Back to school at last! Though this year, i&#8217;ve two kids in the middle school and I&#8217;m finding that just a bit disconcerting, for sure. The boy was of course grumpy about the whole thing &#8211;  The girl seems to be enjoying it though. Or rather, she was until she got her first homework assignments tonight. *L* Fortunately it&#8217;s mostly in math, and she enjoys math. <\/p>\n<p>SHe&#8217;s set up in band, and her teacher got a first look at her clarinet in band class today, and said that most likely it&#8217;ll be the only one of that brand in the band &#8211; and that it was a good thing, because it&#8217;s a VERY high quality instrument and that she should be proud to play it. <\/p>\n<p>Heh. made the Asshole&#8217;s day, that did. *g*<\/p>\n<p>We got the teacher we wanted for the pup, so I&#8217;m happy, and she&#8217;s quite content to be back in school and the bids for being the center of attention have begun. *L* If anyone can handle her, Ms. L can, however, as she already survived my first two, and taught them so very much. When the boy was in 1st grade, he was pretty far behind &#8211; in two years Ms. L had him reading past his grade level and instilled a lifelong love of the written word in him. She did the same for the Girl, though she wasn&#8217;t far behind as he was. I know she&#8217;ll do wonders for the pup too. <\/p>\n<p>I spent the majority of my weekend being a scorekeeper for the Adult Co-Ed State Softball Tourney &#8211; it was fun, but exhausting and cold -but well, 10 bucks a game, each game 1h10m, that&#8217;s like 10 bucks an hour and I made 120 on my field. *g* not bad for 1.5 days of work.<\/p>\n<p>Now if they&#8217;d only PAY me. heh.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m grumpy.<\/p>\n<p>So instead of venting, i&#8217;ma just leave ya with some cute ass kids.
