School is in full swing, and it's going pretty well.... with a couple of little issues:
The DNC is affecting us in so many ways... Law has been working 12hr days since last Saturday, I work until 5, so Deven has been schooling on his own. We'll see how well that went when I give him his tests today and tomorrow.
Janiyah is in an all girls class, and her teacher teaches differently from what she's used to. Her teacher actually does something that I do at home - she tells the kids that they cannot have help with their homework. I love that, because how is the teacher supposed to know that the kid is struggling if the parents are always helping them?
Ahja is happy - I think. She has French, which is the language she wanted, and she has gym... I KNOW she's not happy about that. AT ALL. But we'll get through it.
Dianna is getting ready for The Color Purple, so she's at school very late. She's also had about six schedule changes, but she's dealing with it well.
This Sunday, we are having our annual homeowner picnic, which I am in charge of. I have been ridiculously busy, so I can't wait until Monday. I am going to SLEEP! Other than that, my job is going pretty well. So although the title says "work", there's nothing more about it...
We're supposed to go to Philly. We really want to get there, but it's going to be hard - we have car trouble again. I'm going to make Law ride a bike! I don't know what's wrong with the van, but I do know it happened when Law was driving it... yes, I'm throwing him under the bus - or the van, as the case may be...
So... if we don't get this van fixed soon, we're not going. And we REALLY want to go. Can you help us? We have lodging, we just need help with gas. If you want to know why it's so important, I can email it to you... it's a surprise!
Hey, a closed mouth doesn't get fed...
Pray for us, fam. We need it!
