I swear waiting is the worst thing ever. Yesterday was the first real day that everyone that Ben worked around knew they were being booted. He had to explain to all his suppliers and other people at the plant that they would no longer be there. I think it really hit home to him. He kept saying last night that he felt sick to his stomach from nerves. He has been there for over 4 years now, so he is coming to grips with all the change. If only we knew what the change will be.... I think they will put him in Cinci. He wrote his boss and asked if he should cancel his classes at Sinclair for fall quarter. His boss wrote back and said "don't do anything yet. Lot's of opportunities and we'll discuss with you later." Right now all the managers are in Washington for something else. Great timing. They don't get back till tomorrow.
Anyways, yesterday we took Brock to meet his teacher and see his classroom at the elementary school. I had no idea how it all worked. But next year I will be more prepared on this whole thing. I thought they would talk with the parents in the auditorium or in the classroom. Nope, you just walk in and introduce your kid to the teacher, see the classroom and leave. After we stood around in the classroom for like 10 minutes we figured this out. We are so bright lately. That's okay, next year I will know what to do. And not to show up right at 6:45 with the mob of parents who are all blocking the door to be first. ugh. It was crazy in the school. One of the parents thought I was the teacher while I waiting in line to introduce Brock. ha. The teacher didn't even ask my name. She said hi to Brock, told me sign in and that was it. No love there.
So I did notice that whoever does the teacher hiring there must be a pervert (the Principal maybe?). All the kindergarten teachers were very pretty and young. All three were big boobed, blond, small, very attractive. Hmmm... Can we see a pattern here? I was expecting older woman with hair in a bun who had been teaching kids for 35 years. No, some young chick with 2 years experience teaching my kids the most essential things for life. Or maybe I am bitter because she is pretty. Not sure.
I am trying to get back into the moms group. Went MIA for awhile. Work has been so hectic and I just didn't have the time to keep up. Plus there are so many new people that I am just not comfortable on there like I use to be. And the fact that so many are stay at home and I can't relate nor meet with them during the week because I do work. So I am making an effort to post again but it just isn't the same I guess. Maybe I am too stressed and the littlest things annoy me. Who knows.
But I do know I should get back to working. I have an easier day today and no meetings so I am quite happy about it. I did manage to tear my panty hose though a minute ago. Dammit.
