090327 - Well today was a normal day full of too much to do and getting things done, but not necessarily what needs to be done. Dealing with this customer is about all I can stand. I worked from sun up until i could hear the family about half way through dinner... But I did go out and the note on my outlook 'D - End of grading period' had me nervous... So out I went to get some grub and see how D in school. Well good news even though it was the end of the grading period grade cards did not come out today. However the grade for the 'Biome Project' was. I looked through it and was amazed at how good D actually did. He got an A+ and told us it was the highest grade in his class!!! Above is a pic of the display he made and used in his speech. He choose the tundra to focus on and he spent lots of time on this. But I had NO IDEA of the work he had put into this overall project at school. So tonight to share my amazement I have taken a bit of time to scan in his book 'Biome Book' to share (below).The rest of the day, both before and after were quite lame, so enough of that. Other than Jack's soccer practice, L going to a friends to make some awful looking thing she plans to hang in the house and getting to watch a movie with D&J.
090326 - UP another day full of P, awful stress crap!!! LJ&G out to Marlene's to play. D home with a MOUND of homework to do that it seems he didn't have time for in school this quarter (TALKING/SOCIALIZING...). This did not make L happy but I rescued him and pulled him into the office and he sat next to me for 2 hours and finished it ALL! We had dinner and then an expedition to the toy store. Everyone used their allowance/potty money to get something EXCEPT D... He was not quite happy about it. But there wanted a specific toy that we could not find in 3 different stores. But we are trying to teach him to save for the thing he wants and not the little thing he can afford NOW! Hard lesson for a little boy... Home, boys to bed, watched Grey's Anatomy w/ L, then worked till 2am...
090325 - Up on the ph straight way, then L was calling me out for dinner... I took D&J to Karate, then Meijer and bought a bunch of ice cream, syrups and beer! Home, boys to bed, working till 3am....
