Long Day

Today is Open House at school. It starts at 6 PM and I'm required to be there until 8 PM. I've decided, with the amount of work I need to catch up on, I'll just stay there after school and get some shit done! Since Jim is still on 2nd shift, this won't be an issue for Sami so why not? I'll leave to get dinner - maybe Chiptole? - but that's it. Normally I go and get a coffee at Starbucks in Great Wolf but apparently it's no longer there. Weird, huh? I'm sure part of the problem was it was tucked in the fartherst corner of the place, in the back of the gift shop. Oh well.

Yesterday was a better day at school. Most of my kids got their work done or made up. I've got to keep telling myself that they are as low as they are and have been seriously babied in the past at school. My expectations, I'm sure, are quite a shock to them. I also need to keep reminding myself that Dezi - whacky autistic kid that joined us mid-year last year - is SERIOUSLY autistic and hasn't had exposure to a public school setting before. I'm VERY strict with him but I need to remember to be strict, not MEAN!

I'm going to be bald within a couple weeks, however!

What else? Nothing much. Jim's taking Friday off. Considering he worked 6 days last week (overtime) and has been on 2nd shift for 3 weeks or so, he deserves it. This will allow him to go to Party Source too so that frees our Saturday up a bit.

And that's all I've got. Time to get moving. Happy Thursday! So excited for Friday (and a cocktail! Yes, I've managed NOT to drink again all week...I'm very proud of myself!).  Later!
