Good morning… if you can call it that. Â The sky is pitch black dotted with sparkling stars and the dog is barking to go out. It is a little after 4a.m. I tried to go back to bed, but my horizontal brain kicked in. For those of you that don’t have this issue, I’ll fill you in. Â As soon as you lie down your brain kicks into overdrive..wheels turning on every subject under the sun. All the things you need to get done..all the things you feel you should have done and everything you should be doing. Of course none of it really matters, but you can never go back to sleep, so here I am…4:36a.m. I am looking forward to the sunrise this morning…if it is anything like yesterday it will be spectacular!!!
Yesterday went very well. Â Dad headed off to the airport at 6:40a.m. The boys were up to wish him a safe and successful trip. They polished off two or three breakfasts, got dressed without too much fuss and we headed off to little old ladies to administer little old dog’s shot…then off to school. Â We were a bit early, so I went in to the P.E. teachers room to fill him in on the “Head butting” situation. He had not been informed. He asked our littlest one to please tell him if anything problematic ever comes up in the future and he assured me that this behavior would be stopped. I hope so. Â He is a great teacher…all of our kids teachers have been amazing thus far. He has been at the school for 30 years…so cool…and his programs are great. The kids have cross country, track and field, soccer, square dancing(not my favorite)rope climbing, peg boards …a plethora of varied physical activity. Don’t Ever Vote For Education Funding Cuts…the future of our children can’t afford it!!
Off to work I went.
Uncle T and Aunt Blondie picked the boys up from school. Â The parking lot parent patrol scolded uncle T for leaving his car unattended. Sorry Uncle T. The boys of course had a blast…after their homework they played ping pong, played outside, ate 2 grilled cheese sandwiches each plus an assortment of accompaniments and set reminders to tape t.v. shows to watch today….Good times!!! Thank you guys!! The boys are looking forward to another day with their Aunt and Uncle. Another honorable mention…Uncle T brought up yummy fried chicken last night. You rock Uncle T!
The boys and I went trough their Monday folders together. A “Monday Folder” comes home…you guessed it..every Monday filled with work they completed the previous week and info on the week to come. Parents are required to sign and date the folder to insure they hopefully went trough it. Our oldest has another CSAP test this morning on writing. He is a little nervous about punctuation, but is confident he will do well. Â I assured him that his best is all he can do. The school sent home a reminder to ask that the children get a good nights sleep and a healthy breakfast…so far the sleep part is on track and I will for sure make a healthy breakfast. One more test tomorrow and then two next week and we will be done with CSAP.
I work 12-8 today and Dad should be picking the kiddos up around 6:15-6:30 on his way home from the airport. I’ll have to remind him to get our oldest to bed early.
The youngest has his last Destination Imagination meeting today and a dress rehearsal Friday. The big competition is Saturday morning….I better get the dvd recorder charged!!
Have another lovely day!!!
God Bless,
