 Wow, it's been a while! It's unbelievable how little time I have now. I have like 5 things due every week just for astronomy. I don't remember how much I've updated about that, but I did really well on the first test, and then I failed the second one. I've missed a couple online quizzes and I'm struggling with a couple of the sky labs. So I really don't have a good idea of what kind of grade I'll end up with. I'd be happy with a C. Well not happy, but fine. My tutor had a family emergency and wasn't around last week so I might have to contact the professor and see who else he knows who might be able to help.

So Joey (of NKOTB) has a new podcast out. The first episode was fun, and short, and was basically an intro. The new ep came out and his wife is on it. So it's like...being the third wheel on a date with him and his wife. LOL. The concept of the podcast is about moving, and how moving, either as a kid or even later in life, really changes your life. It's interesting, but I'm not really focusing on this one. It's not structured. And it's kind of driving me crazy that his wife is totally chatty and down to earth and well, likeable. Ha ha. They just keep talking over each other, and I wish it were more like, let the guest talk. Even if it is your wife. LOL.

Okay so they got to an emotional part and now I feel bad for knocking it. Part of the premise is that Joey and his family are moving back to the East Coast! Sadly not Boston, but New York. But that is exciting because maybe he'll be in Boston more.

Anyway, I have been pulling A's in my other 3 classes. I get worried with my online class because you don't get to go in and see a person who will remind you what's coming up. I can't believe I wanted to talk all my classes online before. It would be a nightmare. I just pictured it being more structured, like your assignments would open on a certain day and you'd have to watch a recorded lecture twice a week or something, but it's much more self-led. 

Halloween went well. Of course our son was nervous about his costume because he always feels like people won't know what it is. He was a character from a game called Five Nights at Freddy's. He went ToTing with a friend and had a good time.

We have an appt. set up to take him to a therapist. He was resisting the idea, but I really think he needs someone (particularly a trusted male adult) who he can talk to outside of school. A couple things have kind of been working as far as his behavior at home, but there is a lot of ongoing stuff that someone needs to stay on top of. The school is helping us, but they can only do so much.

Things are still rough with my husband. It just seems like he is not invested in this family life and he always says things like "Let's do things as a family!" But those things are like, going to Home Depot. Or dragging our son along to something he doesn't want to do just for the sake of doing things as a family. It doesn't make sense to me. Like my son and I were home alone on Sunday and there was this trail walk thing going on at his school which I thought he would like because he could show me the woods and maybe run into a couple friends. But he told me he didn't want to go if I was going because he was afraid I'd get tired on the walk. I mean I guess he had good intentions but it hurt my feelings. He wanted to invite himself along with someone else's family, LOL. I hate that practice. So we didn't end up going. And my husband said he would have just made our son go. What fun would that be? I wanted to go with him if he wanted to go, not if I had to make him go. It just didn't make sense to me.
