This Just In

While teaching summer school today, we found a kitty in the desert.
We could hear her crying and I walked out and found her.
Blonde Girl, assisted as she was wearing basketball shoes.
All of the children on the playground watched.
I am sure it will be the talk at the dinner table tonight.
I had to crawl under a tree to get her.
That must have been a sight!
Blonde Girl carried her into the school and gave her water.

We know she is a girl.
We got the free check-up at the PetSmart!
She is about six weeks old.
We are not keeping her, but she is at our house presently.
We bought food to give her and she was starving.
Photo to come!
We have been calling her Hope.

Weekend Update

It was nice to recoup from last week.
Love Man and I saw new "Hangover" movie.
It was not as good as the first.
We also hung out by the pool and hit Old Navy for a big sale.
We also watched our friend's little girl most of the weekend.
Her parents are renovating an old house.
Today, our girls are over there "helping".
I would love to drive by and watch them toil.

We've Partied All Week

Yesterday was Blonde Girl's birthday/pool party.

I let her have the variation of birthday this year.

She was thrilled and worked very hard.

It was fun and all the girls seemed to enjoy it.

But, how can you really tell??

No one texted or made calls,

so I figured they were having fun.

Our Girly Girl

When she did not get her certificate for perfect attendance,

she cut her eyes to me and shot daggers at me.

Me, not her father.

Me.

Ouch!

Oh my God, I am soooo sorry.

In 7th grade, she went to school at 9:30 as she had to get her braces on.
In 8th grade, I picked her up at 3:15 as I needed to get my mother at the airport.
My mother is reading this and saying, "I would have waited for you to get me."
I know that,
but that is not the point.

So, there you have it,
the few hours that she missed in junior high kept her from the recognition she deserves.
I hope she can live with the sacrifice.

She Did It

Okay this is a blurry picture and it is not Project Runway. . . . .
And by the way,

yesterday I felt old.

And, it is Miss Brunette's fault.

She is done.

She turned in all of her projects,

returned text books and

did not owe money to the cafeteria.

She is on her way to being a freshman in high school.

Promotion

Today is Miss B's promotion to the 9th grade.
We are having people over for cake and lemonade.
I post photos tomorrow.

Monday, Monday

Today was the end of the year luncheon at my school.
It is such a nice way to end the year.
I have only missed one since 1999 and it felt funny.
You laugh and almost cry a million times.
All in all, a good time.
