Happy Hour Somewhere

This and that

It's been a while. Megan and I just looked at some letter cards. One side has a picture and the other has the letter. She knows all her letter sounds and she knew the letter the picture started with. She's reading quite a few of the pre-k sight words and a few of the kindy words. We have been reading Frog and Toad together and she does very well. I accidentally knocked her on the forehead with a chair yesterday. She's gone almost 5 years w/out a goose egg on her face and I screw it all up. I felt so bad and the poor thing just cried. Not 30 minutes later she was tossing her little chair around and bonked herself on the nose and it started to bleed. What a day. Oh, she can tie her shoes all by herself. They don't stay tied for long, but she has the steps down.

Jared is having surgery on May 12. We check in to Shriners on May 10. The cleanout takes about 2 days. He won't have food for the 2 days before and several days after. My mom is coming to help with Megan and take turns sleeping at the hospital w/Jared. I'm afraid Megan won't take me being away for so long very well. I talked to her teacher and they are going to talk about it a few days before we go. She knows much better than I am how to talk to her about this.

My sister is staying here w/us for a while. So is my nephew Carson. He's 4. I think he's too babyish. He cries for his "blankie" and "can I have some drink?" She lets him eat ice cream for breakfast and drink as many juices as he wants. My kids are limited to one juice a day and one yogurt or pudding. He leaves my fridge open most of the day eating all the grapes and carrots. He is a sweetie and I love him. We all are adjusting and I know he's going through a tough time.

Robby started a new job. It's still with Xerox, but at a different location. The company is TXU. I think that's a new power company here in TX. It's closer and they are hiring him on and giving him benefits!!! I'm not too sure how he likes it yet. He has the option of moving back to HP if he wants to.

What about me? I am moving my application for the school through the processes. I have my 3 refrences done. 2 were by the teachers I volunteer with and the 3rd was the principal!!! I asked her if she could/would/should and she said she almost never does them, but she would for me because she has known me for 3 years. The last thing I need to do is send off for my GED certificate. It will take 3 weeks to get back. I told Mrs Navel it was coming so she could pull my app when she figures out what positions are opening up. We have a new school in the district so a lot of teachers and paraprofessionals are moving around. Close to 800 students will be leaving the school. I need all fingers crossed for me. I think that's all for now.
