Test Day

Yesterday, after class, I drove to Conroe, TX to bring the rest of my documents (Social Security Card and high school transcripts) to the Texas Department Of Public Safety to become an eligible candidate for the dispatcher position.  The recruiter was waiting for me at the door (isn't that SWEET??!!??).  She asked if I would like to sit in and observe the communications center, and I did, for TWO HOURS (I was having so much fun, I didn't want to leave!), then left because I had to go home, feed my family, and study for my TEST.

I studied, rested, had breakfast this morning, and everything, but still wound up making B's on both tests!  My husband didn't even study that much, and made A's!!!!!  GRRRRR!!!!!!  Well, he does have an Associate Degree in Computer Technology, so I know that his grades are warranted......still, I STUDIED.........

After checking on my daughter at school yesterday and speaking to the principal about the problems Angela was having with this little boy, the next day the child wound up running away from his grandmother's house, prompting the school to call the police to help find him!  Yesterday, I mentioned to the principal my concerns about the little boy.  It seems that he is always left unsupervised after school.  His house is literally steps away from the school, yet he and his brothers and/or cousins are always left waiting outside, sometimes for HOURS, for someone to let them in the house.  The principal advised me to call the police, but I didn't.  I mean, I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble or arrested, here.  And I'm not in his mother's shoes.  I don't know what's going on there, and it's not my place to judge.  I even offered to help the mother if necessary, or alert her of the after school program that my daughters are enrolled in.  But the school officials probably did that already.  My heart goes out to those children.  I hope the school was able to contact the mother, and I hope that they will help the mother have those issues addressed as soon as possible.  

My husband went to look into a job offer, so I have the house to myself for a couple of hours.  However, the instructor is giving us ANOTHER test tomorrow, so I have to study!!!!!  Bye, y'all!!!!!
