Good Good News…
I had some good good news today!! I really can’t see how the day can go wrong, but I will *knock* on wood that it doesn’t go downhill.
First of all, Laura came home from school and she had her normal math homework. No biggie there. But when I was looking through her papers I found an Attention paper! It said that Laura had no spelling homework this week since she got a 100 on the test! (Well, I don’t totally understand about that… I mean, it was a 100 for LAST week. So they miss a week and the words get harder… but whatever.) Anyways, I’m so glad to see that improvement on her test… she hasn’t gotten a 100 on a test in a long time. She spent a lot of time this last week writing those words on a dry erase board. It looks like it helped!
Then I logged into school for my grades and to check on progress with the group project! My grades were up… (FINALLY!)… I got a 65/75 (B) on my discussion board and my replies. I got a 100/100 (A) on my individual project. YAY! My group project is doing good… I’ve gotta start doing my research tonight after the kids go to bed.
Today I went to the PA (Public Aid) office. I wanted to update about my quitting my job, my last name change, and also my full time student status. Well, they didn’t say much about me quitting my job, probably because I told them that I was looking for a part time job currently since I was a full time student. Why did you get divorced (well, that’s none of your business.. you got the papers YOU needed out of it, which included my last name change and court ordered child support)? Also, then they started on how can I be a full time student. I told them I take 2 classes every 5 weeks (well, that’s not full time). Well, it is full time when you concider that a normal semster I’m taking 6-8 classes. I told them I would print off my letter that says I’m a full time student, plus I had it include my GPA (4.0), AND my class schedule. I took it back up there and dropped it off at their office. Hopefully it shuts them up!
I did happen to have one thing that didn’t make me very happy… This morning we left the house by 5 after 8 to start our daily drop off. Laura gets dropped off first, Caleb and Matthew next, then Steve at work. Then I come back home or I take care of errands that need to be ran. Anyways, so Steve’s boss calls this morning as we are heading to Laura’s school. He wants to know if Steve’s going to come into work early. Steve says he’ll be there in about 10-15 minutes that he has to drop off the kids first. See, Steve’s suppose to be there by 9 AM but I was dropping him off at 8:30 anyways. His boss said something to the effect that "Why does he have to drop off the kids, they aren’t his kids. I can send (insert name) to pick you up now." Well, that’s rubbed me the wrong way all day long. I mean, no they aren’t his kids… but he isn’t suppose to be at work anyways yet so what right does he have to say anything about it
. Whatever. It’s that attitude that makes me dislike him so much sometimes. URG!
