SOHCAHTOA

SOHCAHTOA

Wait for it.....wait for it....do you remember
SOHCAHTOA???  Sine = Side Opposite over Hypoteneuse...is it coming back...remember? Cosine = Adjacent/Hypoteneuse...and the crowd favorite TANGENT = Opposite/Adjacent.  THIS is how I spent my Monday night.  Right angles and CoSecants

Half Time, I'll Do it At Half Time

So I am looking at my title and is half time supposed to be one word?  I am going off on a TANGENT.....hahhaha..Ok, not funny...back to our regularly scheduled program....

The Swede had settled into his chair because of course Monday Night Football was on.  He had his first JV game today and he played AWESOME!  Kickoff squad and defense...he had a big tackle too, couldn't have been prouder.  We avoided concussions but the kid got quite the stinger on his shoulder. So he is iced up, under his blanket, assortment of dogs on his lap and calmly avoiding his homework.  I ask about it and he says, it's only 10 math problems, I will do it at half time.  Well, guess what, half time rolls, the kid hasn't moved, I drop his book and papers in his lap and he starts asking questions.  He is still translating many things, so we work through that, but then he asks me about Pythagoreum Theorem.  I walk over...mind you, boy is still under blanket and doggies, I had to mute the TV, he said he could concentrate with it on. I won.  He still doesn't get up, so I take the book and sit at the table and start doing homework.   I was terrible at math in high school, being the daughter of a mathematician had its perks, but many drawbacks and having him help was one of them.  The dude was way to smartypants and I was way to 13 and hormonal.  So back to Trig. I went off on another Tangent....har har!  I am toooo punny.  I just punched myself in the face for that one. 

OK...so I do his math problems while he sat in his chair, with his blanket and his dogs and his ice packs, oh and his napping.  Doing the kid's homework, not in the handbook, but, well, but nothing.  I just can't wait to see what I got right.
