ugh...good luck with this. I hate it so much when I catch my kids doing this; it feels like such a personal insult to me for some reason. And even with the plagiarism detector, they always try to say they didn't do it.
I have honestly never understood plagiarism. Just use a citation, kid!
I was a TA in college and I saw some of the worst plagiarism on the easiest assignments. It was so weird... like they probably spent more time trying to figure out how to cheat than they would have to actually just do the assignment.
YES. I swear, if some of my kids put in HALF the effort toward actually doing the work as they did into figuring out to cheat they would be so successful!
yl I'm afraid they are going to come back at me because I told them they didn't need to list sources UNLESS they directly quoted information because it should have been more opinion. Well just because you didn't include " ", you quoted 2 pages worth of the source. I'd feel a bit different if they included some in-text citations. Nothing...
NCU, we lost power yesterday morning, the power company says it won't be back on until Saturday at 11:30pm. Of course it's supposed to get down in the 20s and teens the next couple days. Long story short after a lot of trying to figure out what to do, booking and unbooking a hotel room, we are currently staying at a friend's house who is out of town.
jessijean - Aren't these people old enough to know the consequences of plagiarizing?! That would drive me nuts to have to handle adults with kid gloves. I'm just not the most tolerant when it comes to dumb stuff.
I hope you get some good news this afternoon forevermorgan!
Stir fry is great. We usually skip the rice though.
My appointment went well. I got the usual earful about how I was at high risk for everything. I think they try to scare people. Baby measured two days ahead, but looked good and the nuchal fold they said meant I was low-risk. I just need my final results with bloodwork. They didn't offer the other blood testing, which I was surprised about. I don't really care to do it since we aren't finding out the sex and I would rather just play it by ear if something were to be wrong.
Best thing was how I stopped for a burrito on the way home from a very authentic local Mexican restaurant. It's amazing and will be two meals for me!

EmMilAlly, I've been putting caramel sauce in my coffee lately too, since I needed a way to use up the sauce. I might be making more caramel sauce for my coffee now...

Ok, at least you don't have to do a full kitchen remodel jnetx. I know everything lasted longer back then, but how are appliances from the 70s still working?

Omg. I'm waiting at the endocrinologists office and they call "Laurie". Naturally, I get up and go. I get weighed, she takes me vitals and says, "Wow, you look really different from your picture." Not thinking anything of it because it's probably a super old pic I don't say anything. She starts to read off my pharmacy and it's in a city 20 mins away. I look over at the monitor and the picture looks nothing like me! I said, "That's not me!" Lol. Apparently there was another Laurie in the bathroom because I was the only one in the waiting room! The M.A. and I laughed about it and now I'm sitting back in the waiting room. Lol
My friend, her twin sister, and their other sister are all pregnant. My friend decided she wants to name her daughter Brooke, The twin sister decided she wants to name her son Hudson. Now the 3rd sister says she wants to name her kid River.
Now all of them are fighting over who gets what names because they think they are all too similar and water themed.
Random hilarious outtake "River is a hippie name, why can't they do something normal like Matt, Chris, or Jesus."

A black iced coffee with caramel drizzle is my Starbucks JAM. So delish.
Ncu. Dylan started feeling bad last night and had a fever of 103. Took the day off and took her to the ped and she has another ear infection and the flu. She is so pitiful and snuggly. Just have her another dose of Tylenol because her fever is back up to 104. I hate this.

pixiepink24 omg that super sucks! I hope you get on a plane soon!!
AFM - my BFF had her baby today and I can't wait to squish him tomorrow. I am so glad my toddler is being a psychopath tonight because otherwise I might have some crazy baby fever happening.
Half a chicken pot pie and a pint of Ben and Jerry's is a well balanced dinner, right? Asking for a friend whose daughter pooped in the tub tonight - then after washing the toys and sanitizing the tub, filling with fresh water she pooped a second time.

Can someone come make Elena's teeth cut, for the love of all things lovable? Their timing here is impeccable, what with the newborn and mom and dad both being sick and all. Thanks in advance.

What would you guys do if your kid's 2nd grade teacher sends homework that is not correct/doesn't make sense or has multiple correct answers? DS1 is doing enriched work but he gets frustrated when he expects there to be only one correct answer and he keeps getting multiple answers or correcting the handout?

Yep your "friend" deserves all the junk food she wants!

I saw the doctor and got back on zoloft. I cried during my appointment. The doctor I saw is my absolute favorite, I wish he was my permanent doctor. Seriously, he's so great and I've never felt so comfortable in an appointment. He offered to write me off work for stress and I declined today, but he made me promise to go back in 2-4 weeks to follow up and he'll take me off for a bit if he thinks I need it. I'm almost tempted to accept the offer, I could use a break so badly, but I know the boys would be home with me everyday so it wouldn't be a real break.

wineandcake hugs, lady. I'm so glad you're getting the help you need. Your work schedule sounds bananas, frankly, a lot of the time - maybe an extra day or two would help, even if you're "just" mom for the days.

I took the kids to immediate care by myself because I thought Vivian had an ear infection. I was correct. Then we went out to dinner for Chinese after. I got sushi to go so I could have wine, sushi, and Grey's Anatomy later. I cannot wait for dh to get home tomorrow evening.
pixiepink24 hugs, I hope the W is doing okay and you are staying sane. That would be tortuous!
Omg I'm crying hysterically over the Microsoft STEM commercial. Then the next one was an UA one about going on your first run as a dad. I'm a mess. I'm going to bed.
360blessings - I don't know what to do with that homework. I teach math....that doesn't make sense to me. I could very well be too exhausted to make sense of it too.
This week has been brutal, yet again. Cheer tryouts are this week so practice has been running until 6 every night and I've had a couple of other commitments.
One of our secretaries has been running my name in the dirt and I've hit my wall with her. She reported me to my assistant principal for nothing, things outside of my control. She also replied all to my entire school on an email and put my name in all caps. Of course everyone asked me what that was about. I made an appointment with my AP tomorrow to talk this out. I beyond pissed at her spreading lies and acting like nothing is wrong to my face. I spoke with one of my favorite counselors today and she helped me feel better.
