Today is Tuesday

I am so very thankful for my Sunday nights of work!!!

They aren't giving out any extra hours but somehow I got some. :) Its a huge peace of mind for me to know I have some extra coming in.

So last night was the womens get together at my neighbors house and i couldn't go. Well, it turns out I could have because Shaun got home at 7 when it started but my day was done. I got a lot of cleaning done then I took a shower and put on my pj's so I was not going anywhere until 11:30 that night. :)

I realized after posting my last blog that I forgot the end of my pumpkins story.

She didn't send them!!! We called to tell her thank you and she said she didn't want all the candy to melt so she just sent the clothes and other stuff.

Thats okay, though. Once pumpkin season is over, it will be time for eggnog which I am equally excited for. :) :)

Mycah forgot her homework folder yesterday and my mother bear instinct is in full gear.

Her teacher doesn't seem like the nicest woman and I'm afraid she will be mean to my kid. I just don't put up with that from people. I consider myself to have a nice handle on my kids so I don't think its anyone else's place to say anything. Even when they are just being kids or acting up either Shaun or myself is right there to put a stop to it.

She knows she will have to sit out of first recess to do her work and thats okay with both of us, but she said one minute her folder was there and the next it was gone so hopefully they find it and she can do her work and turn it in. I would think if it was a big deal the teacher would have given her another paper but then again, not from what I've seen living here.

No offense to those born here who read this.

Just like in FL, theres a race of white trash and then theres a race of regular middle class folks, here there are thinkers and non thinkers and you are in the thinker category.

When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I somehow checked out two library books and I got a note to go talk to the librarian. She basically yelled at me telling me she didn't know how it happened because there was no way to even check out two books. I remember for the rest of the day my legs were shaking and I felt like I was in trouble at every turn because I was so painfully shy and, well, we all know librarians don't yell for just any reason. I found the book and turned it in without saying anything to my mom for a few weeks and when I finally did she was livid that I was spoken to that way. She said it wasn't my fault and the librarian is supposed to keep track of the books borrowed so its more her fault than mine. I remember how good that made me feel about myself that she stood up for me, and I intend to do the same for my kiddos.

I really think its no big deal about her folder but I'm on guard in case the need arises, is all I'm saying.
