Week 9- 2013

Monday

We had two make up Farm to School days after all those snow days.  We did beef farms this month, which was quite easy and the jerky the kids tried was quite tasty.  Few complaints on this one. 

Tuesday

Observed Lego League at Central in the morning and spend the rest of the day in the office.  Play practices are coming along.  Still have a long way to go in little time.
Had basketball parents potluck.
Received a mean call from one of my vendors about how bad she thinks I am at doing the taxes of my shop because I never gave her a 1099, when she is the only one I am didn't because she refused to give me her ss# after several e-mails, phone calls, and letters.  All other 9 vendors were fine.  Then literally 10 minutes after I drop my form in the postal slot to the IRS I get an e-mail with her ss# (mind you I asked her three months ago and she said that internet was not secure and blah blah blah).   Pulling my hair out.  And up until tax time she was one of my favorite vendors. 

Wednesday 
Snow Day.  Went into the office a little late to find a bitter co-worker who was sick, had called me in the morning (about the time I was getting all the calls from all the schools I work at that they were canceling) and didn't leave a message, to see if I could come in for her.
I left at 10 to go to a funeral.  Donna Wessels was this amazing welcoming soul that I attended church with for a while.  I actually started going to that church after she came to my door when we moved to town with a loaf of bread.  I was on the council with her husband, Carl and they were SO in love, even after 60 some years.  I will totally miss her.

Built a snowman with Link later that evening.  Really good packing snow.  He did almost all of it himself. 

Thursday
Office.  Track Parent's Potluck.  Musical Practice.
Link's been really into skateboarding lately.  Did not see that one coming.  He can even ride standing up now.

Friday
Office.  Brought Link in for half the day, 12-5.  He lay quietly on a blanket for two hours blowing kisses at me, telling me I was kind and that lying on the blanket was really fun.   Seriously.   Then he finally fell asleep for two hours.  Easiest work day with kid, ever.  Musical Practice.


Saturday
Whimsy.  Lego Meeting with Trish.  Choreography.  Set.
And then Bryce and I went to Casino night at the Extension Office.  We had a good meal, played roulette, plinko, and some kind of fast poker.  Then there was a auction with the money we won (It was all fake).  I had my eyes on a few things, but groups pooled their money together and Bryce and I didn't really have enough to get anything.

Sunday
Link and I went thrift shopping to the max.  Singing "Pop some tags" all day long.  We went to dollar days in Oelwein, then Indy, then Waterloo.  We were both tuckered out by the time we got home.  I was mostly prop shopping for the Musical, but it was still a lot of fun.
