First day back to school after March Break has hit a bit of a pause button action this morning. Heading over to the optometrist office to have the kids eyes checked. Eldest has been complaining as of late that she can not read the smart board from where she sits. So she may potentially require glasses. I have told her to ask if she can switch seats so as to be able to read the board, but to no avail. Either she (my daughter) has NOT asked, or has been denied her request. We have not met this new teacher after her initial one was so unceremoniously let go due to poor treatment of several students. His “roast” battles were getting ugly, among other things. Nothing touchy-touchy, just poor judgement for punishments towards disruptive students. Anyway, besides the point. New teacher is here, we’ve not met her to inquire about the seating change, or reasons for a lack thereof, so now we go to the source and get her eyes checked. Then we can go after the teacher once we know more if it is required.
So while the schedule has reset back to normal, we have this one little hiccup to attend to for both kids first. Then we go back to normal – sort of. Today is a bust for being a cookie cutter typical day, but for the most part we all go back to our regular daily schedules. Huzzah!
So here it is,,Monday in all of it’s cold, damp glory. Saint Patrick’s Day at that! Green things all around. This was always a bigger than normal holiday for the brewery crowd I worked with back in the day. Distorts how popular this day is for the regular world when you work for a brewery. It seems like it’s as big as Valentine’s Day or even Boxing Day from that vantage point, but it really isn’t much of a big deal for regular folks. For Alcoholics I imagine it’s up there with Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving, and the Superbowl, and World Series. But to the rest of us it is just a cold day in mid March.
We did the kids laundry yesterday. So I don’t need to do it today! Yay. We came home a full day later so I had less time to prep things around the house for today. Still managed to go get groceries, and fill up the car, and chop down some wood pieces. Today I focus on report edits and vacuuming the house. Dog hair waits for no man!
