Man, this weekend was full of family. Hope and Alicia really enjoyed the concert the other night and I enjoyed it more than I expected. The girls helped me make all of my assignments for yesterday's dinner at Mom's and they also earned some money dusting and organizing my kitchen cabinets. They should visit more often. After we ate, we spent the rest of the day watching movies and raking the leaves in Mom's yard. We watched Akeelah and the Bee, This Christmas and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants2. All really good movies but I cried a LOT yesterday.
Today they had a Thanksgiving dinner at Grandpa's nursing home so I went as the sole rep for my branch of the family. My aunt didn't even tell my dad because she would rather he come for Christmas and she knows he wouldn't do both. That's really sad. I'll probably be the only one to go then too because Tanner will probably have a basketball game and Jaimie won't come. But I'll probably go anyway so I can be paid up on visits for a few months. That's pretty sad too but what are you gonna do?
Two days of work this week and then a five-day weekend. I can't wait. It turns out that the SLP that's leaving is going back to school. I still don't know why she can't wait until the end of the grant but I don't really care because I'm glad I won't have to work with her. In other work news, the data team came to present last year's data to us on Friday too. We rock! There are only two categories where we're not miles ahead of our comparison preschools and there are some pretty logical theories about why they did better in those and even those make us look good. Now if we could just get people at the state level to pay attention, we might actually make some positive advances in early childhood education. Thank goodness we have a new governor that might let that happen.
Anyway, good weekend but not much relaxing so I'm ready to get the next two days over with and have time to just hang out.
