The roller coaster has begun. Tonight I sat through 2 and 1/2 hours of the Mad monsters soccer camp. Thank goodness we are sitting at only 76% humidity and it's about 83 degrees. I still drank 32 oz. of water and did the pee pee dance in the car all the way home. I have to say it was far more interesting than you would think. I spent the entire evening chatting with one of the teachers at my daughters school. Our schools are in dire need of supplies. I didn't realize that each teacher (those that haven't been let go due to budget cuts) has lost their class supply budget...there is NO money. That means those nifty little weekly notes that come home stating homework and what's going on in class are a distant memory. We, as parents, are going to have to pony up or our children will suffer. I for one, am taking that teacher "wish list" to heart tomorrow morning when I go to register for the 4th grade...EGADS...the fourth grade!
I hated my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Heffner. After my dreamy 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Westomoreland, I did not adjust well to the old school, hard nosed, no fun teacher. I look back now and wonder...how close was she to retirement. I hope the Mad monster will like her teacher this year. I know she is in for a rude awakening when I become more involved in her class life.
Well, I'm off to get ready for that "wish list", creating wedding packages, washing soccer socks and paying fees and donations that i no longer question when it comes to my daughters education.
