Slowly starting to get back into routine after the summer off. I always get up early, but in the summer I don't 'get going' ! The usual first day, Welcome back address and speeches. sitting for nearly 3 hours on a bleacher i8s a killer on one's back ! Staff meeting in the afternoon , working in the library, more meetings. We did have the 'Amazing Race' Tuesday afternoon which was so much fun ! A great afternoon and kudos to the two teachers who arranged everything with 10 pit stops in businesses and parks in the town !
One of our EA's has started already playing her little game. Life is too short to pay any more attention to her. She'll either get caught, or not . Admin has been told and I'll just do my job to the best of my ability.
My ED went to Diner en Blanc and had a wonderful experience. Wore the pearls I had given her :) And brought some leftovers home :)
ED was a course marshall for the Tour of Alberta. ES, YS , YGS and I went with her to watch the race. It rained and was cold and windy, but we had fun ! YGS was most impressed with the motorcycles who came whipping through before the winner ! Three of us did sip some homemade Cherry Rum liqueur to keep us warm. We had layers of clothing, mitts rain gear and only our feet got cold ! 15 years ago we were given two rain suits from Canadian, an airline no longer in existance. We have had such good use out of them. In fact, one year hiking in Jasper National Park, some campers thought we were rangers ! LOL They are nearly the same colour as the Rangers'
I finished the shawl and am most pleased with how it turned out. Of course I have already started on the next one !
YGS was rude to his other grandmother, saying he didn't want to stay with her anymore that day and refused to kiss and hug her. ES punished him for beieng rude, but can understand why he said he wanted to be here with us. We DO things with him, not just taking him to movies and to the dollar store. I understand why toga was upset, but she wants him to be her friend and love her. I am a grandma and realize he isn't always going to like me ! Yesterday he said I wasn't just a grandma, I was a great Great Grandma ! [ til the next time I have to discipline him :) ]
YGS met his teacher - and what do you know I had her in choir years ago ! Her father sold our house ! Tuesday he starts full time. And funnily enough a friend I worked with last year is in my EGS's class this year !
Supper tonight will be spaghetti squash with sauce. At least that is my plan. Needing to go through my wardrobe. I bought nothing new this year ; not knowing if you have a job or not dictates your purchases ! Still don't know my hours but I'll muddle through.
