Life, Work, , ,

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I drive Clare to school as a reward for A’s in academic subjects. I drove her today, then came home, expecting to begin working. Andrew needed a ride to school due to a missed bus. Then he called from school and needed his “odd-day” books.  Three trips up Wilson in about an hour…

Got some work done – not what I’d hoped since they needed old files fixed. Should be able to work on the next batch tomorrow though.

Took Clare (and Anna) to pick up some plants at American Plant Food. She wanted a Moon flower. We bought that plus a few other plants. Hope they thrive.

Talked to our neighbor Sue for a while, then Barry and Theo walked by. Theo came in and played with Clare for a while so Barry could walk his dogs around the block. Theo is so cute and he is in love with Clare.

Robin came over – we talked about books for a while – Barry said my bookshelf reminded him of hers – she agreed. I loaned her Shadow of the Wind.

Book group tonight was sparse and we didn’t discuss the book at all. I’m expecting the same for my night – sometime in June.

Monday washday

Work,

Worked for pay for 7½ hours in between laundry loads then did a little blogging yesterday. Dean has decided to do Taekwondo on Monday nights – he’s near a black belt and wants to get it sooner rather than later.

At dinner Andrew asked if I’d take him to get his Xbox 360, so we drove up to Best Buy and bought it. He wanted a couple of games, all M-rated, but I only let him get one – probably a bad idea. It is rated M too, but since I’d actually heard of it I relented.

We hooked it up with no problems and he and Clare had fun playing. Just another reason for him to spend time in the house I guess. Just what we needed.

After the kids went to bed Dean and I watched an episode of Sopranos. I’m getting tired of that series – only a couple of seasons left to go.
