Renai Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So, that was a nice workout. I'm glad I've done zumba at dd's dance studio for a few weeks each semester for the last 4 years or I'd have been lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So, I did take the call even though it was near the end of dd4's dance class. She told me that she's been thinking about it and doing interviews and she just thinks I'm the one for the job. It seems we've both been thinking about it, both reluctant to call the other about options, but she said she decided that by golly she'd call me. She asked what could she/they do to help me, as she knew there were difficulties with my daughter. I explained little's anxiety and I could not put her in full time daycare as it has been progressively getting worse, not better over the last 2 years. When she figured dd is prek age, she said they could put her in my class.. Now the classes are two half day sessions, so what about the other half? She said she'll figure something out, but she wanted me to work there. She said a bunch of other things that would've made me blush had I been white. :D So, there it is. She wants me there. Little one can be in my class (or the one next door), and she can work something out for her for the other half day. I told her I'll talk to my dh tonight and call her tomorrow. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you feel about working full-time? Also, ask if dd can attend your class one session and the other class the other session. Or some other thing that you think would work. Cuz they want you. And that's a really good position to be in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I got half of lesson 2 written and then my brain seemed to go into some kind of seizure. (Don't take me literally here. Literally I got my headache back and can't think any more.) I'm taking a break hoping that I will be able to think again and finish writing this lesson. I know that I would do better with a snack etc. but I don't want to go home for that because if I do, I can guarantee you that I will not finish writing the lesson today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 While I'm griping about the state of my house and my lack of work ethic in that area..... I was planning to stay home all day tomorrow and work on it. And, I just found out I have to take another child to an appt. in the morning. My dh normally covers this kind of appt on his way to work, but he has a meeting so it's on me this time. I need a crying emoticon. (Did you know our standard issue crying emoticons don't have tears? I think we need one with tears.) I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but every time we leave the house it's a 40 minute drive to town, and a 40 minute drive home. I'm not worth shooting after that much time in the car. :driving: :glare: :sad: :nopity: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight I unloaded and reloaded d/w (already did that once this morning, by the way). And I fluffed the load in the dryer and folded it, and put the load from the wash in the dryer. I need to work on my desk, several book shelves and school stuff.

AMJ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Sorry everyone, but I'm getting further behind again (note to self: you are up to page 221). It's been a busy day. Here's a quick update and then I'm off again. DD11 brag: my youngest has been asked to become a sempai at Aikido come September. Sempais are the students who help teach other students. Usually the sempais in the kids class come from the adult's class, but when they find a kid who seems to have a knack for working with others they will ask them to become a sempai, too. DD11 has been working with a particular student who has some difficulties, and that student is coming along well. Sensei is pleased and impressed, and so he has asked DD11 to become a sempai. He says in September he will give her her own small bunch of students to help train, and will change out her snazzy blue gi for the plain white gi the adults and sempais all wear. I'M SO PROUD!!!! Sunday DH smoked a roast for me so I could make a smokey pot roast out of it yesterday. I didn't get the flavorings right, and it was rather bland. Today I made soup from the leftover pot roast. I thought it tasted rather bland again, but DH raved about it and the kids both liked it and ate their fill. I guess it's okay, then! I heard from my friend that she has to be out of her apartment by Thursday, which had me panicking. Then I found out why -- the landlady is letting her have a bigger apartment for the same price. My friend and her daughter are already 90% moved -- she just needs to grab the last of her stuff and clean the carpets. She has a day off Wednesday, so she says she has ample time to finish. I had a massage today, a treat for myself, and it turned into a good therapeutic decision. My knees (hurt last week) aren't hurting now, thanks to J's good work. Hooray for massage therapists who know their stuff! I'm eagerly anticipating tomorrow afternoon's appointment! Can't wait to try out my new hearing aid! I might be distracted with it tomorrow (and cooking the celebratory stuffed peppers I have planned for dinner with DH's folks), so if I'm not back before Thursday please forgive me. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Hugs to everyone, because I'm sure you will need them sometime! I'll catch up more later in the week. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
