as usual, ltc was off and ignoring us the minute we arrived
That is the best! The wailing clinging child the first day of school is such a horror for all involved.
msbelle, I'm always impressed with how organized you are with selling stuff, etc.
Seriously! I am the worst with this stuff. Hence having had either work warehouses or storage units for years.
Laura, there was one kid in her class last year that was in hysterics every single morning. I was so grateful not to have to deal with that.
I'm having one of the busiest months ever with three big exams next week, moving apartments the following week and still recovering from that nasty virus I've had last week. Seeing msbelle and Gud's posts here is the mental kick I need when I Just Can't Anymore.
Good job, msbelle!
Sheryl, hang in there. Even with the professionals involved, it's going to take some time to help Mr. S change his behavior. In the meantime, be good to yourselves!
Sara started junior year of high school today. I am not quite believing it, although she isn't here, so I guess it's true.
Wow, Amy! I can't believe she is that grown up!
Me either. And she is the last bird in the nest, so to speak. Craziness.
Not quite as notable as being a HS junior, but Matilda has grown 2.5 inches since January and is now....5'1".
She's also on the softball team again for her third year.
And now that she's fulfilled her lifelong dream to be a catcher, like Emmett, she is discovering that catching is rather painful and full of bruising.
Go, Matilda! How old is she now?
Okay, time to go pick up ltc from school. I watched 3 episodes of Gina Torres's new show, had a pot of tea, read through my emails, and posted a couple of things on dreamwidth, which is the time of morning I have really needed for a while now.
I am frustrated at work. I think I messed yp my PTO but I swear when I scheduled it I had scheduled all of it. But now it looks like I have 76 hours. Which sounds great but I'm not sure how I ended up qoth that much time left over AND we have a blackout date after Oct until Jan. So I can only use it Sept, Oct and Jan and then I lose it.
Partly this is my fault because I didn't use more earlier but I swear I didn't have 3 weeks of PTO and one week of personal time
