Yay it's Friday!!

I really like starting back to work in the middle of the week, because now, after just a couple of days...it's FRIDAY!!! Yay!! Cameron did even better than that, because he started back to school today, and it's the weekend already!! The orientation at his school last night was good. Some of the teachers are using an online grading system where you can look up grades, assignments, etc. and i'm all about that! That will really help me to follow his progress and see how he is doing. Walter & I took Cameron & Bryce to Walmart after the orientation to get their school supplies. The school gives out the supply lists at orientation so that the parents can go fight the back to school shoppers the night before school starts!! I brought the boys to school this morning & they rode the bus home. The bus driver doesn't like having to come down our street, but the neighbor they were riding home with is a senior this year and leaves school early, so the poor bus driver will have to do her JOB and bring them home. I already had to have a bus turnaround created for her to even come down our street, and then I have to MAINTAIN it since it gets ruts in it from all the other busses using it!! Fortunately, some of my neighbors have tractors and they will go smooth the gravel out when they see it getting too bad. I'm not sure how "bus stop repairs" became my responsibility, but at least we have a bus. When we moved here, I was told by neighbors that it would never happen. Hehehe...they never met ME!!

At work, our kids started back to school today too and from what I saw, things seemed to go to go pretty smoothly. We also met with our supervisor again and they made some more changes to our school assignments, so I got one of my schools back from last year, and it was the one I begged to keep, so i'm happy.

We aren't doing much tonight. Walter is on a new schedule where he has every other Friday off, so he was off today. When I got home, he went fishing on the dock while I read my book on the swing and it was very relaxing. We are just hanging out at home with Cameron tonight and should hopefully have a quiet night! I hope you do too!
