Just another day in paradise....

Have I already titled a post like that? Hell if I know. I'm counting down til vacation. Counting down til my day off on Thursday works too.

I got to talk to the boys today. They sounded ok---they had been hiking around the Grand Canyon someplace, and are going to 4 corners tomorrow. Ben finished the HP book, of course Chris and their dad had already finished it. So we talked about the book and their trip and stuff.

Ron's uncle and aunt from Cleveland area came down to WV last night and out to our house tonight. EEK---not them--they're cool, but my house is in the middle of a major reorganization(like when isn;t it....)so not exactly the shape I would have liked it to be in, but oh well... Shellie kept them well entertained by literally performing selections from the Hannah Montana show.

By the way, it has been so long since I played this game---someone remind me what kind of car is a pididdle and which is a pidaddle. I know one is a "one eye", but I forget which as well as what the other is. I know I am hopeless.

The superintendent of schools here in the co. and I have been emailing back and forth the last couple of days on the school supply issue. I am losing the battle on getting reimbursed for the supplemental paperbacks I had to buy for Chris summer reading program for honors, but I can deal with that---he knows I do not agree with it, but states that a resolution for parents in my situation is trying to be reached--maybe a book buyback or something. We'll see. I probably won;t sell the books back, because Ben is headed down the same academic path his brother has blazed, so at some point I figure he will need the same books. But I only have to buy supplemental supplies for them to use here at home, not for school. So that does help some. We'll see how it goes as the school year gets into full swing in the next few weeks. I guess I am just not as angry as I was when it all first came up.

Well, I guess that is it for tonight, unless I find something while surfing that catches my attention.
