feel my pain????

Interesting story...this week was the State ELA(English Language Arts) exam. There is three parts. Since many of my children have test mods, I often have to test them alone and at a different time than the rest of the students. So one of my students is a poor reader, to say the least. The first day of the test is 28 multiple choice questions. The most she has gotten right in practice test, 7(yes, seven). So since I can't read a word to her, she was really struggling with reading the stories. She took so long on the first story that I told her she didn't have time to read the remaining stories. She would have to read the questions as best as she could and try to find the answer or guess. She decided that for the ones that she was really struggling with she would do eenie, meanie, minie, moe. Wouldn't you figure that she got 17(that is seventeen) correct. Can you believe the luck?

Well I am off to do some laundry since the little girls is sleeping. I don't dare to try and go outside. Not until Matt gets home, at least.
