Still No Audit

Another day they didn’t show, and people just don’t get how very much I have to do.  My principal came in today to ask why these kids who have been absent, have these holes in their attendance record. Well, gee, ma’am, that would be because I’ve been locked up in my office doing filing and […]

Audit Day?

Nope, they didn’t show.  A day of reprieve, I just might make it.  Maybe. Halfway through…umm…the seventh grade, and most of the eighth is filed.  Sixth isn’t even started.  And today’s the fortieth day, which means all kinds of fun report-type stuff… Sigh. To bed!!

And enjoy she did.  She hasn’t got it down yet–yes, aunt and uncle, she did over-state her prowess–but we’re working on it.  Mom lives in fear.  I remember my

Belated Birthday

The birthday blog is late, the celebration wasn’t.  So.  Hope had a blast at Chuck E Cheese, and the best ice cream ever after.  Saturday we went to karate where everyone wished her a happy birthday, and she basked in the glow.  Then we went to visit friends, where she was plied with Kentucky Fried
