A day of adventure?

First Happy Birthday (yesterday) to my dear friend T.  I hope you had a magical day!

Yesterday, for me, for parts, sucked. First it's my son's birthday. No not Drew. Alex, he would have been 11 years old yesterday.  It's been nearly 10 years since he got his angel wings, and it's still as sucky now as the first year.   Then to add to the "fun" I found out Beth did not get the transfer we wanted, so as of now she's going to WHS. ICK! in the last 3 weeks they've had 4 bomb threats. I'm so not pleased! I'm going to contact the other HS to see if their band director can help us at all as Beth is accomplished on the violin.  Then There's N. my darling next door neighbor "girl" she's a jr at WHS, and is taking child development. I allowed Drfew to go as a "guinea pig" for a class. Of course my plan to stay with him was foiled when Tori needed me to pick her up as her allergies were bothering her. So I get Tori, get her meds, go get Katie, go back to get Drew and yep, you guessed it. Lock down due to bomb threat. I finally did the only "rational" thing. I parked without permit in the student lot and walked through the receiving gates onto campus (no locked gates) and went and got Drew. I was stopped by one adult who wanted to know where I was going. I gave a classroom number.. that was it! NOT safe to my mind.  I called and spoke to the principal after I got home. She sounded very embarassed.

To compensate for the crummy afternoon I thought it would be fun to have dinner at the Pub. WRONG. Drew didn't get a nap, and was therefore WILDMAN.  We ended up coming home just after DH and Beth arrived (from Ballet) and having leftovers.  Then I went to choir and back to the pub to meet mom to hear a new band (to us) who are very good heavy metal/punk. The Vindakits. Mom was enjoying them, and truly surprised most of the other patrons.  It was the one main point of fun in the day.

 

Today promises to be much better. I'm now off to eat disgustingly bad for you food too early in the day, while watching a movie with my daughter before taking her to meet her youth group for a weekend at the lake.
