Busy Day

Well, I was so busy today I forgot to get a "love scrap".

First thing this morning (8am) I gave Ruth and Amos (Liberian refugees) a ride to the ESL place, for her to get tested. That put me to work a bit late.

Then I met with a new guy at work, Eddy. He's very nice, and should be a good addition to our work.

Maddie was sick today at school (threw up in the cafeteria bathroom), and Courtney had to go get her about 2pm.

Court took Molly (that's right, Molly) to the doctor at 4pm, apparently for a routine check-up. They are still gone. Maddie was a little worried about them. I hope they just went out to dinner, went to the store, etc.

Well, Maddie is yelling at me to come watch the Simpsons (good, family entertainment), so I'd better motor!

Chow!

Back the to Grind

Today, Tuesday after Labor day:

Vivian made it off to the airport this morning, and the girls got off to school on time (it took me awhile to find my keys and my wallet, not having used either for about three days).

At work I need to prepare for an audit (deadline in one week), and Amos (a Liberian refugee) needs help getting to the BMV to get his licence (his car was towed since he was driving it with expired plates, and it wasn't titled in his name, and he didn't have it registered, and he didn't have a "real" licence...he had some sort of a temporary licence). I've had my car impounded under similar circumstances. If you have a few strikes against you, they tend to go for the impound...

This evening:

1. Maddie has kickball after school,
2. Courtney is playing tennis with her mom at 5pm,
3. I am having dinner w/ my pa, then playing poker,
4. Molly is going to Jill's after school, then has her piano lesson at 7:30.

Well, gotta jet off to work.

Hi to those I think may be reading this: Cameron, Court, Dan, Jay, Kelley, Marshall, Mom. If you read fairly consistently, but I didn't list you, write a comment or drop me an e-mail!

My shoulder aches, MRI is tomorrow ($1,600 - we have a deductible of $500 - YIKES!).

Memorial Day Weekend - 2005

The girls are back from Memphis - they had a blast. Most of them said their favorite part of the vaction was swimming - they're all sunburned except Molly.

My weekend went well - I cleaned, trimmed the lawn, saw "Revenge of the Sith" (as did they, down in Memphis), made sack lunches for the homeless - at Robert's Park Methodist Church, and visited a liberian refugee family we help out a bit (Evelyn has a three-week old named (somewhat strangely) Evelyn).

The refugee family seems to be doing alright. All but one of the children who should be, are in school, both parents are working, there is food on the table and they are safe. Much better than being in Liberia, I imagine.

Yoda is my favorite Star Wars character...I think he's Buddist (ok, I know he's a Jedi, but in real life, I think he's Buddist).
