BRIEF!

It's almost time for me to get off, so I have to make this entry VERY brief. 

I did sit in with Angela the following week.  Angie has improved tremendously since then.  I believe that kids must learn how to conduct themselves in a classroom setting, and the only way that they can learn that is to be taught that.  Unfortunately, teachers today don't teach this, but somehow expect the child to know through osmosis or something.  I helped Angela learn what was expected of her, while getting the message through to her teacher that she hasn't seen or heard the last of me!

I wound up getting a refund anyway!  And I worked some overtime last week, so my account looks pretty nice.  I am going to need all of that extra money for the trip.

Our new supervisors are here.   Whatever............no real changes at all.......next........... 

Today has been a mixed-bag sort of day.  This morning went well; the girls had gotten to school on time, I did the laundry, I fixed two days' worth of lunch, and managed to do a bit of cleaning that made the house look a lot neater and more comfortable.  Then, Matt called and said that he wanted me to pick the girls up early because he didn't know what time he was getting home today.  An assignment that his group was hired to do wasn't finished by the deadline, so they couldn't leave until the work was completed.  I was glad that I started my day out early, but then it RAINED HARD.  By the time I left to pick the girls up, the rain was falling so heavy that the streets flooded.  Then, always the dutiful, protective mother, I drove as close to the porch as possible so that my precious cargo wouldn't get too wet.  Backing the car away from the porch, I hit the wall with my bumper AGAIN (this time, the car jack-knifed), and pulled my front bumper further away from the front of my car.  Great.  The blow to the wall only loosened a few bricks, so thatwas a good thing.  When I made it to work today, the rain finally stopped.  I was dressed in all of my "don't wanna get wet" clothes."  LOL  Oh, and I forgot to mention that my babies were home by themselves until late in the evening.  Matt didn't arrive home until nine-ish.  I called the house every thirty minutes to check on them.  They were fine; I had food prepared for them already, and plenty of snacks.  They ate dinner on time, took their baths, and went to bed on time.  I am SO proud of my babies.  I hope that this will not happen again.  What a day!

Did I mention that my "friend" arrived today?   GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...........
