The fruits of her efforts will be acknowledged tonight at a graduation ceremony at U of H, and I am so proud of her. Way to go, Tnk!
Second, I wanted to tell my other sister (they're twins, by the way) that I hope she gets well soon. Her ACL surgery really knocked her for a loop, and she's pretty much still bedridden. Side note: this sister also rocks because she is an EMT. She rides ambulances and saves lives - for free! Props to you, too, sis. Get well soon!
Hmmm ... I'm starting to think I should go to firefighter school just to complete the circle - police, ambulance, fire. Well, since that probably won't work out, we'll have to do police, ambulance, accountant.
Suddenly, I feel insignificant.
Anyhooooooo ... today I spent the morning shopping. I bought a graduation gift for my sis, plus a few clothes for me. I am in desperate need of new casual clothes, since I lead a casual life. (Isn't that a Sheila E song?) I went to a cool store called Fancy Pants ("Social Blunders" people will appreciate that, lol) and bought some really nice black capri pants for $12. Normal price was $50. Cheap! Wait, that was yesterday's post...
Kids got off to school just fine this morning. I hope R has a better day - yesterday was apparently rough for him. I might have to have a chat with his beyotchy (is that a word?) teacher. She has not impressed me at all so far. R started reading at 3, is in the gifted program, and won the school spelling bee last year (read: he's intelligent). But his teacher is doing her best to hold him back, and I do NOT appreciate that at all.
(heavy sigh)
P had a pretty good day yesterday, or so she said. She made a new friend on the bus, which is good because the kids have no neighborhood friends here yet. Well, now there's one, I suppose.
K had a GREAT day at school. I was (and am) over the moon about that! He's my normally painfully-shy 7th grader, but he took to his new school like a pro. I am so proud of him. Way to go, kiddo!
This morning was less stressful than yesterday; for one thing, no moving truck appeared to block my driveway, and for another, K actually caught the bus. Hubby left for work before K went to school, so I had the house all to myself as soon as the bus came. It was too quiet, so I used that as an excuse to go shopping. (Yeah, that's the reason. Some of my other shopping excuses include "I was bored" or "I was awake.") In any event, I won't be making a habit of it, so don't worry, hubby.
Well, I'd better get this place straightened up a bit. My MIL is coming over to watch the kids while I go to sis's graduation, and I'd like the place to look really clean. Oh, who am I kidding, there's not time for all that. I guess I'll settle for "neatened up."
Oh, and please keep hubby's 94-year-old grandmother in your thoughts and prayers. She has been admitted to the hospital and is not doing well. I hope she recovers, in part because R is extremely close to her, and frankly, I don't think his little 9-year-old heart can handle the pain of losing her. :(
Get well, GG! We love you!
